I didn't watch a whole lot of the Daily Show, but I have to give Stewart credit for bringing on Hadi al-Bahra when CNN and crew were too busy running 24 hour coverage of ISIS WATCH.

remember when jon stewart held a rally to suggest that republicans & dems should be nicer to each other and respect their differences

i remember thinking this was a good thing when it happened. i had only recently shaken my high school libertarianism and thought being a moderate was nice and good.

Well, to be fair, being nice to other people and reaching across the aisle is a good thing, when one side hasn't gone so far off the rails in one direction and refuses to compromise in any way, shape, or form. It's just a problem when that sort of thing has happened, yet most people don't want to talk about it.

I read the SotL book a few years ago, and it was pretty good, but I'm really glad they excised the romance subplot from the movie.
Yeah it was really out of place and literally tacked on at the end (like the last 3 paragraphs).

I actually really think William Petersen did a good job on Manhunter, but if that movie had an actor as good as Jodie Foster as its lead it would be pretty godly.

Harris is an author who got a lot loving worse as time went on.
When CSI first started up I kept going nooooo Will Graham you got all doughy :smith: This may be a bullshit internet rumor, but as far as Harris is concerned, from what I understand he was done with those characters after SotL but people kept pressuring him to write more so he put out Hannibal. Which starts off great but then completely shits the bed in the last 15 pages or so (It's actually the reason Jodie Foster didn't sign on to do the sequel and they completely rewrote the ending for the movie). But that was on purpose, he thought that terrible ending would be well, the end of it but people kept clamoring for more and so each subsequent book was exponentially worse. Basically a giant gently caress you but he was making shitloads of money from it.

He might have meant you're wrong about "Manhunter" being the best Hannibal movie, which is correct, you are wrong about that. "Silence of the Lambs" deserved every Oscar it got, and Hopkins is the bet Hannibal. Cox is a close second, though, I agree.

nope, hannibal owns, mikkelsen owns and is the best hannibal, hopkins is third-best hannibal

Yeah that's pretty much exactly what happened. Whatever you think of Martin Amis, he's pretty much written the obituary for the later Hannibal novels in glorious print.

The problem is there's not many lines of employment for lawyers/legal academics that don't involve tipping your hand about what you think about certain issues that haven't already been litigated before the Court, which isn't necessarily what you'd want to do if you've never had your opinion on the subject captured in print before. That and it's probably seen as unseemly.

this world. mikkelsen owns that role. to be fair though i think hannibal is a much more interesting character "in the wild" than incarcerated so i am more responsive to the work mikkelsen has been given to do
