The other day I tried telling a couple friends the greatness of the line "is your social worker in that horse?"but it was really hard to do without describing the context to the entire episode.

Astrofig posted:Yeah, I always heard that he's actually a lovely guy; that lady just started slandering him because she didn't like him. That person may have lying, I dunno. Two other people in the comments corroborated, one to who claimed to have worked with him on BE and another with Dawson's Creek. Supposedly he has a reputation for being a pain in the rear end in that's why he only gets bit parts in lovely indie movies and such. Someone else wrote a really scathing attack on an at-the-time "unidentified no-name actor" that was clearly Pitt during the filming of Hedwig and the Angry Inch, based on the details they gave. It could all be BS. I was mostly curious if there had been any talk about why he left / got replaced. He made a great Verger, and the guy replacing him hasn't really been in anything decent.

Am I the only one who thought he completely sucked? I'm glad they recast the character and as long as the new actor doesn't do a Pitt impression I bet he'll be better

Pitt was basically doing a Gary Oldman impersonation, so I don't see it as a big loss.

He really underwhelmed me. I had such high hopes because he was brilliant in Boardwalk Empire, often outshining Steve Buscemi IMO.

Look Sir Droids posted:If the show switches networks I hope they won't add any boobs, gore, or swearing. This show has turned adhering to censorship in to an art form. Well, except for the gore part, which realistically is waaay intense for primetime NBC. I seriously don't get how they got away with all that, especially in the finale.

Apparently in the episode with the guy who made angels they were not allowed show butts, but got by it by dowsing the butts in blood and that was A OKAY

It was specifically the butcrack they couldn't show---so they filled them with blood and the network rubber-stamped it.

I wonder if Pitt just bailed because of the prospect of performing entirely in prosthetic make-up as a paraplegic.

Basebf555 posted:I've heard several different reasons for the survival of The Wire, but yea they all have to do with the fact that HBO thinks about their brand differently than a regular network. Funny thing is, that same mentality is what kept Simon's other show, Homicide, on the air for 7 seasons and a movie despite the show barely breaking the top 100 rated shows of the week.

It's weird, really, Pitt is one of those actors who I keep hearing is a douche but I've never heard of anything specific he's done to deserve that reputation. Maybe he's just generally stubborn and unpleasant?

I'm not really sure where they can take the show now. I don't know what I expected, either. Oh well, regardless I like the characters so there's always that for me to fall back on.

Those coronary vessels are totally unrealistic. Speaking of, I picked up a couple more pork hearts and will be attempting another sous vide pig heart. I swear, the clotted blood is a bitch to dig outta the ventricles.

Stik3 posted:Yeah but with tumblr that's pretty much a given anyways. I'm assuming they're taking little tidbits from the Hannibal and Hannibal Rising novels at this point, which might be okay, Detective Puzzi would be a cool character to see in the tv series universe but i agree they aren't giving us much to go off of in the trailer. Still fingers crossed!

Grin and Tonic posted:Puzzi Pazzi.  "Puzzi" means "stinks" (stink [n.], plural). "Pazzi" means "crazy people". Only pointing this out because Harris likes to have etymological in-jokes. E: Puzzi can also mean "you stink," but that's neither here nor there. Italian lesson for the day! Rabbit Hill fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Feb 25, 2015 |

Have you not read any of the books? The trailer doesn't really touch on any of that because I think the whole first half of the season is supposed to be the Hannibal on-the-run story.

Stik3 posted:I haven't read any of the books, no. I'll check them out though, if anyone can vouch for them. Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs are both very good, very enjoyable books. Hannibal starts strong and then completely falls apart by the end, and Hannibal Rising is terrible. In that sense, the movies are a pretty good reflection of the novels (Manhunter is the original movie adaptation of Red Dragon), a good start that becomes exceptional in the second movie, then things start to fall apart, then everything goes off a cliff and explodes.

Of course, with Bryan Fuller and co. being the 'Thomas Harris mixup DJs' that they are, the fact that S3 uses Hannibal Rising and Hannibal material as a base doesn't mean it can't be a totally awesome reinterpretation that throws out the bad and keeps the good.

That's what has me most excited, the fact they're going to take these flawed stories and enhance all the really good parts of them while presumably dropping out the insane poo poo like Hannibal coming up with a mathematical formula to reverse entropy, or improve stuff like Clarice's ultimate fate (which I think they might kind of already be doing with Bedelia).

ShadowCatboy posted:Those coronary vessels are totally unrealistic. If you soak the hearts in water for about an hour it should loosen the clotted blood. Has Thomas Harris ever commented on the show? I know he's not a big fan of the production company since they forced him into writing Hannibal Rising but I think he would really enjoy the show.

Steve Yun posted:Consensus seems to be Red Dragon good, Silence good, Hannibal hit and miss, Hannibal Rising avoid. I read the first 3 books recently and agree with this. As much as I like Anthony Hopkins' Hannibal, Mikkelsen was the guy I pictured while I read. He nailed the character perfectly. I'm even more excited for the new season now. The books were good and so were the movies but the show is able to reimagine the characters and timelines to make it so much better. Plus I like Will a lot better than Clarice. We'll see how that goes I guess.

Your Gay Uncle posted:If you soak the hearts in water for about an hour it should loosen the clotted blood. Thing is I wanna sous vide them whole and cut em tableside to be extra freaky, and I can't have any hidden blood clots lingering in the chambers. Gave them a good soak and squeeze to clear as much of it out as I could, but who knows what's hiding in the depths. In any case I plan on brining the hearts to infuse some more flavor into 'em. Also sliding your finger into that tight muscular chamber feels rather... risque. ShadowCatboy fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Feb 26, 2015 |

Well If the blood is clotted deep inside he ventricles maybe try submerging it in liquid and squeezing it, try and pump the gunk out. Also while squeezing it you should yell out " Kali Ma!" Steve Yun posted:Wow, he turned down Thor 2 for Hannibal. He was probably up for Maliketh and saw that 95% of his lines in a space elf language and he would be under tons of make up, probably an easy call to make. I was shocked when I saw that it was Eccleston under all that goop.

I'm sure there are plenty he could rock. Any ideas?

One of the things I'm most looking forward to is whatever Hannibal and Clarice's interactions will focus on. I have a hard time imagining that he'll still harp on her "cheap shoes" from the book.

Silence of the Lambs is like a perfect movie and as much as I love this show I'm really nervous about them tackling it. Ideally they would differ way, way from the movie, because even though it's a fantastic show it's safer to try and avoid being compared to the film.
