Mu Zeta posted:Hopkins version was a cartoon even compared to the Manhunter version. In Manhunter he's not only smart but an arrogant rear end in a top hat. By the time we see Ridley Scott's 2001 movie Hannibal is a god drat superhero killing bad guys and corrupt cops. Pretty faithful to the Hannibal novel then.

Snak posted:Yeah, Hannibal rules. My favourite thing about the show is how true Fuller stays to the source while going and telling an entirely different story. The first two seasons, especially, used much of Will's inner monologue from the book as dialogue. As well as many other little touches and flourishes. Like it's a love letter to Thomas Harris while being its own thing. The best job I've seen done of adapting a story into something so different that still feels so right. e: still buttflustered Lifetime has the rights to Buffalo Bill and Clarice so we never got to see what Fuller would have done with them. I do love the show as this bizarre version of Graham's story tho. But what could have been ...

Multiple sources have said--though there's never been any official corroboration--that those rights revert next month, and Fuller started making noise about a possible revival maybe a month or two ago. He'd still need to pull his head out of his rear end, though, because considering his perfectionism and prima donna attitude, the dude is incapable of focusing on more than one project at once, and he's knee-deep in American Gods S2.

Fuller has said he's already talked to them about it and everyone is interested, but I can't see it happening.

Oh, I can't imagine it will ever happen. Given the amount of time it took to shoot each episode, it's a stupidly expensive show, and by the third season about seventeen people were watching it.

I thought he said the show isn't that expensive and that it's all the post production work that makes it look slick.

He was positive that no matter what, he could always be remembered for Hannibal, he was Dr. freakin Lecter. But Mads Milkensen legitimately stole it from him. His Hannibal really is that good. I think it broke Hopkins brain so now he rambles on about the secret history....of the transformers. try the new taco place posted:It sounded like a bad idea 6 years ago and then I heard Rihanna was playing the big Psycho part recently, but then I watched every other show. And now people are saying it deserves legacy Emmys right next to The Leftovers 🤔 Who gives a gently caress? Don't watch it.

I've heard there's an Ian McKellen interview from years and years ago (I haven't read it - I've only read about it - so take with a grain of salt because it may not even exist) where he reminisced about how he, Maggie Smith and Hopkins all joined Sir Laurence Olivier's Shakespearean company around the same time, and Hopkins was always a guy who didn't care much for the purity of the stage or the dignity of treading the boards or whatever it is Serious Actors go on about, and what he really wanted to do was go to America and make big stupid movies and get paid lots of money for it.

Patrick Stewart told a story about how, after doing a season or two of ST:TNG, he was preparing himself for all the ridicule he was going to get from his contemporaries when returned home for doing such a silly, sci-fi show. Instead, he found himself shocked when all of them asked him for help in getting an agent in the US.

Sure, the other famous story there is that Stewart once calculated that he made more money during a single break in filming on TNG than he had in an entire season with the RSC. Edit: I actually found my way to this topic earlier when I was reading about TV shows considered the worst ever on Wikipedia; the leading man in Manimal, Simon MacCorkindale, was apparently one of the first wave of British actors who became popular in American TV along with Joan Collins in Dynasty. I don't know if that's true, but there it is.

Because TNG was sold directly into syndication, by the time the show ended (and for Stewart and Spiner, far earlier than that) not a single member of the starring cast ever needed to work again for a day in their lives.

DC Murderverse posted:watch Hannibal I can't believe I forgot to add Hannibal to my watched list. It was phenomenal and, alongside Fargo and True Detective, really pulled me into the idea of seeing what else I'd missed as far as great television shows. Mads Mikkelsen is absolutely my favorite depiction of Lecter and I didn't think anyone would dethrone Hopkins for me. I just finished season one of Bojack Horseman. It's hilarious, bleak, absurd and heart-breaking in varying degrees. It took a couple episodes for it to really grab me, but I was completely sold by episode 4 or so. The humor is dark but still manages to mix in plenty of silly sight gags, puns and dad jokes. While I'm giggling like an idiot at an anthropomorphic dog man having a trunk full of tennis balls, the next scene could be Bojack having a existential meltdown and aaaallllmost working through and understanding one of his own (numerous) character flaws. The episode Downer Ending was particularly brutal. "I need you to tell me that I'm a good person." I'm surprised how much I like it. I'll be moving on to season two soon. Thanks DivisionPost for the recommendation!

Hopkins himself has always admitted that he was different from his contemporaries because he was always a movie fan and just wanted to act in movies instead of being on stage.

Season 3 of Bojack Horseman had a dumb joke that completely broke me and I had to pause because I was laughing so hard. Princess Carolyn’s date: “I’m the only albino-rhino gyno I know." *Orders another drink* Princess Carolyn: “Oh, great, you’re also a wine addict."

You know what's hilarious about this? Wil Wheaton. Dude thought he was better than Trek, like he'd ascend to a level of acting beyond television. So he left the show and missed out on that contract money. So he spent a decade barely scraping by and only became relevant again because of a joke on a lovely sitcom.
