i'm not a big fan of Silence .. it was ok ... a little to slick for me though .. I really liked Manhunter.

the worst thing silence did was to (well - the fans did) open the sluicegate for the films that followed. Rush jobs cashing in on the popularity of Hopkins as Lector.

To his credit his role/performance wasn't any more bloated than the character in Harris's books .. but i didnt like Hannibal as a book either.


i'm sure the'll want Hopkins to play Hannibal as a 10 year old in the next travesty ---- i mean film. Makeup is going to be under a lot of pressure.

it was.

as for me i didnt like silence, hannible, or red dragon much myself.

as for a prequel to TCM i wouldnt mind i R.lee is in it, just not jessica beals.

well, red dragon and manhunter were both adapted from Harris's Red Dragon .. which was the 1st published 'hannibal' novel.

Manhunter just happened to come first.
they probably changed the name so people wouldnt go
expecting a sword and sworcery flick ...

just like what caused the downfall of Friedkin's Sorceror.

Good point. I never could figure out why that was called "Sorceror", haven't watched it in many years.Pretty good if i remember correctly.

amazing movie ..

a remake of a french film called Wages of Fear which the critics prefered.

it was called Sorceror because that was the name of the truck Roy Scheider was driving ...
I'll fated name descision

I most likely would have remembered that but like i said its been many,many years....[.i guessing about 25] since i've seen it.

i saw it in its theatrical release ... blew my nuts off - i loved it.

i have it on LD if you want a rip ...

still prefer silence
perhaps it is because i was 8 when i saw it in theater
but up until that point it was the most out there thing i'd seen on film and the downward trend of mind decay continued on from there :D

every little girl's gotta have their turning point i suppose ;)

Hey...I hadn't even heard of this one till just now...Shouldn't it be out soon?

hopefully not
