HEY GUYS.

I like the joke about Joaquin Phoenix playing the then-recently-deceased James Brown in a movie. "I don't think audiences will accept him as a wife beater." *entire stadium boos*

The phone call at the end made me curious. Considering that every third person in the Hanniverse is a serial murderer, do new serial killers routinely call him up to ask him for advice or badger him with questions? I once read how Tom "Biff Tannen" Wilson carries around a bunch of cards with answers to questions

I would feel more annoyed if I were him; indeed, I could almost see it on his face. In musical terms, it's like Hannibal is a rock star, and some asshole just shoved a demo tape into his hand.

Butthead: "They must have, like, known this music sucked. So they, like, brought in a bunch of naked chicks."

I choose to view It's Always Sunny as a deconstruction. In the nineties, we were beset by multiple terrible movies about "generation x"—Reality Bites, Singles, Threesome. These films champion a certain narcissistic mindset; Always Sunny shows the ultimate ruin of this mindset by taking it to its logical, depressing

I know. To Live and Die *is* my favorite movie of all time. No joke.

Indeed, this brings up another point: I like how the Tooth Fairy decided to strike not in the American south (as in the book), but in Buffalo, Chicago, etc.

"The psychatric community doesn't know what to call you."

My favorite part is the conversation between Will and his kid in the supermarket. The shelves don't match from shot to shot; once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

I think the funniest part of the episode was Hannibal's ingratitude. "You're welcome". You can't win with this guy.

Manhunter is the greatest. It's one of my favorite movies of all time. That said, there's always a bit of unintentional humor (e.g. William Petersen screaming at the television; the way Will picks up his fourteen-year-old son at the end.)

Sadly, there was no (Soft Ambient Pulse) on the CC.

You Won't Believe What This Serial Killer Did!

HENRY LOUIS GATES, I CHALLENGE YOU AND TA-NEHISI COATES TO A CAGE MATCH. IF I WIN, MORRIS DEES HAS TO LEAVE TOWN. WHATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THE HULKSTER AND HIS 24 INCH PYTHONS AND HIS 20-FOOT ROPE GO WILD ON YOU? AT TO ALL THE LITTLE HULKAMANIACS, OUT THERE: SAY YOUR PRAYERS, TAKE YOUR VITAMINS, AND DON'T MINGLE WITH THE

Roger Ebert once said of Pete Postlethwaite that, in The Lost World, he was the only actor who seemed convinced that he was on an island with dinosaurs, and not merely in a special-effects movie about them.

Hannibal strikes me as more of a Travis man.

Every time Anderson yelled "MARGOT!" in that fucked-up WC Fields-like voice was television gold.

I wonder if Will will see a red dragon the way he saw the wendigo.
