Nah cause footperv is all about being a “conventional manly male” and won’t even paint his nails, whereas Dafoe’s character went full drag.

Your response reminds me of Pulp Fiction when Vega and Jules are having a casual conversation questioning the inherent sensuality of foot massages, or lack thereof.

Hahaha that was my first reaction as well. The guy’s partner isn’t asking him to show off his dolled up nails, just to paint them in private as part of their intimacy. He can take it off after!

I know right? like he’s turning down a free pedicure and massage from someone he cares about just because he is “a conventional manly man” and can’t appreciate a good rubdown because he might have to temporarily put on some polish to make his man happy.

For such a private, personal act like painting some toenails in the privacy of their quarantine apartments that really is not a huge deal. The writer acts like his partner is demanding he walk around in sandals, displaying his sexy rainbow toes to the world. Like many kinks that one partner may find embarrassing, this…

Oh yeah, I remember now. He seemed a bit more flashy and less psychologically unsettling than most of Hannibal’s cast. Then again, the show he was on aimed more for that sort of thing. Would be down for a Hap & Leonard & Hannibal crossover.

That was the point I was trying to make, that it isn’t fair to directly compare them. Or rank them, I should say. Comparing Mads and Hopkins is actually very fun and I love doing it, but it wouldn’t be fair to say which one is better. That also raises the problematic question of if it advantageous to have three…

I could see Jimmi Simpson as one of those other serial killer weirdos who Hannibal kills in season one after toying with for a bit back when they were experimenting with ideas and plots that weren’t from the books.

He danced when they were in Italy I’m pretty sure. Him and Gillian Anderson.

The third season starts with a lot of navel gazing and mind palaces etc. but once it moves on to the “Red Dragon” storyline things really pick up I promise you.

I think Waltz did a lot with what he was given in Spectre. Like, he was definitely thrown in there as type casting after his glorious other villain roles. I can’t help but think what could have been if Waltz had been given the type of role support and direction that happened in films like Skyfall and Casino Royale. Ah…

haha yeah they did sort of repeat that ad nauseum. You could put a drinking game to that and how Graham says “meat” in the 2-3 seasons.

I agree, though the movies in which Hopkins got to have main character levels of screen time “Hannibal” and “Red Dragon” were also inferior adaptations than “Silence of the Lambs” so some of the hammy nature could go to lesser direction and not be the fault of Hopkins. Whereas the show Hannibal was on point all the…

For sure, but remember that the first Hopkins version of Lector was when the illusion had been shattered and he was already in jail for his actions and everybody knew he was dangerous. So he could ham it up a bit and it was understandable that in a facility like that under Chilton’s abrasive supervision he’d revel in…

I agree that it ended on a great note and I think at that point the character performances and mix between plot and visuals was firing on all cylinders. I can’t imagine a better ending and NBC gave it a huge amount of creative latitude that they didn’t give other shows, poor “Constantine” didn’t even get to have…

I agree, plus it was allowed to end with a wonderful finale that I think was very fitting for the show. And it had exhausted all the source material they could legally use (Silence of the Lambs was something they couldn’t get the rights to) so a fourth season would be up to their imagination and I can sort of…

Sam Elliot, Scoot McNairy, David Suchet, Nick Offerman, Billy Dee Williams, Tyler Bate, and Trent Seven, and the rest of the Mustache Mountain club are sending out their love to Brimley and his wondrous facial hair.

It would have been in poor taste, but I would have laughed if Cranston had shared a recovery pic of him in his Heisenberg superlab Meth suit and gasmask. Just to show the depths of his commitment to not getting it a second time. Again, that would have been making too light of a very serious situation, but it would…

How much did Penguin’s PR people pay/threaten you to say that Snowflame is the only villain powered by cocaine? You can’t own a place called “The Iceberg Lounge” and not have a ton of coke on tap.

I’m glad you mentioned the setup as “an outdated Bond trope” because I was thinking the whole description sounded a bit like “Dr. No” mixed with some “Casino Royale” and such. I’m guessing the elder woman you mention is going to be her Quarrel. I know it was said in jest, but Bane showing up and wrecking house would…
