One of the things that I have always loved about Silence of the Lambs is how it is a horror movie second with the relationship between Agent Starling and Dr Lector being the primary tale being told. Not a love story per se , more one of familiarity and understanding. It is something I find facinating to watch unfold…

Trumpence none the wiser.

I could maybe see Hackman in the Lecter role - even though it would be a completely different character - just because he was so fucking good.

A casualty of adaptation, I suppose, since the book makes it explicit that Gumb was rejected for surgical reassignment exactly because he didn’t have the condition that recommended it. The story showed explicitly that such a condition existed, was medically recognized and had reassignment as its proper treatment, and…

If the musical parody “Silence!” is ever performed in your city, you must see it. It is very silly and raunchy and written with such obvious love for the movie - anyone who is a big fan of the film will enjoy it, regardless of your general feelings about musical theatre.

second time ever I’m skipping the article & commenting before I read (first one was the dogs > cats nonsense), just to say:

It’s as perfect a film as I’ve ever seen. 

By using the word “simplicity,” he tells her exactly what she needs to know. If only she was better at recognizing the name of a major sewing pattern manufacturer....

Easily, one of the greatest and most clever movies ever made.

I love this movie for everything you’ve said. Well done.

“One day she might be standing up straight and the next when you come in on another day, she’s in a weird position,” Andros says. “It’s like, is she moving around in there? We don’t know.”

Does she have a younger sister named Khaleesi???

Leave something ugly out and see if it don’t attract haints...

It turns out they were just about a decade too early for the cutest baby doll ever.

I’m just curious what designer thought “let’s give a baby/toddler collagen lips” to signify beauty. The doll is ugly because the design aesthetic is horrible. The CGI wasn’t any better.

At one point did the creator of that doll think, “oh shit, what have I done?” Because that is one ugly ass baby.

Somewhat unrelated, but is anyone else enjoying the solitude, or is it just me?

This right here:

Not that everyone doesn’t have their own problems, but you’ll forgive me for not being too concerned for a guy who will never have to worry about money in his entire life. Yeah, there are other issues people have, but being financially secure is a huge source of comfort. 

I think it’s possible Will cheated. Since the start of their relationship, he has basically played a game of push and pull with Kate. Will has always been confident that Kate will be there no matter what he does. He publicly hooked up with other women while they were dating and Kate just ignored it.
