Hardly Innovative tho.

Hannibal is just another NCIS with a canibal character.

Don't know anything about Dracula.

:wacko:

Hannibal is nothing like NCIS.

No kidding.  :lol:  Maybe he's losing it between the subtitles and not watching it.

All Crime shows & Cops shows are NCIS-a-like. :zzz

but Seedy is right, I've only ever watch episode 2 or 3 (or 5). Just one, not the 1st one.
Colonel Caliga is Awesome.

Closest comparison I can think of would be Twin Peaks.

No. NCIS copied other shows.  :rolleyes:

I think there's some X-Files DNA in there, but that's in part due to Silence of the Lambs' influence on the X-Files.  They've cast Gillian Anderson and Lance Henriksen, though.

Hannibal might be my favorite show in 2-3 years.  I like it more than The Americans, which seems almost impossible given that The Americans is fantastic and about as tailor-made for me as any television show in human history.

The Doll (1919)

Ernst Lubitsch film about a shy young man who marries a life sized doll in order to gain an inheritance.  In his village there's a doll maker who makes life sized mechanical dolls for "Bachelors, widowers and misogynists."  (Targeted advertisement for Languish if there ever was one.)  Anyhow right before the man carts off his doll the apprentice breaks it.  The doll maker's daughter (who was the model for the doll) impersonates the doll.  Hilarity ensues.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

You should watch all the episodes, it's totally different.

Sounds like the comedic double of the E.T.A. Hoffmann "Sandman" tale that Freud derives "the uncanny" from...  :hmm:

I think it's actually based on "The Doll" by Hoffmann.

Godzilla trailer is out, not sure what to think. I guess I just hope it does not suck.
The original teaser was better I think. The studio keeps deleting it from the internet though. <_<
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

SPIKE JONZE IS SO CREATIVE

Anyway, this sounds mighty cool.  This is the kind of thing I was talking about when I was asking for early utopian science fiction, you know. :D
