QuoteIs it that cheap?  It always looks great, with superior production design and gore creations easily worthy of any film.  Kudos if so.  Then again,  I guess cages and motel rooms aren't that expensive, otherwise half of porn couldn't exist.
Madds and Fishburne are both being payed peanuts compared to what they could be, and almost all of the scenes involve 2-3 people.  It's maybe the best looking show I've ever seen, but it is still pretty cheap to produce. 

QuoteFair enough.  Though it's a pretty thorough reimagining.
1: Will Graham gets in the mind of a Serial Killer, it ultimately destroys him. 
2: A criminal profiler in the Baltimore Institute for the Criminally Insane offers assistance in taking down a serial killer.
3: I'm guessing Hannibal escapes justice and has adventures but IDK if they'll have the budget to go awesome places.  That'd be fucking super, though.

How about we all just be a little less Assburger about it and just enjoy the show, hmmm?  How about that?

Languish has nothing to do with this. It's QueenObsessive over there is seeing things no TV author has evern thought about.

It's the same method of nickname creation that gives us "Gay Fox".

I don't have issues with that one. :)

Big Trouble in Little China.  Kurt Russel is great.

I've ditched Hannibal for the time being, and went to one of the series I should really have watched already: Rome. Loving it so far.

Rome's great, until they ran out of money and rushed everything into two episodes :lol:

Yeah, the first season is amazing, as well the first part of the second season. The second part of the second season is a rollercoaster where they pushed stuff that was supposed to happen over 3 or 4 more seasons, which was the show creators' original plan.

That's what I heard, they got wind they were not gonna be renewed so they jammed it all into the second season. That's sorta what's kept me from watching it until now. I hate watching good series that get cancelled/finish abruptly because of cancellation.

It took me like 10 years to finally watch Firefly, for example  :ph34r:

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982).  :wub: And I don't know why people give James Horner shit.  He's great.

A+

Doesn't that mean he hadn't seen it before?  And how much garbage did he watch before?
