As a prequel featuring Will Graham, the series is more attached to Red Dragon than it is to Silence of the Lambs. In that case, wouldn't it make more sense to complain that he's not more like Brian Cox from Manhunter, the original Hannibal movie adaptation?

This is all moot anyway, since the entire point of adaptations is to alter certain aspects for artistic, aesthetic, or modernizing purposes. Shit, they straight-up gender-swapped the fuckhead journalist and made her a blogger. Jack Crawford is suddenly black. Frankly, Mikkelsen is the only actor so far to get an accent even close to proper, Brian Cox and Anthony Hopkins just sounded like themselves. Besides that, Mikkelsen's a great actor and is doing a fantastic job so far. I'm glad it got renewed for another season already.

So I just found out Arrested Development came out in 2003? I only heard of it last year...that's really crazy!

Also I love the show!

Twin Peaks is great goddamn

I don't know why it took me so long to get around to it but I don't think there's another show quite like it

It loses it's greatness in the middle of the second season because Lynch stopped directing it at that point and so when he came back he had to tie up a bunch of loose ends other people left open

What I would really love but will never happen is if Lynch remade the series but directed it the whole way through

What are you guys' thoughts on the new marvel show coming out with Phil Coulson?

Exeres · **Posted:** Wed Jul 31, 2013 5:16 pm

I won't have any thoughts on it until I see an episode.

It's a Joss Whedon show though so the smart bet would be one great season that gets cancelled halfway through.

Finally got around to seeing the new Whose Line.

I'm surprised by how much they kept the same from the old one. I knew Wayne, Colin, and Ryan would be there, but the stage looks pretty much the same, many of the games are the same, they even kept brought back Laura Hall and Linda Taylor. It was exactly as funny as the old one too, which is to say, it was awesomely funny.

I've been enjoying Conan recently. His Clueless Gamer segments are great. He recently went back in time and played some 2600 games...

Well combined with Loeb being on the SHIELD team and his ability to keep shows going on for a long time whether people like them or not (See: Ultimate Spider-Man), it may last for a good while.
