She was so young, living in a group house with friends, and had experienced nothing challenging in life. She's 18, still figuring stuff out, and seemed very driven. They didn't even do that much with her. That one baffled me. I can forgive the bad episodes because the Tyreek episode was awesome. Antony on the other hand...he wouldn't be out of place in an episode of Hannibal these days.

What the hell is up with the weird tone of The Search on Netflix? It's based on the true story about a little girl being found dead but it's being treated like a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode and it's really weird and uncomfortable. The acting is fine but it really really does not fit subject matter this grim and depressing. Like the dude playing the Deputy Attorney General is acting like this put upon dork and it feels like it should be on VEEP or something and not the true story about a child murder.

Decided to watch Cold Mountain because I've never seen it and I feel like ACW movies be hard to find on streaming for the next little stretch. What the gently caress is going on with this movie? Some real weird casting choices - almost exclusively non-American actors, none of which can carry a Southern accent worth a drat. Nicole Kidman tries and it's pretty painful. Jude Law just lowers his voice and grunts his way through the movie, hoping no one will notice his lack of accent. Philip Seymour Hoffman's is somehow the worst of all, wandering regularly over into faux-British accent territory. The two romantic leads, Nicole Kidman and Jude Law, seem to have actual negative chemistry. It's also like 2.5 hours long, at least 40 minutes of which are just scenes of Nicole Kidman being lovely at farming for comic relief, I guess? There is also a backflipping albino bad guy. I'll at least give them credit for making Battle of the Crater at the beginning properly nightmarish, but that's really the only nice thing I can find to say about it.

I was browsing justwatch.com and noticed that World War Z is available to stream on 12 different platforms. So I thought to myself - I wonder which movie has the most streaming options? Just typing in random films, I found a few other 12s, and then hit the jackpot!!  Available on 15 different services!! Now I'm wondering if there is something out there that beats it?

I think one of my favorite things about Hannibal is how Jack Crawford, the head of the FBI’s behavioral science unit, routinely goes on solo missions to crime scenes or to active crises. Because that is what the head of the behavioral science unit does. Or sometimes he drags a non-FBI psychology consultant along with him. It’s weird how this show can be so grim and humorless and also so goofy at the same time.

The best worst thing to happen to television since you had to go buy a new one when everything switched to hd e For an actual contribution, the first twelve or thirteen minutes of the first episode of High Maintenance on HBO shocked me more than anything in Game of Thrones ever did. Then there was still twenty minutes of episode left, which were also each individually incredible. I'd only seen a couple one-off episodes where he's biking around selling weed and it's kind of funny, I had no idea it started like this.

Because that is what the head of the behavioral science unit does. Just a carryover I guess from the books and movies where the BSU is dealing with these major crises(one of which involves a Senator's daughter) so it makes sense for Crawford to be directly involved. And of course you were able to get Lawrence Fisburne to agree to be in the show so you can't waste him. When you think about it Crawford does have this habit of going at cases in weird ways, like how he tapped Clarice to interview Lecter, or the way he uses Will Graham as a guided missile.

Don't forget Jack Crawford was inspired by John Douglas who wrote books on profiling, including Mindhunter, which inspired the Netflix series of the same name and the main character is also based on Douglas!

I don't think Hannibal is ever really "humorless." It has the exact same narrative sensibilities as Fuller's other shows, except it doesn't have a narrator making jokey comments about the dramatic irony (which is, itself, very much still there.) e: this is a show that introduces its main character giving a lecture about Hannah Arendt's "The Banality of Evil" and then the next three seasons are about him falling madly in love with the Devil because he just can't help himself

Yeah describing Hannibal as humorless is surprising, maybe that's how it was in season 1 but at this point there's like some silly pun or sly line (usually involving cannibalism or mutilation) every episode now. Mason and Hannibal practice their standup all the time. Even season 1 had the csi goof crew who i hate and am glad i see way less of now (sorry Scott Thompson, i love kids in the hall tho)

I’m in season 2 and Mason hasn’t appeared yet. The only people on the show with a sense of humor at the moment are the lab techs, and their comedy routine is just tedious. The only other Brian Fuller show I have seen is American Gods which always has solid jokes sprinkled in with the mythology, so maybe I was just expecting something more like that. American Gods seems to understand what a ridiculous show it is (or did during the first season).
