    Hannibal S3 Woman Clothed With Sun
    Oops, I forgot what I was going to post.
    Nice flashback to Abigail though.
    "I'd love to meet him" "I'm sure you would" Has he met Dollarhide before? Like his other therapy killers?
    I'm finding it hard to take Hannibal seriously now that someone in D&D mentioned "the Hannibal game".
    I recently got my boyfriend into the show. We found a standard formula of how to talk like Hannibal.
    1. Make a grandiose statement about something you are doing or something that is brought up in conversation.
    2. "Tell me, Will..."
    3. Dramatic question about how this random thing relates to Will.

    For instance, last weekend we went to a potluck and couldn't stop cracking each other up.
    "A potluck is an event in which individuals bring a cherished part of themselves to a communal table. Tell me, Will...what will you bring to the table?"
    "A 3-bean salad is a union of parts that are seemingly the same, yet ultimately so different. Tell me, Will...are we the same? Or are we ultimately different?"
    Freddie's back, hmm, I was starting to like her too.
    Alana seems a bit of a one note character ever since she joined up with Margot. Is Alana in Hannibal's cell? Is he out of it? Are they both in it?
    Abigail's father's corpse is in remarkably good shape.
    The family video stuff is being heavily foreshadowed. I'm surprised that Will can stand in the murder scene, looking at family video, and not put two and two together.
    "A big black box" Ok, Freddie is back in my good books.
    Ok, back to bad books.
    A blind woman working in a dark room, clever but don't you need to be able to see the photos? Hmm, I guess not if you need to do stuff like IR film in total darkness.
    Really good interaction between Dollarhide and the blind lady.
    What is this conversation? I love how Will's imagination comes into (I DON"T HAVE A CRIMINAL MIND?) play even outside crime scenes.

    I hope Netflix can keep this insane streak of hits going

    And release With Bob And David before Fuller House stinks up the place

    Fuller House probably gonna fall into that other category of Netflix shows, they 've had their stinkers, they just bury and try to forget them, but this exists.

    "Hey Mike, we need another show to fill out the lineup"

    "Why don't we just use that script generator that they use for all the Disney and Nickelodeon sitcoms?"

    "Okay, what IPs do we have lying around?"

    "Uh... Richie Rich?"

    "Fuck it, throw it in."

    I always kind of thought that if they made it this far, they'd go for the whole "and a movie" part of it more than they would go for a season 7

    Watch the show immediately after the movie, Blake

    Then watch the movie again and be amazed

    [...]In other words, Review is a satire not just of reality shows, but of New Golden Age of Television antihero dramas, hiding in plain sight. It takes the basic “man ruins all he cares about in the name of something that makes him nominally freer and more powerful” structure of the genre and plays it for deliberate laughs. Instead of a meth empire or a mafia family or a double life, he commits his bad acts in the name of the television show that chronicles them. He’s Walter White, but without the sense that there’s anything tragic about him — he’s just an oblivious faux-smart buffoon. It’s a satire of the middle-class middle-aged white-male entitlement and privilege that all the big dramas treat as the stuff of life.

    “He is like Walter White,” [James Urbaniak, who plays producer Grant] says. “I never really thought about it that way, but I like it, and I’m buying it. He’s a guy who’s made, at a certain age, decisions that simultaneously give him some power but also upend his reality and the reality of those around him. Andy, in his comedy before the show, has always explored the disturbing depths within unassuming guys. He’s from New Jersey, but he has a quintessentially midwestern quality. He just seems like a quintessential nice, pleasant-looking, affable American guy; then it’s all about the depths that this guy’s capable of getting himself into, very much on his own. That sort of is like Don Draper and Walter White and those other guys. I dunno—maybe there’s some zeitgeisty thing going on about middle-aged white guys.”

    I stopped watching It's Always Sunny around season six
    started again
    and every time Dennis is on screen, I feel a little like throwing up on him
    sure, these are all terrible people
    but Dennis causes an actual physical reaction

    There's a lot of good jokes in Wet Hot American Summer.

    But my favorite has to be the names

    7JYD5lR.png

    Maybe I'm just dumb. Or maybe I'm not dumb enough for this movie.

    But I don't see the joke in these names. They just look like names.

    I write you a story
    But it loses its thread

    Perhaps it's all the names Janeane Garofalo's character was listing off in the movie when she was stalling for time?
