I'm watching Hannibal. The actor who plays Will must have had headaches the entire time just due to constantly doing EXTREME EXERTION faces

hannibal just gentrifies serial killing smdh

artisinal instragrammable serial killing. serial killing that uses pink himalayan salt

i recently watched several seasons of Dexter and the comparison between the extremely tasteful and fussy serial killing in those two is interesting

hannibal is like a consulting analyst right why do they task him with like escorting persons of interest in the field

Hannibal envisions a world in which the FBI is staffed fully with people who would each be the most exhausting person you know in real life, and they make up how to do FBI as they go along, and everyone receives a concussion between episodes

larry fishburne: will how's it going
will: >}:~[

artistic serial killing is the most common crime in america in this show

mads in this is very chill, very opaque. the hopkins version of the character had a sort of greasy upper class gentility, like a pettiness and insecurity to it. mads here is very austere, very controlled, very centered in his affect. very different characters.

seriously the population of the US in Hamilton must be noticeably lower just due to the number of prolific murderers

*Hannibal

or Hamilton, whatever

since that typo i've been imagining the Hannibal musical with Hamilton edutainment rapping

hannibal character:
i'm hannibal
an animal
eating food that's cannable
(as in able to be canned
such as man)
im a cannibal

will character:
hannibal ate dozens of people but did not have to can any of them. through hard work he never had to preserve food for lean times. america

the moral of the hamnibalton musical is that anyone can come to the america and through hustling get very rich and eat people and never have to plan too far ahead for meals

how does Will Magical Empath pay his utilities or buy groceries when he can't put on pants without going into a metaphorical pants nightmare and waking up 5 hours later in iowa

Take a vacation Will you need some Will time

Very impressed with the amount of gore they got into network tv with this show

Network tv needs more gore, I've decided

Gore is underappreciated

I tend to draw either placid cartoon animals and people or rotting skulls, these are my two modes. I need to draw more melting dudes

in the Hannibal tv show universe serial killing is such the norm its weird when somebody isn't some bad conceptual artist with murder

Does Hannibal ever do anything for fun that isn't coded as extremely aristocratic? Does he ever just play frisbee or something

"Aren't we all tossed upon the wind, in life, like the frisbee, only to be caught in the end between the teeth of a great hound called oblivion, death..."

Hannibal is an extremely efficient scheduler. Dude really uses every hour of the day.

Keeps a therapist practice, cooks fussy meals constantly, plays the harpsichord, has about 50 elaborate murder projects that require regular upkeep to say nothing of covering his tracks and just fucking with people, still finds time for sleep and swimming laps

Psychology is basically magic in this show, as is forensic science, and the FBI is half a dozen friends making it up as they go along

Dude frames more people than my sister, who works at the Michael's framing department

you see, she frames pictures of people. and hannibal frames people for his murders. this is how the joke works

Nobody in this show has any sense of self-preservation aside from Chilton, who is a craven doofus but at least is like "whoa! the noose is tightening around my neck! better come up with a plan! i'm in danger!"

"I find the trout to be a very Nietzschean fish" dude come off it

One thing I appreciate about this show is it takes the faux-science and cop trust of tv forensics and detection and drives it straight into fantasy fever dream land where things only happen because they'd be cool or weird or hella brutal or horny.

at some point in season 2 Will starts looking like a member of a late 90s christian rock band. Will is on some Jars Of Clay shit here

when someone says they have the new Third Day cd

hannibal more like hornybal

this guy is twisted...

Hannibal is hilarious because the character that everyone in the show thinks is the most charming and intriguing and persuasive person on earth would be completely exhausting and irritating in real life.

you: let's get pizza

hannibal: the ancients believed that the world was flat. in some ways we all live on a pizza, all of us toppings on the path from the oven... to the stomach

you: oh my god shut up every goddamn thing i say you do this

Gillian Anderson in Hannibal is perfect bc she gets to play the most aloof and mildly drowsy person ever, and she excels at this

if you want skeptical, engaged but removed, and in need of nap, there is none better

i mean this as high praise

The Hannibal logo looks very "direct to VHS scifi-action movie"

Hannibal Just Shut The Fuck Up During Dinner Challenge

Hannibal: The comic strip character "Cathy" loved chocolate... she found it a balm against the burning ACK of all things. Don't we all require such a thing,

geez this third Hannibal season sure is ponderous huh

if you cut out the flashbacks and the slow mo montages of like grass breaking and meat being cut you'd be left with like 30 minutes of show between the first 3 episodes

DID HE JUST SAIL TO EUROPE?!?!

lol halfway through season 3 Hannibal hits a HARD reset and it's a lot more enjoyable again

WOW I know people are all into Hannibal right now but serial killing and toxic relationships are a BAD MIX and nobody is talking about this!!

eating a painting, lol that's not normal

If a dude eats a priceless painting that's a huge red flag!!!!!

Imagine my face when the museum docent and the special investigator walk in on me eating the priceless painting :|

with few exceptions Hannibal doesn't have much in the way of coherent characters or motivations or plots or relationships but I enjoy how every now and again it just resets into a new version of the show

i should point out that this works in its favor

in the final season there's a great moment where a scary killer guy alludes to his crimes and asks if his captive knows what he's talking about and they say no and he's like "... well it's been on the news a lot..."

they eventually remember after he jogs their memory but it's a great moment of oh right other people pay normal amounts of attention to this whole zany murder dream world, which is to say not much

other people just going about their lives when they're not being killed and posed by any number of aspiring avant garde murder artists
