Faraudo: You Should Watch Hannibal.

Onirium 03.08.14	Maybe. What the synopis? And the genre?
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Yeah this rules so hard
Onirium 03.08.14	Currently I'm really into The Walking Dead but I'm looking for some new shows to watch so I'll check it out
Faraudo 03.08.14	Well, I'm guessing that you are not familiar with the character/movies. It's a prequel-remake from the movies starring Anthony Hopkins as a cannibal/serial killer. Both are based on the books written by Thomas Harris, and the story's centered in an FBI special investigator called Will Graham, the guy can recreate crime scenes with his mind by just being there, and at some point he meets Hannibal, a psychologist that helps him to get through the traumatic events that he experiences. From there, the story's really complex between those 2, it's kinda hard to explain without you being familiar with the movies. It's one of the very few remakes that I can say that are better than the original, even the source material. The genre is a blend between horror/drama and psychological thriller.
Faraudo 03.08.14	And I don't want to spoil anything so... Go check it out, it's a pretty unique show, to say the least.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	I remember reading they're planning to make seven seasons overall with three adapting the movies 1-3 will all be original material like 1 was 4 will be Red Dragon, 5 will be Silence of the Lambs, 6 will be the Hannibal the movie 7 will be original again and conclude the story
Faraudo 03.08.14	Yeah, I really hope that the ratings are good enough for them to fully realize their vision. I would totally LOVE to see Silence Of The Lambs but with Mads as Hannibal.
Onirium 03.08.14	Okay thanks, it sounds a little bit like Dexter dare I say, which was my favorite TV show until I saw the last episode
Onirium 03.08.14	That bad, bad series finale.
Faraudo 03.08.14	It's way better that Dexter, and it's just on it's second season, so you can imagine how great it is. It's a more intelligent show, it justifies the gore, it has no filler story at all, etc etc. An all-around great show, if you liked Dexter, you'll love this.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Yeah Red Dragon should be amazing too. I wonder who they'd get to play Fiennes' part?
Faraudo 03.08.14	And yeah, it was a horrible series finale, a horrible final season overall, I wanted to feel the urgency, it didn't felt like it was the last season.
Faraudo 03.08.14	I dunno man, but they have proved to be pretty great at casting so I really trust them, and believe in their vision. And y'know, maybe they can fix Ridley Scott's Hannibal, haha.
Onirium 03.08.14	Wait Ridley Scott did that?
Faraudo 03.08.14	Ridley Scott made one of the movies in the trilogy, he made the one called Hannibal, sadly it's the worse of the three, but I believe that if the guys making the show are allowed to "remake" that one, they'll be able to make a better version.
Onirium 03.08.14	Cause you know, I never understood this director; the guy did Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise, Alien and Robin Hood. I mean, what's the link?
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Hannibal was ok but yeah definitely the worst of the three. Better than Robin Hood, at least. I'm sure they could do great with it.
Onirium 03.08.14	Blade Runner is one of my favorites of all time nonetheless
Onirium 03.08.14	Not as good as the book was. And what a poor title for an adaption of a novel called "Do Androids Dream if Electric Sheep?"
Rowan5215 03.08.14	I don't like Blade Runner much, unfortunately. Alien >>>>>>>
Faraudo 03.08.14	Totally, Blade Runner is a true classic. Hahaha, actually, I don't know if you're familiar with the show Fringe, but there's an episode called Do Shapeshifters Dream Of Electric Sheep, it kinda reminded me of that.
Onirium 03.08.14	Have you read the Blade Runner book?
Faraudo 03.08.14	Yes Rowan, Alien is probably Ridley's best movie.
Faraudo 03.08.14	Nope, Onirium, do you reccomend it?
Onirium 03.08.14	Yes absolutely if you like sci-fi and/or noir. Also, yeah I'm really into Fringe right now.
LambsBread 03.08.14	i hate watching shows of books i like because i feel like it kills my imagination and replaces it with how the actors look
Faraudo 03.08.14	Well, i'll definitely check that out. Great!! One of my favorite sci-fi shows of all time, without a doubt. Now you go and check Hannibal! you'll thank me later, hahaha.
Faraudo 03.08.14	Haha yeah, it happens the same to me Lambs, but this show is definitely worth it. I wouldn't mind that with a show as great as this one.
Onirium 03.08.14	Yeah sometimes it's the case. This is why I wouldn't make adapations of books if I were a director; by respect for the author
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Its done so well though
Onirium 03.08.14	@Faraudo: Yeah I'll check it out. Also if you like the book, the author has plenty of other classics which might be even better in my opinion
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	"Currently I'm really into The Walking Dead but I'm looking for some new shows to watch so I'll check it out" walking dead is sooo bad. the comics are fantastic. well, alright. the first season was ok. then it just got so damn boring and fuck. but honestly the last few episodes have shown promise
Faraudo 03.08.14	Yes, i've read the books and they kinda stay faithful to the characters and everything else, but they have taken many liberties and experimented with them, that the characters seem fresh, familiar, but new.
Faraudo 03.08.14	I'll definitely check that author, Onirium, thanks for the rec! And yeah, if you want a version of The Walking Dead, read the comics, or play the Telltale Games version.
Onirium 03.08.14	@LordPots: Yeah I prefer the comics, but the show is still pretty good IMO.
Onirium 03.08.14	Reading the comics at this very moment in fact
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Haven't seen or read anything of the Walking Dead
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	i dunno dude all the likeable characters in the comics are fucking awful in the show. the only good characters on the show are not in the comics. except michonne, shes fine in both. but god the show draws shit out so fucking long to the point of overkill. FINALLY they are done with the farm and the prison thank the lord.
Onirium 03.08.14	Yeah the second half of season 4 is really cool though. They meet Abraham and friends
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	yep shits been cool im down
Onirium 03.08.14	And Carol and Glenn are in fact more likeable in the show I think.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	ok point taken about carol, solely because in the comic she does nothing but suck and then die but dude... glenn is fucking AWWWWWFUL in the show. He's great until they get to the farm and then he loses all sense of humour and just turns into a dramatic cunt ugh i hate him if he gets his skull beaten in in the show i will be stoked, but in the comics i was so upset
Faraudo 03.08.14	I've kinda liked what they've done with Carl, am I the only one? PD: Has anyone watched last night's episode of Hannibal? I just wanna know if you guys think that it was fucking amazing.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Nah I haven't seen last night's yet because I live in Australia :-(
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	carl has gotten OKAY finally. like... tolerable. but he sucked hard for a while
Onirium 03.08.14	Yeah when he was like pseudo sociopath and wanted to kill everyone?
Onirium 03.08.14	Also, I didn't knew Glenn died in the comics. I'm only at the Hunters part.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	when he was a shitty little brat that needed a good smack in the face
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	@onirium awe fuck dude sorry for the spoiler :/
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	shit just gets better and better tho goddamn negan is one of the best villains ever
Onirium 03.08.14	It's ok. My only complaint about the comics is that the author is killimg too much people and making too much useless people appear.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	nah dude, just keep reading
Onirium 03.08.14	But it's still my favorite comic book series
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	it works out fuckin greaaaaat
Faraudo 03.08.14	Well Rowan, you are in for a treat, it's one of my favorite episodes so far, there's an amazing mini montage involving Hannibal and a saw, just amazing.
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	i need to watch hannibal bad since mads is one of my favourite actors. also @onir its great but deffs not my fav comic book series
Faraudo 03.08.14	Watch it Pots, it needs the ratings hahaha. The greatest comic book series is probably Watchmen, Hellboy or V For Vendetta, for me.
Onirium 03.08.14	The TV show also has its useless original characters like T-Dog, the only black guy to ever survive more than two episodes of a zombie series. Or Bob Stookey, which is not totally an original character but damn he's boring
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	"probably Watchmen, Hellboy or V For Vendetta, for me." debatable haha but all good for sure @on t-dog sucks so much
Onirium 03.08.14	@Faraudo: Yeah I forgot Watchmen
Onirium 03.08.14	And Daryl is just too badass
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	daryl is the fucking shit
Faraudo 03.08.14	I remember how hard I laughed when he died, they were kinda developing his character, and on the same episode, he dies. LAWL.
Onirium 03.08.14	He doesn't die
Faraudo 03.08.14	I'm talking about T-Dog, man.
Onirium 03.08.14	And yeah by "daryl is too badass" I meant it in a bad way. However, last Sunday's episode was kind of developping his character in a possibly interesting way.
Onirium 03.08.14	Oh yeah T-dog. On the same episode lori dies and Rick makes his weird face which seems good acting at first but it just isn't
Onirium 03.08.14	Anyways, good night people, got to get some rest. Always a pleasure Sputin' with you
Lord(e)Po)))ts 03.08.14	waat dude i love daryl him michonne and carol are like the 3 only tv carols i actually like
Onirium 03.08.14	Well seems like i'm not going to sleep. Yeah well Daryl's development is pretty cool I have to admit, and Carol is just the best character of the show indeed.
Onirium 03.08.14	Just as "indeed" is the best word in the dictionary.
avonbarksdale221 03.08.14	the walking dead is trash. Hannibal seems really interesting though, I'll have to watch it sometime.
Faraudo 03.08.14	Haha, I love Daryl as well, he makes the show a little less boring most of the time. Night man, always a pleasure to "sput" with someone new. And yeah Avon, watch it, specially because True Detective's about to end, and maybe you'll need to feel the void with another amazing show.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	avon what X-Files ep are you up to
Calc 03.08.14	is this on netflix? i'll just wait otherwise
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Smh now I don't know what X-Files episode avon is up to smh and @Calc http://www.solarmovie.so/tv/hannibal-2013/
DaveyBoy 03.08.14	Loved series 1 of Hannibal. Series 2 doesn't hit here until the end of March. Can't wait.
Faraudo 03.08.14	Man, all I can say is that Series 2 has been flawless so far, the first 2 episodes are incredible.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Davey that link I posted has the season 2 episodes so us Australian don't have to wait!
avonbarksdale221 03.08.14	Haven't watched it since Fallen Angel dude, I'm watching through True Detectivr again so I'm completely in the zone for the finale on Monday.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	The X-Files >>>
Faraudo 03.08.14	Ain't this nice? An actual non-hostile conversation on Sput, we're finally getting there!!
Rowan5215 03.08.14	DON'T SAY THAT THEY'LL HEAR YOU
Faraudo 03.08.14	You're right, Modern Warfare 3 >>>>>Hannibal.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Dude....too far.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Watching Ep2 now though
Faraudo 03.08.14	Hahaha, sorry 'bout that. Enjoy man, the fucking intro is disgusting, even for this show. It's probably one of my favorite Hannibal episodes.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	whoaaaaa that first scene jesus lordy christ
DaveyBoy 03.08.14	Rowan, I'm a patient man... I can wait. Plus, the better half will kill me if I watch without her.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Ah, I see. Well, have fun waiting... and waiting... and waiting.
Faraudo 03.08.14	Well, make damn sure that your better half appreciates the effort, hahaha. Rowan, you finished the episode? Or still there?
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Just finished now. My one complaint about this show is that the dialogue can sometimes be a little bit cheesy and forced, however the whole "eye looking at God" thing was a fantastic idea. Amazing ep for sure
Faraudo 03.08.14	And that visual with the wendigo on top of the silo was so fucking disturbing, haha. I'm not spoiling anything else.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	You mean to other people reading this thread? Yeah good point haha Is that what you call that... thing? A wendigo?
Faraudo 03.08.14	Yes, that's what I mean, haha. And yeah, I think that's how Bryan Fuller (the showrunner) called it, i'm not sure, but that visual was probably one of the creepiest ones the show has ever done.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	That's cool then. And yeah, when Will looked up and saw it I honestly jumped. Having said that, my favourite episode of this show is still probably the one with the girl who couldn't distinguish faces. That one scared the hell out of me.
Faraudo 03.08.14	Yeah, that's the only true-horror episode from this show, I think. Mine's probably this new episode or the first season finale. Speaking about shocking imagery, what's your insight on the "crime scene" from the past 2 episodes?
Gnocchi 03.08.14	Movies shit on the tv series, try the books
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Its absolutely brutal, that first scene of this episode was just... wow
Riviere 03.08.14	Looks like I'll have to catch a few episodes. There's so many good shows out these days it hurts my brain sometimes. I've also heard great things about true detective but haven't watched any yet.
RoyalImperialGuard 03.08.14	I don't really watch tv but Madds Mikkelsen is one of my favorite actors so ill give this a run when I find it at my library.
PayneTiger777 03.08.14	I watched last night's episode and that was some fucked up shit. I normally don't cringe at something that gorey, but damn that was insane. They should put this show on HBO instead.
Faraudo 03.08.14	@Nocte: No, they don't. And yeah, Rowan, I cringed quite a bit, it was pretty graphical, specially for a network show. @Riviere: For me, Hannibal is better that True Detective, and that's quite a thing to say, because TD is amazing. You should watch both. @Payne: I know man, it was pretty intense, the episode had a "horror" vibe throught. Nah, it would probably have self-indulgent sex scenes, I'd probably put this show on AMC.
Faraudo 03.08.14	@Royal: If you like Mads you will love this show.
avonbarksdale221 03.08.14	Still got new Mad Men and Game of Thrones to come out this year, TV is in such a good shape at the moment.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Yeah but watch this first ok? ok
ExcentrifugalForz 03.08.14	watched hannibal because of this thread. maybe it would of helped to watch the earlier episodes but this wasn't that interesting, True Detective is way better. and the Xfiles girl has turned...into...the...female...Shatner
Faraudo 03.08.14	Well, it's a serialized show. It's pointless to watch new episodes without knowing what's up. True Detective is great, but for me, it lacks the spark of originality that Hannibal has. Dunno, it's a matter of taste, I guess.
Rowan5215 03.08.14	Yeah you need to see it all Forz also "and the Xfiles girl has turned...into...the...female...Shatner" LOL
avonbarksdale221 03.09.14	I haven't seen Hannibal so I can't comment there, but True Detective is wholly original. Never seen anything like it on TV.
Rowan5215 03.09.14	Hey avon You should see this show called Hannibal
Faraudo 03.09.14	It's really not that original, it's a cop show at the end... What makes it shine among the other cop shows is the superb acting, the great dialogue, and the cinematography, but in essence, it's not the most original show. But don't get me wrong, it's an amazing show.
LambsBread 07.10.14	wow i just watched Hanibal the movie for the first time, can't believe how much they changed it from the book. Rowan you once asked if you should read the books, you should. The plot is completely different. Like polar opposite different.
LambsBread 07.10.14	God i hate movies, i dont want to spoil it but they COMPLETELY changed the point of the books. fuckin ridiculous. that was nothing short of blasphemy
