Fuck yeah
-
Burl, thoughts?
-
but sounds like Brian Cox is a good fit for that show.
And why is it that every other word in Deadwood is "cocksucker?" -
Holy shit, there's a showdown that's gonna burn the screen up. They could do an entire episode with just these two staring at each other for an hour and it would still be riveting tv.
-
I bet it's unprecedented that relatively not long after an Oscar win a leading lady signed for a multiepisode arc on a sitcom. Hopefully that'll finally tune viewers in to how smart and worthy of attention Arrested Development is.
Oh yeah and that Aeon Flux trailer was uhh... Huh. -

Charlize did display some major comedic chop in "Monster."
by smarkjobber
Intentional or un, her white trash psycho caricature was at turns (maybe inappropriately) hilarious. She out-tic'd the real Wuornos, and was one wolf T-shirt away from being in the wrong film. She should do fine in "AD," -- if nothing else, hopefully she can attract a few more viewers.
-
Man, Burl will fuck some shit up for herc getting that wrong. And the beauty of it is......it really is all Herc's fault.
-
so hopefully he'll play someone just as psychotic. That guy who played the guy who shot Buffalo Bill and played Mr. Wolcott had better not be back this season as a new character. Every time I see that Frappacino commercial with that fat Michael Buble or whatever sining, say "That whore got her throat cut by Mr. W..." and nobody knows what I'm talking about.

Excellent work there. Incidentally, is anyone else sick of having to scroll down a mile past all these amazon links? Fucking story is about four lines long and the rest of the page is Harry trying to get cash out of my sweaty palms

One of my favorite actors on my favorite show. Finally, some COOL news from AICN.
-
Though I hated the movie Hannibal. Giant fucking pigs? Shit. Hey little boy, would you like some brains? What junk. **************** Brian Cox on Deadwood? Interesting, can't wait to hear him say cunteating cocksucker. And Charlize on Arrested Development? Thank God that show wasn't cancelled!

by leiadown&fuckher
And for AICN, that's really saying something. Every single post this cretin has spewed forth over the past few days reeks of moronic simplicity and the ultimate in bad geek fanboy whiny assholism. May you get a head tumor and die an painfully extended screaming death, then be hit by a truck just to make sure, and sooner rather than later. Cretin.
-
if famous guest stars like Carl Weathers (just kidding), Ben stiller, Julia Louis Dreyfuss, Heather Graham, Liza Minnelli, and Martin Short, etc. haven't boosted this show's ratings... not to mention an emmy win for best comedy and loads of press and great reviews during its perfect first season, and a crappier, dumbed down second season that probably turned first-time viewers off... I'm sorry but realisticly this show has already maxed out on it's potential viewer base. It will never be watched consistintly by more than six million viewers (tops), despite the best efforts of Charlize Theron and FOX's annoying promos. FOX only renewed because the people there like it and so they could sell it to another network in syndication. I'm not complaining though.
-
and yes I knew from the main page they must have been referring to Charlize Theron appearing on a TV show - not more episodes of the animated show even before reading the article. Can still hope though ...
-
Actually, blame that one on the book rather than the movie. Boars were cross bred until they developed a species that would eat a live human. That was all Thomas Harris there. And the little kid brain ending is better than Lecter and Starling running off to Brazil to take in some Opera.
And not to mention Mason's sister, a lesbian bodybuilder with a 3 inch clit who wanted her brother's seed so she could conceive...who was portrayed as a male aid in the movie. -
The movie was still bad, even if the book was worse.

Referring to Theron as "Aeon Flux" and Cox as "Hannibal Lecter".
by spike fett
...is not terribly clever.
-
I would love to see him and Ian Mcshane together. And Stacey Keach as Powers Boothe's older brother.
-
Because didn't this site feature news that Brian Cox was to be the voice of 'Aslan' in Dec's. "Narnia" . . . AICN, putting the "oops" back in "scoops". And "Poops".
-
Firefly, Deadwood and Ed Wood are all excellent shows and movie(s), so I'm not sure what you're getting at by saying that one makes the other look like another. Obviously Deadwood is about more than cursing or else the people who usually complain about the cursing, wouldn't go on to say how they don't understand the dialogue (not you, but most people who slam it)............. I've really tried to get into Arrested Development but I don't think it once made me laugh out loud. Would any fans care to point out what makes it so funny? Or compare it to another show, so that I can get a sense of how you rank it? Fox is so cancel happy, that I'm surprised this one lasted so long. I'm curious to understand why, maybe I've only caught bad episodes.

Coxsuckers!!!! Truth be told, I get the same feeling from Deadwo
by big bad clone
pure enjoyment. Both are at turns hilarious and emotional. Both have dynamite casts. And both are unconventional. Which ones better? Such the fuck up, cocksucker, and let me enjoy both.
-
I like Silence of the Lambs but Hopkins hammed it up a little too much.Manhunter on the other hand is one of my favorite films.Cox OWNS Hannibal in that film in my opinion.The scene when he remembers Peterson's scent.Mentioning something about"a cologne your child got you for a gift with a ship on the bottle"Classic..peace
-
Referring to actors by their character names was only mildly amusing the first time I saw t on this site. Now that we're on the 5000th time, it's just plain dumb.

I just knew someone was going to say Cox was the better Hannibal
by grandmufftarkin
...just knew it. Sorry, but anyone recall Cox's Hannibal after Manhunter was released? Nope. Lector's Hannibal, some may say over the top, but everyone remembers it. I thought he owned it in all 3 films.
-
I think his character will turn out to be gay. He will fall in love with a performer in the play. I read that about the new character before Cox was attached so they may change it.
-
it was so fucking nuanced, don't give me that shit.

Yo people who want an explanation of why Arrested Development is
by hamtaro_hentai
I can't give you one. It's along the same lines of having to explain a punch line, you just a get a 'Oh yeah, I get it now. Heh.' I laugh till my sides split at this show (If you don't laugh at the funeral episode, just give up) but if you don't, no worries, just watch something else.

I was watching a part where some dude was dressed like Mrs. Doub
by doc_strange
Then he/she was singing some song which made the guy with a hook cry. That was one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
-
...by far and much truer to the portrayal of the character in the book. Hopkins had amazing chemistry with Foster, but who couldn't? His hammy "I am the evil live action Bugs Bunny" turns in the other two Harris adaptations he starred in were evidence that he could only play the character well with help. Cox's Hannibal was note perfect.
-
Love em both. And its pretty difficult to explain their appeal to someone who just isn't into them (hate to say "doesn't get it," but..). As for the moron comparing Deadwood to Ed Wood (???), get a fuckin life. What the fuck does that make Alien Resurrection then? Whedon trolls don't have a leg to stand on when you bring that piece of turd up...

GrandMuffTarkin: "Lector's Hannibal, some may say over the top, but everyone remembers it."
Big Bad Clone: "Such the fuck up, cocksucker, and let me enjoy both."
If your mangled post doesn't appear in this issue of AiM, we apologize. Space is reserved for posts wherein a mistyping created something humorous, beautiful, or thought-provoking. Simple 'tipos' are not good enough. Thank you. -

First there was "Lekter", now there's "Lecktor"... how many
by salvatoregravano
And no, though Manhunter still is the best thriller ever made, it does not matter that Mann misspelled the name there, too.
-
Jesus Christ. I know this site prides itself on grammatical and spelling gaffes, but get with the program.
-
Not in MANHUNTER it isn't...
-
But it is Lecktor. Go check the Manhunter credits... I'll wait.
-
that strangely changes the name of Hannibal Lecter to Gideon Quinn. I guess before they secured rights to the name? But if they secured rights to the book, why not that name? Bizarre.
-
According to IMDB: "In the second draft of Ted Tally's screenplay, the names of three characters had to be changed from 'Thomas Harris' 's novel for legal reasons. "Jack Crawford" became "Ray Campbell"; "Frederick Chilton" became "Herbert Prentiss"; and, finally, "Hannibal Lecter" became "Gideon Quinn"."
***** Personally, I think an Irishman pissed off Ted Tally that day. -
...who's the cocksucker that'll be playing Wyatt Earp? That's what I've been wanting to find out. Milch said he'd be in Season 3.
-
First off, Lecter is spelled differently in Manhunter...don't know why.Second, Both actors did a fine job with the charactor, they each just approached Lecter from a different angle with equally good results.
