Rewatched Silence of the Lambs w/my folks this weekend because dad had never seen it and because I found a really good version on torrentquest, legit 4k no upscaling
Kinda been on a kick with hannibalshit now and trying to watch the 2010's era show but I'm kind of burnt out half way through season 1 with the whole autism-superpower trope

Why you tag me?
Season 2 of Hannibal's about as good as it gets. Season 3 is almost too stupid to even care to finish, if S3 is the last season.
The Edward Norton one (Red Dragon?) is the best of the Thomas Harris adaptations fight me irl if you disagree.

idk because you pinged me referencing buffalo bill 4 hours ago and I assumed you liked the movie
I loved that one but not as much as silence of the lambs. I actually rewatched manhunter and red dragon back to back and literally both are still good but for slightly different reasons.
The terrible truth about manhunter is that everything legit looks effortlessly like the 80's but ages poorly for reasons. Everything in red dragon looks like a dramatized version of what people in the year 2002 think the 80's should look like but still kind of ages better because of higher production value and nostalgia I think. Maybe it was just the weird SAW era desaturation/bleach bypass filter they were using, idk.
Silence of the Lambs was so good though you can obviously tell it was the 90's but there's no magic tech or bravado with portraying the FBI, so it just works.

Oh yeah lol forgot about that.
Yeah, Silence of the Lambs has one of the best-directed endings of any thriller I've seen. I just prefer the acting and story and setting of Red Dragon. And Ralph is wonderful.
Gary Oldman in Hannibal (I think?) is the only highlight there. Rest of the movie's chintsy or unmemorable.
If halfway through Manhunter it turned into a porno, I'd probably have taken a second to notice. Shit is, like, ethnically 80s. Brian Cox also just isn't spooky enough. And the main guy's just so fricking hangdog. Michael Mann's most annoying movie.

Agreed but on re-watching it was truly limited by the writing on the screen play I think.
I mean to read the books at some point but my understanding was they had a very different direction and they also made a lot of the elements too fantastical and less grounded in reality unlike silence of the lambs which always is painfully grounded and quickly paced. Tick tock tick tock, Clarice. Quid pro quo.
100% agree. What it gains in some mild 80s authenticity it loses in every other category like acting/cinematography/style and above all scoring as the soundtrack for silence of the lambs is basically flawless, which red dragon attempts to replicate with some success.
