Hi James
I've been waiting for this moment
Can u do the kill counts on resident evil the action and the animation one that would be cool
Hello James you look good enough to eat little Hannibal joke there let’s just get to the kills!
I like how the girl in the well wasn't just a tragic victim. She seized the first opportunity to get an upper hand by holding Bill's dog hostage.
It would have SUCKED if her plan failed though
@homelesshannah50 not any worse than her current situation
And then she trauma bonded with and STOLE his dog. I mean he was dead now anyway but damn girl.
@@jeishiikanzakiwhy "STOLE" in all caps? She just kept the dog that played a role in saving her life
@@stephengrigg5988 emphasis
I like that Hannibal is just chilling in Jamaica, he’s like “hey, I’m just checking on you. Anyways I’m going to eat this guy, later.”
Goes to show just how cunning and intelligent he truly is. All it took as one pen and he was able to pick his cuffs, kill multiple police officers, escape custody, and flee the country. He is the embodiment of the quote "Appear strong when you are weak and appear weak when you are strong.".
Yeah, like any typical cannibal
Ikr
I wonder how he even got to Jamaica
@@blessedwitralph6317 he is a master of manipulation and faces
Fun fact from a Pittsburgh native, the scene of Hannibal Lecter killing all those cops was actually shot in the same building where my high school used to have its prom, making what Lecter did only the second most horrifying event in that building's history.
what was the most horrible?
What The fuck was the first
@@MikeH1the prom, presumably
@@moosicisthegood oh that must have been where Carrie took place
DAMN
Jame Gumb’s name isn’t a mistake. You are right. They canonically did forget to write it out. His parents were so drunk they forgot the ‘s’ on his birth certificate, according to the novel.
I just commented this too!
In the script, it's "Jamie Gumb," which I believe they use the first time the character is introduced by name. ...and they clearly changed it to get us to confuse Gumb with James Gunn (lol).
@@Kattie41in the book the character explicitly says he hates the pronunciation of “Jamie” and insists on the pronunciation “Jame” as in “James” with no “s”
It was nice to comment on that mistake. That caught my attention as well
Fun Fact: Hannibal's iconic line "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti." is a secret confession he's not taking his medications. All three of those things react very poorly to the medicine he's supposed to be taking.
In other words he want to be like this
This is completely false. It's some bullshit made up on the internet that people need to stop spreading. Lecter wouldn't be on MAOIs in the first place.
That's really interesting I never knew that
Bunk.
My question is how do the people who made the medicine know that eating human liver specifically would not react well with the medicine?
Fun Fact: During the well scene where Buffalo Bill is crying before shouting, "PUT THE F***ING LOTION IN THE BASKET!", those were Ted Levine's real tears. He said before in interviews that he never hated playing Buffalo Bill for the movie, but there were times where he really didn't like it purely because of how cruel he had to be to Brooke Smith (Catherine), even though none of it was real. So when they did that well scene together, Brooke actually improvised the line, "I want my mommy!" and that bit of improvisation caught him so off guard and that was just it for poor Ted. He just burst into tears, and everyone liked it so much that they wanted to keep it in the movie.
I'm glad they did that. Nice way of humanizing such a monstrous character. Give him slight shades of humanity and make us feel gross for feeling bad for him, even just a little bit.
How do u know this?
Poor dog
It's one of my favourite parts of the film. Shows there's still a trace of humanity left in him which makes his actions even darker. Perfect performance from Ted Levine.
@@TheJayLordxyes, he snapped and yelled at her as a human being and not as a third person “it.”
Fun fact: During Clarice's lamb story, you can hear a faint clunk right after she says "I thought if I could save just one", which was a crew member dropping a wrench. Jodie stayed in character enough for the scene to continue, but as soon as it was done, she turned and yelled "What the hell was that?"
Jodie Foster is a badass.
Another Fun Fact: The same actor who played Clarice didn't want to come back for Hannibal because Silence of the Lambs was so terrifying for her. So they had to use a different actress.
@@Mixofthings-m8b No, she turned it down because she didn't like the story.
@@coolnerdlll6053 This is the truth. Thomas Harris did Clarice wrong in the sequel...especially in the novel.
Yeah
Officially she was occupied with another project, though she did not like the novel when she read it as well
“Love your suit” is such a fun, camp line.
"Thankss girrll", as senator walks away.
It's because he knew Buffalo Bill was making a skin suit and that the senator's daughter was going to get stitched into it.
@@vovin8132oh that's horrifying i love that

The title's meaning doesn't carry over to the film, but it comes from the end of the book. Rather than a phone call at her graduation, Lector instead writes her a letter asking if the lambs have stopped screaming, and the last line of the book is that Clarice is sleeping peacefully "in the silence of the lambs."
Just because it's not said doesn't mean it was removed. The first time I watched the scene with Clarice's story, I immediately knew "Oh, the 'Silence of the Lambs' is Catherine getting rescued". Lecter does everything but say it.
@@coolnerdlll6053 Lector DOES ask Clarice in the movie if she thinks the lambs will stop screaming if she manages to save the girl in the well.
I got it from only watching the movie
The fact Hannibal never blinks while he's on screen makes me love this movie even more. Hopkins is such a wonderful actor.
6:24 Srry he blinked
Yeah, he blinks
Does it again at 7:26
Not true at all. He blinks several times.
@@casesoutherland4175Oh my bad
Anthony Hopkins does an incredible job making Hannibal one of the creepiest horror icons. His inflections, tone, the way he never blinks, it's really unnerving the first time watching. No wonder Jodie Foster was actually scared of Hopkins during filming.
Honestly, I'd be intimidated by him too.
Its like that with stage too. When someones really into some crazy or zany character it becomes a question of "You sure this guy's acting?"😂
He literally talks about this in the video
It sure made for an authentic performance.
@@baconenforce_r6522So?
The best scene, and the dramatic climax, is the one second when Clarice and Hannibal's fingers touch, the consummation of their relationship. That's when they both realize their aspirations-- she realizes her own motivation, and he gets to sincerely help someone as a psychiatrist. Gives me chills.
The fact that this masterpiece of a movie ends with a fucking *pun* about cannibalism is so campy, in the best way.
When you think about it, it's amazing how campy this movie is... or rather how campy this movie could be. Hannibal Lecter utters so many corny one-liners ("A census taker once tried to test me... Love your suit" and the like), and, shit, the movie concerns one serial killer who pauses in between murders to appreciate classical music, and another who skins women in order to turn himself into one. It sounds like the stuff of godawful lurid schlock, but the writing and tone of both the novel and the movie elevate it. It's really a remarkable achievement, and I still don't altogether understand how they pulled it off.
@@colinbaldwin313you can always get away with corny writing if you’re tone and ambiance take the charge in compensation. Look at Gladiator. Another film considered to be one of the best ever, and even a lot of crew members, including the screenwriter himself, said yeah maybe the writing isn’t the best. But everything else came together to help the film make an impact.
@gameroftheyear1000 The people who made Gladiator sold themselves short. All the dialogue in that movie is killer.
"Pocket Sand! Oh wait, OH GOD, THAT'S NOT SAND!!!"
I didn't think it was possible to make that scene funny. James doesn't disappoint.
8:24
A callback, to be sure. Not sure if it's a good one.
The way I shrieked after the next line where he referenced There's Something About Mary 🤣🤣🤣
I purposely waited until lunch to watch this because I like to UA-cam while I eat. Somehow, despite having seen this movie COUNTLESS times, I manage to ALWAYS forget about that part. It made me lose my appetite for a minute 😂
Multiple Miggs will suffer for that.
I think the better joke was cutting off when he says “more like getting off on…”
I will always love this film. My dad passed away in 2016, very unexpectedly. He wasn’t great at taking care of me as a kid because he struggled with an addiction to alcohol. Because of this, whenever I visited for the weekend, he’d kind of let me just a watch whatever. The Silence of the Lambs was the first horror film I ever watched (I was maybe 5 and my dad was passed out).
This film gets all the credit for the birth of my love for horror, and it always reminds me of my dad. He had such a kind soul, but addiction ended up taking him away from me and everyone who loved him.
I struggled with my own addiction to opiates and heroin for 10 years. I finally got the help I needed and now I can give my daughter the best version of me; clean and sober. I’ll be 4 years clean in July.
Sorry this comment got so personal but that’s one of the best things about films in general. The way they evoke certain memories and situations and how those films will forever be tied to them
Congrats! Keep up the good work, be happy 🌈
My daughter turning 7 end of the month, you think this is too much for her?
@@ScDarkness913 yeah way to much gore. its not really that scary its just that gore can be very scary for kids and they might get traumatized so get an censored version if you really want to show it to her.
Well done on 4 years that's fucking awesome
I'm sorry you lost your dad, I've been hearing more and more awful stories like that
It makes me think about the trauma and pain my family feel regarding my drinking problem
I've had a bit of a kick and it's been about a month since my last drink
Hope you have a good day 😊
@@ScDarkness913 yes, might wanna wait till for she’s like 12 atleast
I totally expected Zoran to say "Hello, Janisse" 😂
I'm so thrilled to see a kill count for one of my all time favorites!
Missed opportunity
Jameothy will be the name of my firstborn child.
Probably a top 5 movie for me, I watch it once or twice a year. The music, acting, and direction are top tier and made Hannibal a horror icon. If anyone wants to see an early thriller with Anthony Hopkins I suggest checking out 1978's "Magic", a great horror doll movie, he's amazing in it, last I looked it was on Tubi for free too :)
Fuck it all you just had to mention that one!! And notice how much Fats looks just like Anthony, albeit creepy and terrifying.
As good as the acting and story and everything is I've watched the movie a couple times but it never been my kind of movie idk y it just isn't
Top 15 for me. It's a masterpiece, but it's not even my favorite horror movie. That honor will always go to Alien.
It’s number one in my top ten favorite movies of all time, it’s such a masterpiece!!!
Wow TellitAnimated is here .
This comment is a shout out to Anthony Hopkins. A couple years back he'd posted on twitter about his sobriety streak and how proud he was. Days later, I quit drinking too. Its cuz of him I've made 2 years without alcohol!
Congrats!
Congrats!
Congratulations! It’s hard work but you’re doing great and I’m proud of you.
That is such great news! Keep it up! We're all rooting for you!
congratulations! so proud of you
I wrote a paper in my college film class about how the movie does an incredible job of literally putting the viewer in Clarice’s shoes. It bonds the viewer to Clairce and makes the idea of the “male gaze” more personal. Amazing film.
"Well, Clarice - have the lambs stopped screaming?"
The Lambs weren’t in the movie they were silenced for the entire time
The final line of the book, "....Clarice Starling, sleeping deeply, sweetly, in the silence of the lambs."
That part is so creepy
This movie is FULL of fire quotes
"Amputate a man's leg and you can still feel it tickle. Tell me, when your little girl is on the slab, where will it tickle you?" is by far my personal favorite
"Get this thing back to Baltimore" is my favorite line in the movie personally.
@@slayerangel6597 equally valid
“oh, and senator, just one more thing…. love your suit” 🔥🔥🔥
The perfume line gets me every single time.
"You use Evyan skin cream, and sometimes you wear L'Air du Temps, but not today."
Me and my friends habitually would recite the line "Oh wait....Was ssshee a great biig faaat women"
Any Hannibal based content on Dead Meat is a huge win in my book
I’m hoping we can get a podcast episode on the tv series, cause James has said it’s too big for a kill count.
The original dates were on my birthday and I was sooo excited for them then sad when they got postponed. But I'm excited to get them now, love this collection so much!
Here’s hoping he can do the series one day
20:51 DYING at the cop aiming at the ceiling 💀 how had i never noticed that
Right? Me neither, hilarious
Very Funny for sure 😅
It's not that far fetched he could climb up to an alcove to shoot from. Remember earlier in the movie where in a training exercise one recruit was mock attacked from behind and reminded to be prepared for attack from all angles.
They train to do that
wouldn’t put it past hannibal
I liked the way that both Clarice and Hannibal had this sort of respect for each other throughout the film made it very interesting to watch
That’s the whole point of their relationship. Many other agents had been sent in to talk to Hannibal but he went stone cold on each and every one of them. Then walks in Clarice. A fresh faced trainee, who’s still green in almost every way, but also has purpose. She’s not an FBI agent to make headlines, she’s an agent because she’s trying to honor her father. That and her tact and politeness towards the world makes her worthy in Hannibal’s eyes to gain help from him. Plus after being sexually assaulted by Miggs, I’m sure that also was a huge turnaround point for Hannibal as he actually felt sorry for her. She was definitely different from those around her and he knew that.
Ever since I was little, my dad would go “Hello, Clarice” in a creepy voice. I never knew what he was referencing until last year when we watched Silence of the Lambs together. Crazy that he’s been mimicking a horror movie villain for years without me even knowing
If you never knew about the villain then how would you have possibly known? It's called learning in hindsight. He did that on purpose so when you watched it with him you'd get it.
My brother always says "oh wait... was she a great big fat person?" When talking about friends
This is the first time I noticed Hannibal mentioning "the Beldevere" in Florence during their very first conversation, only for Buffalo Bill's hometown being revealed as Beldevere, Ohio later on! He really was dropping hints left and right!
*Belvedere.
7:24 - Fun fact on that iconic line; This is actually a medical joke. In the prison, Dr. Lecter was mostly taking Monoamine oxidase inhibitors(Which was used to treat his psychopathic state) What foods are you NOT supposed to take with it
Liver - Liver
Beans - Fava Beans
Wine - Chianti (This was the change the movie made because most people didn't know that Amarone was a wine. So they changed it to a popular wine at the time)
He was basically trying to tell the detective "I'm off my meds". Something she didn't pick up on.
I was wondering how James would approach Miggs’s heinous prank, and at 8:25 I learned he planned to get demonetized for the sake of the bit. This is why I love you, James
I love how it cuts off right before he finished taking, it made it 10 times better
Man I don’t think that qualifies as a prank.
@@jacksonhodge4638 oops pranked ya haha get pranked
I still can’t believe Buffalo Bill played Captain Leland Stottlemayer in Monk. Always blows my mind
I had to double check that and I can’t believe I missed that.
Really!? Oh wow.
That would be an interesting case for Monk.
Shows his versatility! He’s also in Memoirs of a Geisha and Shutter Island, he kinda disappears into roles.
I love him as Stottlemayer!
Levine was also in Heat, the first Fast and the Furious, the first Joy Ride and more recently in Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, he's such an underrated actor
Funny I justed started binge watching monk on netflix in the UK (which arrived today) I also remembered there was a reference to silence of the lamb in an episode of monk where he wore night vision goggles to catch the murderer just like in silence of the lambs (I think it was the blackout episode) I know there were other references but that one stuck out more
*”PUT THE FUCKING LOTION IN THE BASSKEET!!“* iconic 😂
🎶it puts the lotion on its skin OR ELSE it gets the HOSE again🎶
"I'm having an old friend for dinner" is so chilling yet so funny at the same time 🤣
It makes a lot of sense to go to a country where you stick out like a SORE THUMB in order to escape an evil killer.
"Jame Gumb, who's name sounds like they forgot to finish writing it..."
That kind of is the case. The novel explains that his mother intended to call him James but a clerical error cut the s off his first name.
She was drunk right?
@@ZombieBiohazardYes, she was.
One of my favorite overlooked moments is the scene just before Hannibal escapes, and he is drawing a portrait of Clarice holding a lamb.... And then his dinner is brought out to him, and it is lamb, rare.
This whole movie is amazing, but my god, that climactic sequence at Bill's house is TERRIFYING. The way he's trying not to giggle the entire time they're talking, the butterfly picture on the wall, Clarice quietly unfastening her gun holster...it's so damn good. And the night vision scene, jesus. There's a moment in the book during that scene where Bill is admiring how pretty her hair is and thinking to himself that even though she's too petite for him to use her skin, he thinks he'll keep her hair. Easily one of the most terrifying passages in a book ever.
Hannibal lecter: one of the most brutal but also the most polite horror movie villains ever

@@czzp77 ah I see, emphasis was on 'another film'. Gotcha, not trying to be annoying.
Ted Levine not being nominated for Best Supporting Actor was a crime. He’s absolutely incredible.

@@kevinkingsland1039 yesss I love him on monk he's a great actor
@@kevinkingsland1039Monk is the best! It took me like a year after watching to figure out they were the same actor.
Fun fact, my parents grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh and my mother’s best friend was Foster’s stand in during filming! It’s so exciting to see this on the kill count. Much love to James, Chelsea, Zoran, and the entire production team

Priceless
“Don’t you make me hurt your dog” is so weirdly satisfying to me like seeing her get under Buffalo Bill’s skin is great
The final sequence with Clarice and Buffalo Bill is one of the most terrifying I’ve ever seen in a film.
Okay, drama queen.
@@07foxmulderRunning your mouth online lol
@@buttnakedsnake9357 Wow. You’re, like, super perceptive!
@@07foxmulderpull up then punk
My address is 123 fake street
that scene is what sealed the deal for me. genuinely so scary and the movie does such a good job building up tension to it. All of a sudden a hour and half of being tense and lured in pays off in that horror house of a sequence
It drives me nuts that
1. People say the quote wrong. It's not 'Hello, Clarice', it's 'Good evening, Clarice'.
2. People insist Anthony Hopkins doesn't blink in the entire movie even though he clearly does. In fact most of the time, his blinks are very precise and methodical.
And nobody knows what the last line is. Everyone thinks it's either "I'm having an old friend for dinner" or "Dr. Lecter?" The actual last line is Chilton talking about the security system as he leaves the plane.
“Hello Clarice” sounds like a jigsaw audiotape 😂
Anthony Hopkins gets all the praise, and its deserved, but Jodie Fosters 'Clarice' is my favorite part of the film. I know she won an oscar too, but she gives an all-time great performance same as Hopkins. I think her character was equally impactful on film too. She walks that line perfectly of being vulnerable while remaining a strong detective.
“PUT THE FUCKING LOTION IN THE BASKET” gets me every time. I can’t help but to laugh every time I’m sorry 😂
Cartman saying that when he reenacts the scene in South Park lives rent free in my head, trust me.
Joe Dirt ruined it for me, instead of disgust I laugh every time
@@KillFriskeybebe’s boobs destroy society is a classic episode 😭
@@KillFriskey what episode was that again?? I forget 💯💯😂🤣
@@KillFriskeySAME😂😂😂😂
The night vision scene is one of the most tense scenes ever put to film. I've seen this movie over 100 times, and it still gets my heart racing every time. I'm very happy that Demme ended up directing this film -- it seems he had some truly amazing ideas.
Hot take: I think that Buffalo Bill should at least be considered for the Golden Chainsaw. The whole movie is about tracking him down, Clarice Starling finally gets to complete her arc and save the victim, the way it is shot with the night vison and blackout scenes still has me on the edge of my seat, and the way that Bill dies looks almost like a moth, with the goggles representing the eyes and the twitching reminding me of a dying butterfly. Although it's a gun kill, the setup and payoff are great, as well as having a lot of motivation to see this creep get taken down for good. What do y'all think?
The end scene when Clarice is in the dark and being stalked by Buffalo Bill is so thrilling and nerve-racking when you first watch the scene. it literally gave me an anxiety attack, an amazing movie
The silence is circling
Like lambs to the slaughter
The dance never ends
Riff city

Come in and savor
The CONSEQUENCE
Hello, Clarice, nothing’s free at this Meat And Greet

"I'm having an old friend for dinner" would never not creep me out and make me laugh at the same time.
This movie was a masterpiece. The oscar bit just proved it even more. Anthony Hopkins is a legend
Love the pfp
@@ArcadeN9 "The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference...in the world."
Of all the subtle clues Lector gives, the best is when he straight-up says he's off his medication.
That's a falsehood spread on the internet by people who don't know what they're talking about. Lecter would not have been prescribed MAOIs.
Or the one where he instantly tells Clarice where Buffalo Bill is.
You can really feel how excited James was to do a kill count for this one. Can’t blame him. Masterpiece.
Fun Fact: the Greenskeepers made a hilarious song called "Lotion" inspired by Buffalo Bill's iconic line. I know this because James keeps playing the song whenever he lowers the lotion down to me and I can't believe how good the WiFi is down here.
What's your plan for Molly?
Don't you hurt his dog!

I'm so glad Buffalo Bill turned his life around and became a Captain in the SFPD assisting fmr detective Monk
😂 I think there’s actually a scene in an episode of monk that’s meant to look like the night vision scene, it’s called “Mr. Monk and the Blackout” I think
22:51 thats a very subtle Alice in chains reference and i I love it
Yes! My favorite song as well!
Love that song
This is in my opinion, one of the top three movies of ALL TIME. It won the big five at the oscars, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Screenplay. Phenomenal work of art with amazingly complex characters and Jodie's portrayal of Clarice is something we will never see again - Clarice Starling is a very complex and relatable character who isn't overpowered, impossibly strong for her size- but rather an intelligent individual who is relentlessly embracing her femininity. Through her pure intentions and authenticity, Jodie's character became a symbol of divine power motivated by pure desires to save weaker individuals in her world. Despite the fact she will never be as physically strong as the men who tower over her, she preservers because she sees saving other innocent lives as a parallel to saving the lambs. The whole point Jodie was trying to make was that in the past, since women didn't have the strength or "heroism" that could compare to men, Hollywood often resorts to crafting lazy, unrealistic female heroines (i.e marvel women) who possess unfathomable qualities and don't come across as relatable at all. Besides this, often the only redeeming quality of women's characters in film is their attractiveness, or their relevance is limited to being as the love interest to their male costars. The Silence of the Lambs changed that when Clarice Starling appeared on screen. The producers took the time to flesh out Jodie's character, Clarice, thereby allowing this talented actress to portray an authentic female role who embodies the characteristics of someone motivated by a well-developed moral compass rather than such trivial, one-dimensional motifs (a relief for audiences). She is then juxtaposed against her male colleagues, almost all of whom are motivated purely by advancement rather than the cause itself.
The jokes in this were exquisite, but that "Pembry tastes bland, season him with pepper spray" was (mwah) chef's kiss.
The Alice In Chains "Down In a Hole" reference was unexpected, but welcomed.
Ed Geine wasn't a serial killer. He only has 1 confirmed kill. He was a graverobber.
Two confirmed kills, but yeah it takes at least 3 to be classified as a serial killer. He is suspected to have killed several more people, so that’s probably where the confusion comes from even though it was never proven

Watched the movie about a month ago and honestly had a blast, but didn't realize how perfect the film was when you pointed out how well shot the movie was, with Clarice being filmed in a claustrophobic manner. So well job you guys !!
8:23 is by far the funniest thing I've heard and that cut off was phenomenal
Tracy Walter's delivery of the "leaves and thangs" line is always a great reminder of how much I love his work.
Anthony Hopkins is actually a icon for the autism community, quite a lot of people outside of the community doesn't know Mr Hopkins is autistic. He is a huge influence proving to people that we autistics are capable of anything
He is just a great human.
I am a surgeon
My best friend is autistic, and so is my father. If I ever hear anyone say something diminishing the capabilities of autistic people, I cannot help but laugh because those two people alone have much more than neurotypicals could even dream of achieving. And I love that Anthony Hopkins is being a prominent representation for the community.
Thank you for letting me know this, it's very interesting.
I've just looked into that on his Wikipedia page, and also seen that - quite ironically for Hannibal the Cannibal - he's pescatarian

Better late than never.
I'm genuinely so happy for you!
22:58 I never knew James was an Alice In Chains fan but it was a happy surprise hearing him make this reference
Fun fact: due to this being filmed in Pittsburgh, my pap (who was a city officer) was actually in this movie, and was one of the cops at the elevator scene. He was also in a later scene that included all the officers.
"There's something about Miggsy"
JAMES NO YOU DID NOT 🤣🤣🤣
This is one of my favourite episodes so far, well done team!
the FBI’s website cites Silence of the Lambs as having inspired a generation of female agents to join.
which is rad
That is rad, thanks for sharing
Sir Integra Hellsing: "Over the last few years we've had some...expensive claims."
Alucard: "Like what?"
Integra: "Killing at least a dozen innocent people."
Alucard: "Oh, so did Anthony Hopkins and he got a f***ing Oscar for it!"
Is it weird that I see Alucard as besties with Hannibal Lecter?
”I’m not apologizing.”
"Property damage"
@nathankendrick6847 good times

Can we talk about how good the Hannibal Lecter impression was by James at the start of the video
Pretty sure that’s Zoran, but damn he can be creepy as hell

Hannibal - bringing a whole new meaning to the phrase 'having a friend for dinner' since '91
This movie drove me to major Psychology before I started my college experience, which I have a year left of. It holds a very special place in my heart! Seriously, Hopkins and Foster is the best duo! Thank you! 🖤❤️
Love the energy when you can tell James really loves the movies he's covering.
I thought you had missed on one of the biggest lines/memes ever, but 26:18 took away my fears 😂 James not going to risk having ashy skin for the kill count!
This (along with Cloverfield and Pan’s Labyrinth) was one of the movies that I had to watch for my Intro to Film class in my first year of University. Because this was in 2020, it was all over Zoom, so we had to watch the movies on our own time. During the class that we were discussing it, one of my classmates changed their Zoom background to be one of the shots of Hannibal standing in the corner of his cell, staring at the camera. It was really creepy, and eventually my professor noticed and had a laugh about it. Whoever did that was a genius, well played sir
You want to se creepy? Take a look at the pic of Anthony Hopkins holding his dummy Fats in the 1978 film Magic
21:08 (James): I require you to do a spittake for that joke
(Me): Consider it done 😂
my thoughts as a trans person:
1) i do disapprove of Buffalo Bill revealed to have a relationship with a man, it does not make the argument of a homophobic heterosexual to be plausible within the context
2) it would've made more sense to compare his crude makeover to other queer people who do it properly and to compare the hack job he's doing to his face
3) i adore that even a film from the 90s made the effort to say that trans people are not dangerous "transsexuals are passive"
The thing is, I don't know if it's ever confirmed about that relationship. The only one who says that is Hannibal, and he does so in a scene where he tells multiple other lies
He's partly based off Ed Gein who was obsessed with his mother not a "trans person" dummy.
Dead Meat's right about 1).
If pacing and the studio allowed for it you would've been correct about 2).
I agree with you on 3). because after watching films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective it's refreshing to hear that line from Silence of the Lambs.
Jodie Foster's acting in this film is brilliant, this film's a classic. Watched as a kid in television, nightmarish adventure. Anthony Hopkins in 24 minutes is in the scariest as the whole movie itself. Disturbing and realistic picture.
Hearing “Welcome to the Kill Count, Clarice!” And hearing my name so many times in a video, makes me feel like this Kill Count was specifically for me😂😂😂
This movie has been such a huge part of my life, even before I had actually seen it. Having the same name as the protagonist of a cult classic, just spelled slightly different, was something that sparked my horror movie interest from a young age. I knew the general idea of the film, but I was not old enough to watch it when the comments on my name first started. And when I finally was old enough, it was one of the first horror films I ever watched. Seeing this film triggered my love of the genre and I am forever grateful for it!!!
This movie is like one of my Tia's favorite movies ever. After she showed it to me my freaking life changed. Been asking for this to be covered for 4 years now and finally the moment has come. God, bless you James! God bless you! 🥲
Oh hell yes. This is one of my favorite movies. Reading the script while following the movie is actually very chilling.
Real wasted opportunity to have Zoran say "Hello, Janisse"
Kasi Lemons is a director; she is called Eve's Bayou. It's labeled as horror, but more Southern Gothic (to me at least, but do I know). You and the team should check it. I don't know if it's kill-count-worthy; only one person dies, but it's definitely podcast worthy.
Eve's Bayou is a interesting Southern Gothic movie just for the family dynamic alone.
I know right? What do you think happened? Who do believe, the daughter or dad? @laocean9677
Thank you for recognizing that Hannibal read poor Clarence for filth😂
You’re so right about how this film would be labeled woke if it was released today. ❄️ grifters would jump on it instantly.
The night vision scene has gotta be one of the scariest things I’ve ever seen
I ate his liver with some fava beans and a Nice Chianti " Forever iconic from Dr Hannibal Lecter VIII
James calling Hannibal a mean gay is so funny with the context of the show
6:13 that censor caught me off guard laughing lol
Apparently Scott Glenn was very anti death penalty, but in researching his role he watched videos taken by a pair of serial killers. They tortured, raped, and murdered teen girls and recorded it all. Glenn changed his mind about the death penalty after that.
It must've been the videos made by Charles Ng and Leonard Lake.
@@IWantToPetYourDogNah, sounds more like the toolbox killers; Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris.
Audio tapes, not video.
I thought JD having the cast and crew read the pamphlets rather than disregard their concerns and gripes with the film is so indicative of what kind of person he was. He was open the criticism from the group he’d inadvertently hurt. Most people would get defensive and refuse to acknowledge it.
18:28 at least he tries to compliment people 😂😂
it’s interesting how they still made hannibal seem polite and even charming even though he’s just as much of a monster as buffalo bill
It’s one aspect that makes Psychopaths so terrifying that they keep you off guard and unsuspecting with charm and wit
14:34 - We Hate Movies reference! I love that my favorite podcast and UA-cam channel have are friends
So glad you covered this James!! 👍This film is amazing in so many ways. My favorite scene is where Lecter explains how "we covet what we see everyday" and giving the additional insight to Buffalo Bill's psyche. A great display of Lecter's terrifying intelligence.
