I think that it’s too late to try to redeem yourself with this.
Are you kidding?? The movie sucked dogs. The book was good; the ending wasn’t ‘someone…Europe.’ It was Barney recognizing them in Rio de Janeiro. Or, Buenos Aires, I can’t remember. At any rate, that was a denouement of the relationship of the three of them, and of Lecter and Clarice, which extended through 2 movies and 2 books.
Lecter was an ally of Starling, and, as such, cannot easily be discounted as being in the good guy camp.
I’m not trying to redeem my set.
No; I’m afraid that’s not how it works: you make your slurs in public - and please, please, don’t try the inevitable tired “but I was just joking, ha ha” line - you get called on them in public, hijack be damned.
You called me out. I agreed to stop doing it. I’m not gonna hijack this thread further. Pit me if you want.

Let’s stop the hijack on Skald’s insults and attitude. He has already agreed to stop those particular jokes and discussing it in this thread is a hijack. Take it to the Pit if you need to. Report his posts if he continues.
No Warning Issued
It is somewhat disturbing that Anthony Hopkins said that he red a few of Lecter’s lines and had the character downpat. 
I know.
Mine was a joke. Didn’t you read the whole post??? Sheesh!
{“With this” being the operative phrase.}
Thank you, Friedrich Nietzsche. :mad:
Regardless if it was a joke or not it was being responded to as if it was not and continuing the hijack. I asked everyone to stop discussing it, which includes jokes.
Did anyone hear read or see Hannibal Rising, incidentally? I started it but put it down quickly. I’ve always wondered what, if anything, I was missing.
I read it, and it was goofy. I don’t know if in this case Harris did it for the money or if it is a serious effort. The movies are surely unable to follow the books now, save for those that happened earlier thine.
an the story l
It’s called being an actor. 
Pardon me? Please explain.
He didn’t have to read all the script, or the book.
:dubious:
In * Outlines of History, * Nietzsche was quoted as saying, “It is mere petty sentiment to expect much (indeed anything at all) from mankind if it forgets how to make war.”
I’ll agree that Lecter’s entertaining, but I still don’t cheer for him. It’s like Loki in the Avengers: I’ll cheer for whomever finally stomps that fucker like a Smurf.
And that has what to do with villains in a fictional setting? You’ve never heard of the phrase, “someone you love to hate?”
Can you please be more specific, dude? (Anyone else know what the fuck he’s talking about?)
Pretty much what you said, there are always bad boys.
