The Lecter Trilogy: Red Dragon, Silence and Hannibal

The Red Dragon is doing very well at the boxoffice right now, I haven't seen it yet, but it would probably go very well with a nice chianti! I did enjoy Silence of the Lambs very much but had to stop half way through Hannibal--just too gory and sick for my tastes. What are your thoughts? Have you seen The Red Dragon yet? Was I missing something by not finishing Hannibal? Did you like Silence as much as I did? Or not? The true human being is the meaning of the universe. He is a dancing star. He is the exploding singularity with infinite possibilities. Edited by: danlo60 at: 10/14/02 8:44:27 pm

I greatly enjoyed Silence o' the Lambs (book & movie) Haven't seen Red Dragon yet but want to! Loved the book and liked the movie made in the 80's based on it.(Manhunter) I read Hannibal (sucked) saw Hannibal (SUCKED) IMHO

Well then I prob didn't miss much in Hannibal--I really couldn't stand 2 look at the millionaire's face (or what was left of it) any longer--I didn't watch the movie 4 Hannibal, per se, have MAJOR crush on Julianne Moore. She did an admirable job w/the the material she had 2 work w/but it just wasn't the same w/o Jodie (who was GREAT in Panic Room--just watched that!). And meeting up w/Hannibal so fast took alot of the mystery o/o it 4 me. The true human being is the meaning of the universe. He is a dancing star.

I just noticed this topic.

I love the books Red Dragon and Silence of the Lambs, though both were a bit gory for my tastes.

Hannibal Lector is one frightening dude~

Never saw the movies based on them, as I was afraid they would be waaaaay to gory for me.

Have not read or seen Hannibal ~ I heard both stank.

Isn't there a new book in this series out as well?

Seems to me I saw it somewhere...

I didn't have a problem with Hannibal, the book at least. Or not much. Gets a bit weird and all, but thats about the worst of it. We certainly get to see more of Lecter than ever before.

I did, eventually finish Hannibal (the movie) and enjoyed the ending (Julianne not only totally hot but a very good job on the whole)--the execution in Italy (Venice? was it?) was particually gruesome...
