I'm rewatching Hannibal s1, and spotted in 1x07 that the opera singer's performance, the one that makes Hannibal begin his feasts again, is 'The Concert for Hunger Relief' (!)

THOSE JOKERS

I love this concert especially because a precious, thoughtful Fannibal won some programs from that shoot in the prop auction and sent me one ❤️🔪❤️

Can I recommend you a fanfiction? Star Trek DS9 (one of the fics you mentioned wanting to read in your imaginary fic list) - The Viewless Winds by StoplightDelight on Ao3. It's a brutally and wonderfully written detailing of Julian's month in the dominion prison camp. It's not complete yet, but it updates frequently and already is a monster in length. Amazing characterization and honestly everything I could ever want out of a fic about this is there (including the Julian/Martok brotp)

Oh my god wait a hyper-specific DS9 fanfic I wanted Exists and is Over 300,000 Words Long ??! WHAT

Listen I had still never read any Star Trek fic but that’s changing because holy heck this is exactly what I requested!! Thank you!! I’m only one chapter in but I am understanding why it would be so long because this is extraordinarily detailed in a way I never have the nerve to write myself but which I love and is so perfect for Julian Bashir! 

Wow this is sure not going to teach me to actually try to rustle up Star Trek fic myself because APPARENTLY I can just put my wishes out there and eventually an anonymous benefactor will steer me straight to them, wild.

Bo Welch is the main designer of ASOUE. He also designed Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice, and Batman Returns so that's why it looks very early Burton. The Pushing Daisies part comes from ASOUE's head showrunner Barry Sonnenfeld, who executive produced PD and directed the first few eps of its first season, setting up that show's visual style. The two shows share his signature "fast and flat" line delivery style too. The combination of Burton and PD's visuals makes ASOUE very unique.

Anonymous said: Daniel Handler wrote the Ersatz Elevator episodes! And he’s writing the Slippery Slope episodes next season! I’m so happy when the original creator self-adapts their work and also supervises the scripts they didn’t write

Ahhh thank you peeps sending me these great great creator stats I am LOVING this!!! Do you know who’s names I did not know but now I do? Bo Welch and Barry Sonnenfeld! My new good guys! Daniel Handler is also doing a flat out *exemplary* job adapting his own work, willingly and excitedly juggling things around and dropping what’s not gonna work on on screen and seamlessly weaving in new bits to take their place, all in harmony with a creative team he clearly trusts to bring their own takes to the table. Because listen having the original author in a producing role can definitely…..go another way….

GOOD WORK, TEAM

thank you! wow tho I feel like I may have actually been living under a rock now lol.

OH gosh no don’t mind me, it’s always a crapshoot whether I’ve accurately gauged what is *actually* widely known about entertainment, because I’m One Of Those who finds the whole business of TV and movies endlessly fascinating and so am out there scrolling industry headlines saying shit like “ooo Olivia Coleman’s gonna run in Best Actress, which means they’re gonna hope for both Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone in Supporting, and they might get it….” while my friends are like “…cool”

what is killing eve about? I never hear/see anything for that show unless on tumblr?

Wow that is interesting, because that show got mad popular during its run! Notably it gained viewers steadily each week, lots of them, which is practically unheard of these days and people in the industry were sure sitting up and taking notice! I literally just googled “Killing Eve gaining viewers” and the entire first page was all different news articles on this, but here’s the general idea.

Piling up more viewers like that always owes a lot to word-of-mouth, which was clearly STRONG. Which is likely because this show is FUN. It’s a classic cat-and-mouse spy thriller with a whimsically brutal flirty assassin being chased by a relatable™ yet brilliant (& obsessed) detective, developed by Phoebe Waller-Bridge and starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer. People were excited because rarely are TV shows of this genre created by a woman with women in the title roles, and then they were excited that it was actually really stylish and gay and good! Killing Eve ended up a huge hit for BBC America, something like their most popular streaming series ever, and was nominated for two Emmys, writing and an acting nod for Sandra Oh.

Basically yeah it’s great you should check it out if you like this kind of thing!

13 & 20 for the movie questions?

13: Name a movie adaptation you thought was better than or equal to its source material.

Easy: by my lights there are few finer film adaptations, and hardly any from a finer novel, than Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. 

20: What genre mash-up would you most love to see that either hasn’t been done yet or hasn’t been done enough?

X-Men Heist Movie. Everyone still has their usual powers but the stakes are just Coordinating Our Talents To Try And Steal Something. Magneto is the Benedict and also the Tess.

Fair enough! 'Bodyguard' pitch: a hero cop is assigned as a bodyguard for a government minister. The catch is: he might try to assassinate her. She's manipulating him to further her own ends. They're both opaque, manipulative, multi-layered characters and I literally can't guess, at any given moment, what they're going to do to each other. Richard Madden is beautiful/terrifying, and they've crammed half a season's plot into 2 eps so far- in a good (amazing) way. So. A rec.

See this is great thank you now I know that….well sorry, that I’m not interested in this show at all! But it is still always nice to be thought of :)
