Hannibal 1x08: "Fromage"

[cleolinda]

To begin: The problem with "I just really want to be your friend," the kind of philosophical rambling you have come to expect from Cleolinda Industries; I am officially threatening NBC with my wrath. Also, here's some fan street art that turned out really, really well.

Also, yes. Korea is very, very excited about this show.

I imagine Hannibal was a little annoyed he killed TWO Incredibly Rude Persons and was not able to eat either of them. "Well I suppose I shall have to call the police and they will probably notice any missing parts. *sigh* and I had the perfect Beef Bourginon recipe pulled up and everything."

Speaking of, this show is odd to watch as someone who graduated from a culinary school based on the classical French style, which seems to be Hannibal's preferred cooking style. It's making me miss all the fancy stuff I don't get much opportunity to do in the real world but also...people. One half of my brain goes "ooh, en papillote," while the other half yells "IT'S PEOPLE STOP BEING INTRIGUED."

Oh and thanks for the mention, of course!

Also I get the impression Will sleeps in his living room? Hence the working on motors in the same room as his bed. I vaguely recall Hannibal nosing through a dresser of clothes in the living room after feeding the dogs that one time.

[cleolinda]

I keep trying to figure out how his house is laid out--it's almost like it's the same room, but they show one side of it in any given scene and so it sometimes looks like two. Because otherwise, that dresser's in the front room and that struck me as a little odd at the time. (This is one of those things that only bothers me because I end up flailing around in the recap like, I DON'T KNOW WHERE IN SPACETIME WE ARE. If I didn't have to describe everything, I don't know that I'd really think about it.)

[it_grrl]

I think it is just weird editing/blocking/camera angles; though part of me likes the idea of Will occupying the living room and letting the dogs have the whole upstairs to themselves. And since I doubt he entertains guests, I don't think he's worried about not having a social space in his home.

Having gotten my hands on [whatever]euf, this is the impression I get as well. The last three shots are an establishing shot of Will's house with just the ground floor light on (and then going off), All The Dogs in their beds in front of the fire, and Will in his bed. The single light implies to me that he's still downstairs when he goes to bed, and the chunk of furniture at the bottom of the All The Dogs shot appears to be the corner of the bed.

... I just realized that this means that, effectively, Hannibal Lecter was creeping around this guy's bedroom.

can't sleep

cannibal will eat me

[tabbyclaw]

*salutes* Always happy to make it slightly more horrible!

[rasmusb]

Also makes him sleepwalking onto his own roof more ... um ... athletic? I wonder what he thought the stairs were?

I had assumed he'd rolled out of bed & walked out his window, not got up, dodged dogs, went up stairs, found window, opened window & left the building. Oo

[cleolinda]

Actually... now that you mention it, yeah, I think that's why I'd assumed his bedroom was a separate room. Man, I'm even more impressed with the dogs now. "WHERE IS THE FOODBRINGER GOING?"

[tabbyclaw]

More athletic, and more worrying. Wake up on the edge of the roof outside the same story you went to sleep on, you can assume that your sleepbrain just forgot the difference between doors and windows. Wake up on the edge of a roof that you had to ascend stairs to get to, and you have to wonder if your sleepbrain is deliberately trying to throw itself off a high ledge.

Incredibly Rude Persons heeeee awesome. I'm sure that annoyance will come later- at the moment I think he's just happy (if he can ever be truly happy) Will survived.
