Hannibal the Cannibal

So I've recently go hold of my own wifi access (about time!) so I can freely go about the 'inter webs' without the school's horrible filter, but only at an agonizingly slow pace. I swear every site needs four minutes to load- two, if it's in a good mood.

But yea... Whilst I was online, I came across a new TV show that I'm now dying to watch back in HK: Hannibal.

Will Graham from Hannibal

It's based on Thomas Harris' Red Dragon, hence the story is before the movie The Silence of the Lambs - as it was in the books. I saw a few trailers and I'm loving the artsy feel that resonates BBC's Sherlock style but with the under layer of horror. I know it'll be gory but that's I like about the show. It has gore but not to a certain extent it turns cheesy and full of crap. Plus, it really plays well with the fact the viewers are aware of Hannibal's cannibalism and so plays with us on whether he has eaten someone or not. It throws in subtle suggestions yet never fully reveals it all. The real horror lies in the fact Hannibal can hide his secret so well even we don't know what he intends to do. Aww... I'm getting filled with squee and pancaking again.

'till then!

EDIT: oh carp I forgot about going through my use of 'pancake'. :S whoops. that'll have to be next time then!
