Thank you! I just finished watching all of the Hannibal movies in a row and it was an interesting experiment, to say the least. If you undertake the same mission, let me know what you think!<br /><br />Le0pard13: I'm curious to see what you have up your sleeve, my friend! I'm glad you enjoyed the piece, and you've piqued my curiosity...<br /><br />SteveW: Pauline Kael was a great critic...but she could be cruel! :) <br /><br />I like Ray Liotta a lot. He's forever in my good graces because of his performance in Good Fellas (1990).

There were those before <i>Hannibal Lecter</i>, and what came after. Your popular culture perspective is spot-on, as always. This time, I think you're psychic, my friend.
