***For the record, I am probably the only person out there that did not like "Silence of the Lambs".No, you are not. That makes it two of us?
***But, the new movie is directed by Ridley Scott (who is Aces in my book)I guess here we part our ways... oh well...
Follow Ups:
Three. I didn't like SOTL either.
I think highly of Alien, Bladerunner, even Gladiator.Ah well, no one is perfect...
I actually think that Scott *used* to be a better director. Don't get me wrong, I did like Hannibal (in this thread, obviously not a popular thing). However, that said, I think Scott seems to be rushing through some movies. I for one did not think much of Gladiator.In the past he did some real knockouts, the most memorable for me being Alien and Legend.

In the past he did some real knockouts, the most memorable for me being Alien and Legend.How about Blade Runner? Wonderful movie, I thought.
I haven't seen 'Hannibal' (and I probably won't), but I'm still going to offer my two cents here, even though I'm only guessing. If 'Hannibal' is a bad movie, one of the problems may be that it was made from a lousy book. Even while I was reading it, it struck me that Harris may not have wanted to write the book at all. And at the end, I felt that Harris had nothing but contempt for his publisher and his readers. For reference, though, I should say that I liked both 'Red Dragon' and 'Silence Of The Lambs' (the books, that is -- I didn't like the movie made from 'Red Dragon').
I don't think Hannibal is bad at all -- I quite liked it. However, I *can* see why others might not feel like me.Doug Schneider
