I did. He's a big fan. Hence the big Wolfman eyebrows in Sin City.

Yes and no. As we've seen time and again, being a huge fan of the source material often leads to "my own vision" type of crap. I'm hoping that's not the case.
looks like a good movie!

7 new clips from film. Cautiously optimistic. (That means I only crapped my pants a little instead of a full blown diarrhea attack.

Movie looks really good. If Hot Toys gets the rights I can't wait to see what they could do with it...

I was lucky enough to snag two tickets to an earlier screening on February 9th (after much question asking, begging and apparently making an ass of myself.) Since my busy school/work schedule won't allow me to do a midnight, Friday or even Saturday show without dying of exhaustion, I feel extremely fortunate and grateful. This film is really my personal movie event of the year (as well as being the only one I really want to see, besides maybe IRON MAN 2,) and the huge monster fan in me just couldn't wait!
Here's a cool Anthony Hopkins featurette. It's a bit spoiler-ish with stuff not seen in the trailers. And Hopkins rocks.
Of course Hopkins rocks! He played Hannibal the freaking cannibal Lecter. AND Van Helsing!

Hopkins is without a doubt a terrific actor, but he totally butchered the Lecter role. His version was the typical Hollywood caricature of a psychopath. Brian Cox, who played the original Hannibal in Manhunter [a great movie!], wasn't as flashy, but his performance was dead on accurate.

I guess that's why he won the Oscar for the role and Hopkins didn't.
I got to go with Nam on this. I just recently read the book and Hopkins was perfect. I actually find the movie to be better than the book. Really strange as that is hardly ever the case.
But Hopkins is amazing. I mean Hannibal isn't anything remotely like Van Helsing and yet he was excellent as both. He can play the wise old mentor or creepy bad guy just as well.

Since when did character accuracy become important in Hollywood. I must have missed that memo. But you might be onto something, I'm sure the Oscar voters all studied psychotic behavioral patterns in advance of giving Hopkins his Oscar.

I thought Hopkins was great as Lecter too, until my wife and I went to her workplace Christmas party many years ago. We got onto subject of Lecter and my wife and her friends were beside themselves laughing so hard. They actually found Hopkins performance embarrassing. That in itself might not mean much, but my wife is a RN in a psych hospital and has been for almost 25 years. She spent many of those years working in the Forensic Unit and that's where they put the "real" psychopaths and sociopaths. According to my wife and her friends Brian Cox performance was flawless, his behavior/mannerisms were exactly like the real thing.

So how many of those "psychopaths" were sophisticated, super intellects? Remember, Lecter is just as dangerous with what he can do mentally, as well as physically. He's an aristocrat who enjoys the finer things in life and being a world-class psychiatrist can afford them but just happens to eat flesh as well. Seems like you're trying to drag Lecter down to the level of a stereotypical nutjob like Richard Ramirez, David Bercowitz or more appropriately Richard Chase (the Dracula Killer) and in doing so, fail in the comparison.
