None of the above! (I try not to obsess much.) 24 (18.8%)
My friends gave me the nickname 'Vannibal' a couple of years ago (combination of my name, Vanessa, and Hannibal/cannibal) after I became totally obsessed with the books/movies ... and it stuck.
(also fava beans aren't as delicious as I had hoped they would be, alas)
Still need to try Amarone.
Well, I co-own one, at least. At least I think I do. I was part of
As for the soundtrack inquiry -- that was a great one. For some reason, none of the films, aside from Hannibal, music score really stand out. I mean, they work perfectly for the film and all, but not something I'd listen to seperate from it.
Hannibal's, however, oh that one is just awesome. Did they remix/reuse some of the Goldberg Variations for it..? I really don't know, but I just love it. Haunting-soft-creepy-relaxing.
The only thing that bothers me about the Hannibal soundtrack is that they use Anthony Hopkins' voice in a few of the tracks. I think it should've been strictly music-only, but maybe that's just me. I tried unwinding to the soundtrack several times before bed, but once he started to speak, I'd be fully alert again.
I love the soundtrack questions too
Hannibal the film was so underrated, and it bothers me, because I thought it was absolutely visually stunning- it really captured the essence of Hannibal's ideality.
Best scene of the film though, for me, is Hannibal's curator scene, in which he gives a speech about hanging. The way the music plays so well into that, and his speech itself... ah, just so much love. Movie takes a nosedive after that, unfortunately. The way he just strolls right into the hospital and steals his tools disturbs me somehow. Not sure if its the way he looks, or the way it was shot.
I'd seen the movie on the shelf at the video store for years, but never bothered to look at the back. I adore Brian Cox, so I'm interested to go back and rent it to see how well he did. ^___^

I confess I am totally in love with Gaspard Ulliel. O_O
Brian Cox delivered a different style of Lecter than what Anthony Hopkins portrayed. Personally, I couldn't stand the movie, so I have trouble rating how well Cox did.
