Red Dragon posting :)
So I was rewatching the Red Dragon episodes of Hannibal S3 because they're my favorites. Thomas Harris' novel Red Dragon is one of my Thrillers of All Time; I read it in the right place at the right time and the rest is history. Naturally I had to follow that up with the Hannibal episodes (watched for the first time over lockdown) and Manhunter my beloved a few years later.
Revisiting Hannibal S3 E8 "The Great Red Dragon" makes me realize just how important adaptational changes are when it comes to establishing the general tone/vibes of the piece. In Manhunter, Michael Mann follows Harris and gives us Will and family in Florida, where he's far, far away from Hannibal, Jack Crawford, and the FBI. It's Florida, so it's sunny, and what's more, it makes you think of retirement and escapism. (Of course, I lived in Florida for three years and can tell you otherwise, but I'm just going with the common associations with the state.) The climate is ideal, and the biggest stressor on Will's mind is making sure he can help his son get some baby turtles to the ocean once they hatch – all in all, a pretty stress-free life. When Jack shows up with news of Dolarhyde, the two of them sit on the beach and discuss current events, and there's this sense of "Well, shit. Vacation's over." Time to head into the dark.
In NBC Hannibal, on the other hand, Jack visits Will in the dead of winter, at his home in Virginia. They sit outside on Will's porch in the snow and the cold because Will refuses to let Jack into his house (the domestic sphere which he's worked hard to build and maintain.) In both cases, as is the case in the OG novel, Jack intrudes upon Will's peaceful life. However, this scene taking place during an East Coast winter as opposed to a Florida spring/summer makes everything feel a lot more ominous, but also a lot more... I don't know, inevitable? The cold and the dark are already here, and things are about to get a whole lot darker as Will separates from his loved ones and reconnects with Hannibal.

Dear Gus & Magnus,
We shot a promotional Summit video today with the rest of the Comm Team. Usually when I write scripts, most of the characters are interchangeable because I don't know who will actually say the lines, but I like writing for our team because I know who they are and what they would say in certain situations. It's fun to watch my ideas play out.
Dad.
Little Rock, Arkansas. 7.7.2023 - 2.51pm.

X2: X-Men United (2003)
There have been A LOT superhero movies since the genre really blew up in 2000 with X-Men. The fact that X2: X-Men United remains one of the best means a lot. There aren’t many sequels which top their predecessors but this is one of them. Full of great character moments with the characters we've come to love and with plenty of contestants for new favorites, it’s got action, suspense and many reasons to come revisit it over and over again.
After Nightcrawler (Alan Cumming) - a teleporting, blue-skinned mutant - attempts to assassinate the U.S. President (Cotter Smith), he allows William Stryker (Brian Cox) to shut down Charles Xavier’s school for mutants. Actually, Stryker's goal isn't merely to capture the mutants; he wants Professor X (Patrick Stewart) and his mutant tracking computer, Cerebro. With their leader gone and the students on the run, the X-Men have no choice but to turn to Magneto (Ian McKellen) for help.
When we met Wolverine (Hugh Jackman), the film took us for a loop by revealing that the most important mutant at Xavier's school was Rogue (Anna Paquin), not him. This twist made us even more eager to learn about Logan’s past. Was his adamantium-laced skeleton and those mechanical retractable claws (the series hadn’t yet retconned these to be a natural part of his mutation) some kind of ultimate weapon program gone wrong? Something forced upon our amnesiac hero? The answer comes in the form of the mutant-hating Stryker, a great baddie that poses an extreme threat because he’s smart and ruthless. There are some deliciously gross and squishy moments waiting for you as you piece together the lengths he’ll go to. It gives me the willies thinking about what he did to his mutant son - almost as much as learning what his son did to his mother.
There are many scenes to make your skin crawl. Magneto’s escape from his plastic prison (a favourite moment of mine), the final battle between Wolverine and Lady Death Strike (Kelly Hu), Stryker’s domination of Magneto…. you probably didn't expect those fom an action superhero film. Neither did you foresee the emotional blows. Bobby “Iceman” Drake (Shawn Ashmore) betrayed by his brother, the children being taken away by Stryker’s forces in the middle of the night, Mystique (Rebecca Romijn-Stamos) teasing Wolverine with her shapeshifting powers, Jean Grey (Famke Janssen) sacrificing herself... There’s a lot going on. A lot to love.
It’s hard to pick a favourite thing about this follow-up. You suddenly find yourself routing for the mutant terrorist Magneto because we’ve been given an even bigger, more sinister foe for our heroes. That’s no small feat. X2 is a confident picture with a lot of balls in the air and director Brian Singer (who’s fallen out of favour today but was a wizard behind the camera) keeps them all afloat, all perfectly distanced to keep the balance and the excitement flowing smoothly.
What’s there NOT to like in X2? It builds on the success of the first in so many meaningful ways. You see the younger X-Men grow into adults, the love triangle between Jean, Wolverine and Scott “Cyclops” Summers (James Marsden) get even more tangled, heroes like Storm (Halle Berry) in a whole new light and villains suddenly become heroes. This film gives you a lot to digest, making it a superhero adventure you eagerly return to over and over. (On Blu-ray, May 19, 2019)

Muni Long - "Made For Me"
Nothing like longtime songwriters with initial dreams of being singers in the forefront positioning themselves from behind the writer's table to the stage. I've followed Priscilla's journey since her covers of songs like Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" and the Fergie "Glamorous" Dictionary tune days (before DMCA notices) when Youtube first launched.
"Made For Me" is what I call a loop record, meaning it makes the listener want to keep it on repeat. Priscilla's explored different sounds in the past, like country, before she reinvented herself as Muni. This song gives me that merger. It's a tender, classic R&B ballad that invites a soft yodel effect in the chorus while marrying ballad keys with a simple percussive arrangement that got that knock. Can't go wrong with a JD and Bryan Michael Cox production 🤷🏽♀️. Feels refreshing for this era, but also nostalgic enough to easily fit amongst songs from the early 2000s. The best of both worlds.
If this is the direction of Muni's new album. Man.... The choir rendition she performed on the Soul Train Awards (that I've played daily since then lol) better be on it as a bonus track. Just luscious and takes it to another level.

SAG-AFTRA Warns ‘Acting Profession’ May ‘No Longer Be an Option’ Without ‘Transformative Change’ in Contract
"
SAG-AFTRA held an informational meeting for more than 760 people over Zoom on Monday afternoon.
Among those who signed on were actors Lupita Nyong’o, Vanessa Kirby, Melissa McCarthy, Vanessa Hudgens, Lucy Liu, Laverne Cox, Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Jon Huertas and Josh Pence, according to a source.
CAA’s Bryan Lourd, Faith France and Ryan Abboushi also attended, as did UTA’s Jay Gassner and Shani Rosenzweig and Houston Costa and Kris Heller of IAG. Publicists included Mara Buxbaum, Jill Fritzo, Luke Windsor, Brianna Smith and Cheryl Maisel.
The meeting was led by SAG-AFTRA national executive director and chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland. The guild shared a one-sheet of talking points for participants. Among the bulleted items on revenue sharing, health care and retirement, online casting platforms and artificial intelligence, the memo states, “Without a transformative change in SAG-AFTRA’s current contract with the AMPTP, the acting profession will no longer be an option for future generations of performers, and actors already working in the industry will need to pursue other careers in order to survive.”
Crabtree-Ireland read questions from participants in the chat, including one asking if SAG-AFTRA members should “unsubscribe” to struck streaming services. While there is no rule regarding subscriptions, Crabtree-Ireland said that leaving a streamer is one way of showing support of the strike, a source tells Variety.
There are two more similar Zoom meetings set for Tuesday, July 18.
As Variety’s Gene Maddaus reported on July 15, the biggest sticking points for SAG-AFTRA and the major studios is the union’s demand for 2% of the revenue generated by streaming shows. The two sides also remain far apart on basic increases in minimum rates, with the studios offering 5%, 4% and 3.5% across the three years of the contract, while the union is demanding 11%, 4% and 4%."

I just watched Manhunter – the 1986 Michael Mann adaptation of Thomas Harris’ infamous novel Red Dragon – and I have some THOUGHTS that I cooked up in the shower because this could not be more different from Bryan Fuller’s Hannibal, and that’s not a bad thing at all!
A little bit of context so I can explain where I’m coming from: back in late 2019 I was studying abroad in the UK and our professors took us to a Blake exhibition in London. As a writer, socialist, and avid horror fan, I was floored. I got really overwhelmed in there and spent the next couple days decompressing before I started digging into his work in earnest, as well as works revolving around his art. I bought a copy of Red Dragon not long after that trip and worked my way through it when I had free time. I also started working on a paper for class about Blake’s influence in my favorite movie, Blade Runner, which meant I was deep-diving into noir as well as this trippy artwork – lots of anticapitalist rhetoric, lots of body horror, lots of monsters. Sooooo many monsters.
The pandemic hit, we all were sent home, and I watched a lot of crime shows – Twin Peaks, Mindhunter, and Hannibal were the main ones. I was really excited to get to the Red Dragon storyline in Season Three and I was not disappointed. By that point in the show, Hannibal had turned from a police procedural with supernatural undertones to a full blown queer Gothic romance. That also includes the Dolarhyde/Reba storyline, even if it didn’t last.
Dolarhyde got a lot of attention in the show – more than I was expecting, honestly. Richard Armitage did SUCH a wonderful job portraying that character, it’s incredibly nuanced and sympathetic. Our first moments with Dolarhyde are where he’s working out, practicing his speech, and getting his infamous back tattoo of the Dragon. There is a lot of attention paid to his body, and his discomfort in his body. I’m half-joking, but the trans vibes are strong with this one: “Becoming” might as well be referring to transitioning, albeit into a giant monster (whatever floats your boat!). As an out-and-proud director making an out-and-proud show, it makes sense that Fuller is focusing on the queer elements of the Red Dragon – the coding was always there, but now he’s really bringing it front and center via Dolarhyde’s physicality/body language.
I was kind of surprised, then, that Dolarhyde was not as prominent in Manhunter. There was hardly any discussion of the Red Dragon artwork at all, which was also surprising – is it because it was too fantastical for a director who deals with grounded, gritty crime? Compared to the NBC show, this Red Dragon was kind of one-note, which was a shame. He’s the bad guy, after all. He’s the guy Will is supposed to catch. But then I remembered: Dolarhyde is this movie’s Waingro. He’s the destabilizing element. I’m not an expert in Michael Mann, but I know he’s very into the stability of the family unit (shout out to good dad Will Graham!) and Dolarhyde specifically targets stable families – this was already in the Harris novel, he didn’t have to make that up to fit his thematic interests. Dolarhyde only matters because he serves as a threat to our hero and his values.
This version of Will Graham is surprisingly grounded, privately tortured, and full of resolve and dedication. We see that he’s got a history with Hannibal – there are definitely some queer moments here (there are a surprising number of 80s love songs in the soundtrack, hmm wonder what that’s about), and it’s a bummer we don’t get much of Cox’s Lecter because he is delightfully funny. Still, I don’t see this Will succumbing to his inner darkness anytime soon; he’s got a very good relationship with his wife and son (Vincent Hanna, take notes.) He is very much a Michael Mann Protagonist, even if he comes from another writer’s mind. In contrast, Bryan Fuller’s Will comes across as a Gothic hero(ine) in that his sensitivities are always highlighted, he looks like he needs to be taken to the seaside for his health, and he can’t seem to shake his demons (Hannibal is, after all, difficult to avoid.)
In any case, both adaptations are valid and it’s kinda comparing apples to oranges. Manhunter leans way more noir, Fuller’s Hannibal is Gothic all the way. I am definitely going to be rewatching Manhunter to pick apart some of the queer coding & subtext hehe
