Cheese folk... I'm sure we've all felt like Franklyn at one point in our life or another, chasing after a friendship that simply isn't going to happen.

Dan on #ETWW2 convention in Paris said this:

- he does not think fantastic beasts is over. he thinks the fb franchise will have a life later one. for him the fourth and fifth movies are going to be huge and show the war and all its implications. there's going to have a big time jump so the waiting actually makes sense.

from here

Can we believe him? 🤔

Oh, and he's adorable on this convention ❤️

Rewatching Hannibal for the weekends and after six years did I just realize that Jacob Kowalski and Franklyn Froideveaux are played by the same actor (Dan Folger)?!

In both universe he gets his ass handed by this man as Hannibal Lecter and Gellert Grindelwald (Mads Mikkelsen)!!! Thankfully still alive in the latter one but still!!

I wonder how the reunion went with that one.

TW 70s era use of the word "queer"

Neil Hargrove doing a very working-class thing by volun-telling Billy that he will be spending his summer as a 14-year-old doing hard manual labor on a job site with some random ass uncle he didn't even know he had until one morning over dry Cheerios.

Neil drops him off at Uncle Matt's in Anaheim with a backpack and a duffel bag. See ya in September. "Don't cause your uncle any trouble," he warned with a thick grip on the shoulder before he took off for the interstate.

Billy stared at the man with hard eyes, his arms crossed in defiance. "You're not my real Uncle..."

The man chortled, ash sprinkling from the thick cigar chomped in his teeth. "Ya think so, tough guy?" He chuckled some more, waving for Billy to come inside.

Uncle Matt was a large man, as wide as he was tall. The furniture groaned when he sat down, casually kicking off his work boots and shrugging out of his suspenders as he picked up the can of beer from the side table.

"So Willy..." "It's Billy." Uncle Matt gave him a toothy grin. "Billy," he corrected, "Ya ever work a day in yer life?"

Billy sat on the corner of the couch, as the man took a long sip from his Coors. "Kinda. I mow lawns n' stuff."

Matt chuckled, "Ya ain't gonna be mowing no fucking lawns here! This is gonna be hardass work kid. Best get some sleep now..."

Billy rolled his eyes and headed off to the bedroom he was given.

After the first month, Billy and Uncle Matt fell into a routine. Matt's wind-up alarm clock was grating and shrill enough to wake Billy before Matt got two extra snores in at sunrise. The pair shared toast, eggs, and Folger's instant before heading out to the job site.

Billy's hands had gotten rough and calloused. Blistered and scabbed over more times than he could count.

"Hey Billy!" Matt called out over the ending shift horn. Billy slung the hammer in his grip onto the loop of his jeans and began climbing down the ladder. "Yah?"

"We're gonna have some company over tonight for dinner. My bookkeeper, Dan. So play nice." Billy smiled wryly. "I always play nice."

Things seemed a bit odd when dinnertime began rolling around. Uncle Matt was combing and carefully parting his hair in the mirror and was that the stench of aftershave on his beard?

Also for the first time in his life, Billy discovered what a tablecloth looked like as Matt carefully smoothed it across the dining room table. Billy crinkled his nose in suspicion, "Dan's a woman."

Matt barked out a laughed. "You're a hoot kid! Wait till Dan hears that!"

The doorbell rang and Matt stood up straight, smoothing his shirt. "Billy, can you set the plates out while I get the door?" Billy squinted at him, as the man hurried out of the room.

Peeking his head around the corner Billy snuck a glance at their guest.

Dan was not what Billy was expecting and he certainly wasn't a woman either. Dan was an average man of average height. He had shaggy brown hair and a thick mustache to boot. His face was set with round thick-rimmed glasses. What was so special about Dan that they had to have dinner with him?

The men hugged at the door, the embrace uncharacteristic of how Billy believed men should act around each other. They regarded each other warmly. "I'm so glad you came," Matt said quietly. "Me too. I've missed you."

Scurrying back, Billy quickly set the table and sat down, his heart thundering. He suddenly felt like he shouldn't be here. Like he was now a part of a horrible secret.

"Billy, this is Dan." Matt introduced as they entered the room. Billy awkwardly rose from his chair, weakly shaking his hand. "H-hey."

"Why don't you two have a seat and I'll fetch the chow, huh?" Matt said happily, a hand on Dan's shoulder.

"Oh, I'll help!" Billy forcibly stated, rushing into the kitchen.

Matt raised an eyebrow, "Ok..."

In the kitchen, Billy was nervously wringing his hands around a hot pad as Matt entered. "Are you a queer?" he blurted out, regretting it in an instant.

Matt set down the crockery he had set to take in. "I am Billy. Does that make you uncomfortable?"

Billy twisted the hot pad back and forth in his hands, "I... – I don't know. It's like..." He was struggling, his nose scrunching and his eyes watering up. "You're... you're not supposed to."

Uncle Matt ripped a paper towel off the rack and handed it to Billy. "It's okay tough guy, you don't gotta figure it all out right now. If you wanna have dinner in your room you can."

Billy shook his head, blowing his nose loudly. "But you made all this, and... you're real nice, and... –"

"... a damned queer." Matt added with a deadpan delivery. "Just don't tell your father, he'd have a heart attack."

Billy laughed.

"Now c'mon. Chow's gettin' cold."

I was looking forward to seeing “a Complete Unknown”, not because of Bob Dylan, but because of Timothee Chalamet. I think is one of the greatest actors of his generation. I first saw him in “Call Me by your Name” (2017). His performance was great, but there was a moment at the end where he was brilliant. As the credits rolled, Chalamet sat staring into a fireplace. It was a long uninterrupted take. His character Elio was reflecting on his relationship with Arnie Hammer’s Oliver. Although the audience couldn’t “hear” what he was thinking, we could see what Chalamet was “feeling”. It was both painful and exquisite to watch.

Regarding Bob Dylan, of course I know of him, but I never following his music. The movie covers Dylan’s life between his arrival in New York City in 1961 as “a complete unknown”, until 1965 during a career transition. We see him meet his idols Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie, the release of his earliest albums, and his rise to fame. The trailer suggests the movie is entirely about Dylan’s switch from acoustic guitar to electric, but it covers probably less than 20 minutes of the 141 minute running time.

Here’s another confession… I’ve never followed folk music. But I was surprised by how familiar I was with most of the songs used in the film - nearly 40! I’d be curious how much of the movie’s budget was used to pay the licensing fees for those songs.

As to the film itself, I think it’s worth seeing - especially if you’re a Bob Dylan fan. Did I mention they used nearly of his 40 songs? The movie is wall-to-wall songs with occasional dialogue.

In a biopic, you hope to learn something about the subject of the film - and I did learn a little of what kind of person Dylan is (more on that later). But I think I learned even more about the people surrounding him.

The cast includes characters such as folk artists Pete Seeger (Edward Norton) and Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy); Dylan’s contemporaries Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and Johnny Cash (Boyd Holbrook); his agent (Dan Folger); his recording and touring band (Norbert Leo Butz, Will Harrison, and Elia Btieb, among others). And last but not least Elle Fanning as Dylan’s on again off again girlfriend.

Throughout the film, the camera lingers of these other people as they stare at Dylan from across the room or up on stage. They see something in Dylan - admiration? love? contempt? Or all three. A recurring theme in the movie is Dylan’s frustration with the people around him (friends and fans) who think they “know” him but don’t or who want a piece of him.

And here comes the part of the film I didn’t expect… ultimately it made me think the real Bob Dylan is an asshole.

As Dylan’s fame rises, so does his ego and unwillingness to give people what they expect of him. So much so, that when his mentor and friend Pete Seeger invites him to perform at the “all acoustic” Newport Folk Festival in 1965, Dylan suborningky insists on playing amplified electronic guitar - very loud and brash. As depicted in the movie, the audience in attendance hated it and even throw trash at him on stage. But Dylan won - dagnabbit, he wasn’t going to play acoustic music as the audience expected, he was going to do this own thing!

But it felt like an incredible betrayal of Dylan’s friend Peter Seeger, who had been trying to develop the festival to further folk and acoustic music and performers. If you’re a fan of Dylan’s you might not think his betrayal makes him an asshole. But that was the character Dylan evolved into over the course of the film.

That’s not to say I didn’t like the film. And Chalamet is good. Earlier in the film, when Dylan is shy and unsure of himself, I think Chalamet is too introspective (he hides behind the prosthetic nose). But in the middle part of the film, he opens up.

Edward Norton is great as Seeger. I would be surprised if he doesn’t get nominated for a supporting Oscar award. (Benedict Cumberbatch was originally cast as Seeger - thank gawd he dropped out!)

Both Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro are very good as well. I like Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash but he’s only in a few scenes.

Scoot McNairy plays Woody Guthrie. In the opening scene he’s ill and in a hospital. Guthrie is a shell of a man, unable to speak. Just seeing McNairy’s face evoked an emotional response from me that took a few minutes to shake. The movie never explains what’s wrong with him. I assumed he was suffering from a stroke. He wasn’t. (So you don’t have to check Wikipedia yourself, Guthrie suffered from Huntington's chorea, a hereditary disease that causes involuntary body movements and eventually dementia.)

Four out of five stars.

Note: There is an annoying aspect of the film. Several times the action stops to introduce a minor character by name. But they have no impact of the story of the film. Introducing them is distracting. It felt like director James Mangold (who cowrote the script) was including footnotes in the dialogue for you to check later. It’s a movie, not a musical history lesson.

Because of this, if you plan to see “a Complete Unknown”, see it at a theater. If you wait to see it on TV via streaming, you’ll constantly be checking every name and song on Wikipedia.

If I had a nickel for every time Madds Mikkelson played the title villain who had mad beef with Dan Folger- I would have a dime. But it’s weird that it happened twice.

Hannibal’s Sketchbook pg 80

Read From The Beginning

Page 79 - Page 80 - Page 81

This page was a struggle, as I dealt with motivation and health issues. However, I'm slowly unlearning self-sabotage practices, so I won't let guilt paralyze me. I missed my goal of a page a week, but that's okay. One mistake doesn't have to rob me of all the progress I have made. In the past, I would spiral and freeze, thinking I would have to make up for lost time by doubling my tasks. Nope, that only made my anxiety and stress increase, further paralyzing me.

We are building healthy coping skills, everyone.

Just watched the Super Mario trailer with my husband, and we both agree:

If you weren’t going to cast Charles Martinet as Mario like a normal person would, at least let the guy be from Brooklyn, New York

Liiiiiiiiike this guy:

Tell me he doesn’t look like he’d be a good Mario.

IMAGINE HIM BEING A LIVE ACTION MARIO!!!

Why cast the dick from FRICKING VIRGINIA???????

WWWWWWHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYAAAAAHHHHHHH?????

At this point any Brooklyn-Italian guy walking the streets of New York would work!!!!!!
