Chouette! Merci. Hanni aime bien les langues, n'est ce pas? (Pun en francais, j'espere.)

English to French translation

Hey fellow fannibals! I just wanna tell the fandom’s writers that I would love to help anyone translate sentences to French, since Hannibal sometimes speaks it and it makes me so sad when I see poorly translated stuff….

Anyhow, I’d love to help! I’m fluent in both English and French, and I can do nsfw and stuff, I’m not easy to disgust :P

I don’t mind helping people outside the fandom either! I’m actually very shy but pretty nice, so don’tr hesitate!

erm, @damnslippyplanet @darkdreamsofhannigram @croik @cannibalcuisine @shaunamyrise @azuresky2011 and whoever feels like it

Why am I on the side of the pond with the puritans?

It’s been 3 years and it’s still one of my favourite moments in British television of this decade. Ladies and gentlemen, Jack Whitehall and James Corden (from The Big Fat Quiz of the Year 2012)

Our laudatory for Hannibal

While the critically acclaimed series, Hannibal was cancelled last July, the show has continued to accrue nominations, awards, and media attention. However, neither the show nor its outstanding performances, especially those by Hugh Dancy and Mads Mikkelsen, have been recognized by the Emmys. 

While Hannibal missed the Emmy window last year, we would like to remind everyone that it is very much eligible for this year’s awards.

So, you may be asking, why would we go to the effort to promote Hannibal and the lead actors’ performances for Emmy consideration?

Hannibal, in a word, is unique. The acting is emotionally powerful, the writing masterfully crafted, and the visuals deliciously composed… and we haven’t even mentioned the brilliant soundtrack, set or costume design.  

As Hannibal Lecter, Mads Mikkelsen cultivates a slow, underlying terror in tandem with a scorned tenderness, resulting in a character that is both terrifying and sympathetic, repulsive and magnetic. The cultivated exterior belies Hannibal Lecter’s monstrous core, frighteningly powerful in its aura. Mikkelsen’s seemingly effortless re-imagining of Lecter’s character manages to eclipse previous incarnations of Lecter in film. Quite simply, Mikkelsen’s Lecter is sublime and legendary.

Hannibal’s no less operatic counterpart, empathic crime profiler Will Graham, who is played by Hugh Dancy, provides a hauntingly breath-taking performance of his own. Weaving together his character’s troubled psyche along with the multiple personas of the serial killers with whom he is forced to connect, Dancy’s performance demands subtlety and nuance. He creates a person of contradictions: compassionately cruel, lovingly withdrawn, aggressively passive, brokenly whole and allows the show to pave the way for a better addressing of mental illness in the media.

Dancy and Mikkelsen inhabit their roles so seamlessly we are all mesmerized.

We fear that while Hannibal is on hiatus, there is no network to champion it, to present it to the academy—its stars and its daring overlooked despite its extraordinary vision and contribution to the evolution of television.  

Hannibal defies categorization and should the Emmys only support what is popular, not what is innovative?  

So consider the purpose of the Emmy’s: to acknowledge excellence in television, to give recognition to work in television that has influenced and inspired the industry.  Flip through your channels, or scour streaming sites, and you will see Hannibal’s influence everywhere: from comedy programming such as “Key and Peele” and “Archer,” to art house dramas such as “True Detective” and “Man in the High Castle.”  Hannibal has not only influenced other writers, it has changed the television landscape.  

We are asking you to give acknowledgement to the beauty, talent, and art where it is due.

We are asking for you to recognize the cast and crew’s ingenuity and dedication to quality and inventive television.

There are many shows on TV – but Hannibal is Art.

Honor Hannibal’s contribution to television by recognizing the show and its performances for what they are: Emmy worthy.

This must be the inspiration for the nearly identical scene in the music video for "The Kill" by 30 Seconds to Mars, but what's this from?

[professorhannigram-blog]

The song "The Origin of Love" and the animation for it from the movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch are based on a mythological story that one character, Aristophanes, tells in Plato's Symposium. A symposium in ancient Greece was a drinking party where the guests would take turns making little impromptu speeches on the topic of the night, in this case, on the nature of love. Aristophanes' story accounts for heterosexual and homosexual love, and it's beautiful. Socrates' speech on the nature of love is the origin of the concept of Platonic love. (Plato wrote the dialogue and puts his ideas regarding the highest form of love into Socrates' words.) A latecomer to the party has a crush on Socrates, and having previously been rebuffed by him, has fallen in love with Socrates' inner beauty. You can easily find The Symposium online to read.

“It is the unique power of cinema to allow a great many people to dream the same dream together and to present illusions to us as if it were strict reality. It is, in short, an admirable vehicle for poetry. My film is nothing other than a striptease act, gradually peeling away my body to reveal my naked soul.”

Jean Cocteau (July 5, 1889 –- October 11, 1963)

Ladislaw Starewicz: Although his name nowadays means very little, Starewicz ranks alongside Walt Disney, as one of the great animation pioneers, and his career started nearly a decade before Disney’s. He became an animator by accident - fascinated by insects, he bought a camera and attempted to film them, but they kept dying under the hot lights. Stop-motion animation provided an instant (if slow) solution, and Starewicz discovered that he had a natural talent for it. He subsequently made dozens of short films, mostly featuring his trademark stop-motion puppets, but also live action films(x). watch The Revenge of a Kinematograph Cameraman (1912) here.
