linktr.ee/CatchingUpOnCinema This month is Masterclass Month at Catching Up On Cinema! September 2024 marks our 6th anniversary of podcasting, and to commemorate the occasion, we take a month to do a deep dive on a popular, long-lived movie franchise. For this year's Masterclass, we'll be reviewing the Hannibal Lecter series of films! Created by author Thomas Harris, Hannibal Lecter is a charismatic serial killer that, across multiple novels, films, and most recently, TV series, has consistently captivated global audiences since his inception in 1981. This week, our Masterclass continues with a review of confirmed piece of shit, Brett Ratner's, Red Dragon (2002)! The second adaptation of the first of Thomas Harris' Hannibal Lecter series of novels, Brett Ratner's, Red Dragon (2002) is a sanitized, and by the numbers adaptation of the classic novel of the same name. Once again produced by mega producers Dino and Martha De Laurentiis (who also produced Hannibal), Red Dragon, in spite of also featuring the talents of cinematographer, Dante Spinotti (who also shot Manhunter), and Ted Tally (screenwriter of Silence of the Lambs), is somewhat bland, and considerably less stylized rendition of Thomas Harris' novel than Michael Mann's, Manhunter (1986). Just a short year after the release of Hannibal (2002), Anthony Hopkins returns to reprise his role as Hannibal Lecter, with Edward Nortion starring as Will Graham, previously embodied on screen by William Petersen. An early example of a fanservice oriented prequel/sequel, Red Dragon goes out of its way to remind viewers at every turn, of the vastly superior Silence of the Lambs. Cast members, characterizations, iconography, and locations from Silence are all exploited, not without justification, but quite readily, and in a fashion that was not yet en vogue in Hollywood. In spite of its weaker presentation as compared to Manhunter, Red Dragon nevertheless benefits greatly from the novelty factor of its adaptation featuring additional scenes with Hannibal Lecter, and from ,pre greatly emphasizing the characterizations of Francis Dolarhyde and Reba McClane (played by Ralph Fiennes and Emily Watson respectively), who in Manhunter were given considerably less screen time. Blunt, and not especially confident in it's presentation or storytelling, Red Dragon is almost entirely buoyed by the efforts of its exemplary cast of players, with Ralph Fiennes and the late Philip Seymour Hoffman both making enormous contributions to the entertainment value of the film, in spite of the otherwise pedestrian filmmaking from director and confirmed piece of shit, Brett Ratner.

Beyond the Cabin in the Woods goes beyond The Silence of the Lambs IMDB SynopsisDirected by: Jonathan DemmeWritten by: Ted Tally, based upon the novel by Thomas HarrisReleased: 1991Quote: “You know what you look like to me, with your good bag and your cheap shoes? You look like a rube. A well-scrubbed, hustling rube with a little taste. Good nutrition's given you some length of bone, but you're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling? And that accent you've tried so desperately to shed: pure West Virginia. What is your father, dear? Is he a coal miner? Does he stink of the lamp? You know how quickly the boys found you... all those tedious sticky fumblings in the back seats of cars... while you could only dream of getting out... getting anywhere... getting all the way to the FBI.”Poll: Why do they refer to Buffalo Bill's victims as fat?Rule: Do not be discourteous.

His half century-long collaboration with Barry Manilow has produced over 200 songs that have been featured in numerous films & have been recorded by an array of artists, earning Grammy Awards & multiple Gold & Platinum records. We discuss: What is it like collaborating with Barry Manilow and how did that all unfold? When did you first get the desire to write, score & produce music? Who & what were your inspirations? Does writing the book for a show & scoring the music come naturally to you? What are the easy parts, what are the hard parts and what does it take to get it all done to your exacting standards? Is there a secret to your success? What advice would you offer someone else who needs a better roadmap to reach the same pinnacle of success that you have? The show's slogan is that HARMONY tells the extraordinary true story of the greatest entertainers the world would ever forget. There were 6 Comedian Harmonists. What made them so beloved at the time and why were they forgotten? What does the Broadway musical Harmony mean to you and can you tell our listeners exactly your role in the show is as the maestro behind the book and lyrics and also Barry Manilow's role with his original score in the show? What would you like audiences to take away from the intended meaning & message of the show & how you would like to see them feeling during & after the show? How long did it take for Harmony to get to Broadway & why the long and winding road that finally landed the show there. What are you most proud of? Anything you would change?

Mark overanalyses — that is his nature — as he tries to figure out what makes The Silence of the Lambs so unsettling, how its structure and cinematography both express its theme, and why we all prefer a psychopathic cannibal over a guy with his own gold pen.https://markoveranalysesfilm.buzzsprout.com/https://www.markoveranalysesstory.com/https://twitter.com/overanalysefilm
In 1988, author Thomas Harris released what became his most critically acclaimed novel that had critics calling the book “utterly gripping” and describing his character Hannibal Lecter as nothing short of “pure evil.” Even before the book hit store shelves, Orion Pictures and actor Gene Hackman purchased the rights to develop into a film. Hackman eventually backed out of the project, but a screenplay adaptation from Ted Tally was already in the works so he was encouraged to finish. Jonathan Demme was eventually brought onto direct the film and he immediately fell in love with the book and then the screenplay with production starting only a few months later. The film starred Jodie Foster as an ambitious young FBI agent tasked with exploring the mind of famed psychopath played by Anthony Hopkins with hopes of earning his help to track down a serial killer named Buffalo Bill… In the latest episode of Rewind of the Living Dead, we're going to eat some liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti as we look back at the 1991 film “The Silence of the Lambs”…

Come and celebrate the four year anniversary of Wake Up Heavy with this Very Special Episode on a film in my Top Ten of All Time. Chris Stachiw (The Kulturecast) and Mike White (The Projection Booth Podcast) join me to discuss Jonathan Demme's 1991 film The Silence of the Lambs. Written by Ted Tally and based on the novel by Thomas Harris, Silence stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starling, an FBI trainee, Scott Glenn as Special Agent Jack Crawford, Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter, and Ted Levine as Jame Gumb, aka Jamie Gumb, aka John Grant, aka Jack Gordon, aka Buffalo Bill. The film follows Starling as she matches wits with Lecter in an attempt to track down a notorious serial killer before he can kill and skin his next victim. The film was a huge financial and critical success and went on to win “The Big Five” categories at the 1992 Academy Awards.
The beautiful song that Buffalo Bill plays while dancing around in his robe, “Goodbye Horses,” also appears in Married to the Mob, the film Jonathan Demme made prior to Silence of the Lambs. It appears in a scene in which Michelle Pfeiffer's character is wearing a robe. The Silence of the Lambs is Jonathan Demme's 1991 horror/thriller film, which is based on Thomas Harris' 1988 novel of the same name. It's about an ambitious, promising young FBI trainee, Clarice Starling (Jodie Foster), who has been recruited by Jack Crawford (Scott Glenn), head of the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, to assist with the pursuit of serial killer Jame Gumb (Ted Levine), known as Buffalo Bill, who kidnaps, kills, and skins young women. Starling's assignment, which involves interviewing another serial killer, Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins), gains greater urgency when Buffalo Bill abducts his latest victim, Catherine Martin (Brooke Smith), the daughter of Tennessee Senator Ruth Martin (Diane Baker). Though the scene discussed here is typically called the Buffalo Bill Dance Scene, it's as much about Catherine Martin as it is about Jame Gumb/Buffalo Bill. Occurring during the film's final act, it comprises a series of crosscuts focusing on the two characters and their very different aims: Gumb, as he immerses himself in his fantasies of sexual desirability and transformation, Catherine, as she executes a plan to gain a bargaining chip and save her own life by luring Precious, Gumb's beloved dog, into the basement pit where Gumb has imprisoned her. This scene serves several purposes within the film. It gives the audience a brief but illuminating glimpse into Jame Gumb's inner life and aspirations, an aspect of the novel that was largely sacrificed for the film adaptation. It also underscores the depth of Catherine's peril in the face of Gumb's strong motivations to cut her up in service to his fantasies, highlights Catherine's determination and resourcefulness, sets the clock ticking for her as she puts her plan into motion, and ratchets up the tension. The dance scene is not in Thomas Harris' novel or Ted Tally's screenplay, though it was inspired by a moment early on in the book when Gumb stands in front of a mirror and tucks his penis between his legs. The dance was the result of an on-set collaboration between Jonathan Demme and Ted Levine. Demme filmed two versions. The one used in the film is set to Q. Lazzarus' Goodbye Horses, a song about transcendence and an appropriate choice given Gumb's aims. The alternate version showed Levine performing a striptease to Bob Seger's Her Strut. There is no doubt that Demme made the right choice for the film, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see the latter. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Happy Cyber Monday, Goons!!! This last week of November, Jake and Ade go through The Silence of the Lambs, directed by Jonathan Demme and adapted from Thomas Harris' novel of the same name (screenplay by Ted Tally--who also adapted Red Dragon!). We chose this one for its gorging/cannibalism by Dr. Hannibal Lecter, but also because it is truly a cinematic masterpiece. From its score by Howard Shore (Scanners, Se7en, Videodrome, The Fly, Big, etc...), to the incredible acting chops of Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Lecter, Ted Levine as the titular Buffalo Bill, and the subtle nuanced delivery of Clarice Starling's character played by the amazing Jodie Foster, it is genuinely a captivating film that just so happens to cross multiple genres. Find out why we think Dr. Lecter is such a fascinating, principled villain, in comparison to the likes of Dr. Doom and Magneto; why we believe Clarice Starling is more than just an object; and find out about all of the fun cameos by George A. Romero, Chris Isaak and Roger Corman, among many others.

In episode 27, we look at 1991's Oscar winner for Best Picture, as well as its 2001 sequel, Hannibal, in which Julianne Moore stepped into the role of Agent Starling to face off against Hopkins. Plus, the usual behind the scenes fun facts, new trivia, poll results, and listener shout-outs! "Ti voglio bene, Nonna."

Based on Thomas Harris's grisly 1988 bestseller, Jonathan Demme's THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS was, on its February 1991 release, an immediate critical and box office success. It ran for eight months and went on to be nominated for seven Oscars, winning five—for Demme, Hopkins, Foster, screenwriter Ted Tally, and Best Picture. This week on the show, Adam and Josh dig into the technical sophistication - and the humanist touch - that Demme and company bring to the lurid material.

EL SILENCIO DE LOS CORDEROS por César Bardés En 1991, en medio de un cine, experimentamos el miedo de la tensión. Un personaje nos miraba a los ojos y, con cada palabra que pronunciaba, parecía estar a punto de devorar a quien osara escucharle. Al otro lado del cristal, una joven policía quería atrapar a un psicópata que desollaba a sus víctimas y todos los que estábamos atrapados en la butaca asistíamos a todas y cada una de las curvas de los tortuosos senderos de la mente. La sórdida puesta en escena, con montajes paralelos y potentes interpretaciones nos dejó una sensación de haber visto algo grande mientras, a la salida del cine, nos costaba quitarnos de encima la sombra de ese personaje siniestro que hablaba pausadamente y con exquisita educación mientras en su privilegiado cerebro urdía la mejor manera de salirse con la suya aprovechando la caza emprendida contra otro asesino. La tensión se evaporaba en la calle y, aún así, todavía te perseguía la mirada de ese tipo monstruoso que, misteriosamente, destilaba un atractivo que no era fácil de esquivar. Anthony Hopkins y Jodie Foster compusieron unos personajes eternos, completos y complejos, enfermizamente absorbentes mientras la música de Howard Shore envolvía toda la historia con un halo de imprecisión, resaltando la posibilidad de que, en cualquier momento, podía pasar cualquier cosa. Hoy, unos cuantos investigadores incautos, se atreven a sumergirse por las profundidades de una psicología casi inasible para comprobar que los corderos jamás dejan de chillar. Jonathan Demme dirigió el intento con sobriedad y precisión, sabiendo en todo momento captar la atención de un público que no podía quitar la vista de la pantalla. El guión de Ted Tally proponía líneas de ingenio en esos encuentros climáticos y terriblemente intensos entre el doctor Hannibal Lecter y la agente Clarice Starling. Tal vez sea el momento de dejar que suenen las voces y la música mientras se cena ¿no creen? Puede que éste sea el instante en el que los que se acerquen y escuchen comiencen a ver en la oscuridad.

>> Prefer to read, download the full episode transcript here For the last few decades, a grass-roots movement across the United States has been raising awareness and campaigning to change the situation in many schools, whereby early bell times are forcing kids to get out of bed extremely early in order to make it through the school gates on time. With bus times scheduled as early as 5 am, as well as causing disruption to family lives, early school start times fail to recognize the vast body of scientific research demonstrating that adolescent sleep needs are fundamentally different to adults and younger children.

>> Prefer to read, download the full episode transcript here For the last few decades, a grass-roots movement across the United States has been raising awareness and campaigning to change the situation in many schools, whereby early bell times are forcing kids to get out of bed extremely early in order to make it through the school gates on time. With bus times scheduled as early as 5 am, as well as causing disruption to family lives, early school start times fail to recognize the vast body of scientific research demonstrating that adolescent sleep needs are fundamentally different to adults and younger children. In 2011, Dr Terra Ziporyn Snider started a petition to lobby the government to recognise the biological incompatibility between early school times and adolescent sleep needs. This resulted in the founding of Start School Later, which brought together all of the grass-roots activists across the States, to join with researchers and health professionals to further raise awareness and bring about change regarding the relationship between sleep and school hours. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJboKaGmYcg In this episode we speak to Dr Terra Ziporyn Snider, co-founder and Executive Director of Start School Later about the history and social context of America's early school start times, the science of adolescent sleep, and the California Bill SB328 which is pushing for a mandate to ensure schools are legally obliged to start no earlier than 8.30am.

In 1991, Ted Tally adapted the Thomas Harris novel The Silence of the Lambs, and the world was never the same again. A rare Oscar-winning horror film, Silence stars Jodie Foster as Clarice Starline, Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, with Ted Levine and Scott Glenn supporting as Buffalo Bill and Jack Crawford respectively. Equal parts thrilling, creepy, and satisfying, audiences and critics alike were impressed with this hard-hitting movie, and they continue to be as Silence of the Lambs continues to be considered one of the most influential films of all time. Made for $19M, Hannibal the Cannibal went on to rake in $272M at the box office and swept the big five categories at the Oscars. But does it hold up? Listen as Jon, Colin and Brent revisit the asylum and see if Hannibal has the same impact on their souls after nearly 30 years, chilling them to the bone as they are unable to look away, or if they fall prey to a sadistic woman suit maker who wants to do himself so hard while the boys put the lotion in the basket.

On this episode, we will be discussing THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. The Silence of the Lambs is a 1991 American psychological horror thriller film[3] directed by Jonathan Demme from a screenplay written by Ted Tally, adapted from Thomas Harris's 1988 novel of the same name. The film stars Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Scott Glenn, Ted Levine, and Anthony Heald.[4] In the film, Clarice Starling, a young FBI trainee, seeks the advice of the imprisoned Dr. Hannibal Lecter, a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer to apprehend another serial killer, known only as "Buffalo Bill", who skins his female victims' corpses. The novel was Harris's first and second respectively to feature the characters of Starling and Lecter, and was the second adaptation of a Harris novel to feature Lecter, preceded by the Michael Mann-directed Manhunter (1986).

12 Strong: The Declassified True Story of the Horse Soldiers) is a 2018 American war drama film directed by Nicolai Fuglsig and written by Ted Tally and Peter Craig. The film is based on Doug Stanton's non-fiction book Horse Soldiers, which tells the story of CIA paramilitary officers and U.S. Special Forces, in addition to USAF Combat Controllers, sent to Afghanistan immediately after the September 11 attacks. The film stars Chris Hemsworth, Michael Shannon, Michael Peña, Navid Negahban, Trevante Rhodes, Geoff Stults, Thad Luckinbill, William Fichtner, and Rob Riggle. Principal photography began in January 2017 in New Mexico. The film was released in the United States on January 19, 2018, in standard and IMAX theaters. It received mixed reviews from critics, who praised the cast and action but criticized the by-the-numbers execution and lack of hindsight of the War in Afghanistan. The harrowing story of the first U.S. special forces mission in Afghanistan following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. The following is the second part of an Army.mil exclusive three-part feature recounts the events of the Green Berets' first mission in Afghanistan, as they sought to destroy the Taliban regime and deny Al-Qaida sanctuary in that country. BOMB STRIKES One of the primary and most important functions of the Special Forces teams during the early days of Afghanistan operations was calling in air strikes, supported by combat controllers from Air Force Special Operations Command. The U.S. military had been bombing the Taliban for a couple of weeks, but in a land of caves and mountains and small villages, it was difficult to distinguish targets. To help level the field and give the resistance forces a chance, the U.S. had to get rid of those tanks, armored carriers and antiaircraft guns. Once they got on the ground, Soldiers identified enemy targets, and skilled Airmen called in those targets and quickly began picking off the Taliban and Al Qaeda. They also called for resupplies and humanitarian assistance drops. "The sole focus of that combat controller was to bring that air-to-ground interface, so to look for areas where we could establish an airhead, where we could land aircraft, where we could bring supplies where we could do airdrops," explained former combat controller and retired Chief Master Sgt. Calvin Markham, who received a Silver Star for the operation. "The other side of it was to bring that close air support expertise with our air traffic control background, having multiple stacks of aircraft … from fighters to bombers overhead," he said. "It annihilated the enemy," he continued, noting that the beginning of Operation Enduring Freedom was the first time B52s had been used for close air support since the Vietnam War. "I think it really broke their will to fight. You kill 10, 15 enemy combatants on the battlefield at one time, I'm sure it's a devastating blow to them, but when you're talking about hundreds of enemy combatants losing their lives from one strike, it makes the other guys think about what they're doing and that maybe they should retreat." The success of the bomb strikes also encouraged other fighters, who were perhaps on the fence, to join the coalition. "We fought for about a month and a half to two months, constantly air attacks, air attacks, air attacks on all of the Taliban positions, until it got to a point where we moved forward and took their lines and they just kind of went back to the populace," said Master Sgt. Keith Gamble, then a weapons sergeant on ODA 585. "Once we started dropping bombs on the enemy, their [civilians] whole attitude changed," Gamble added. "They were loving us. A lot of (sodas) came out. A lot of really good food came out. We were their heroes." AN ERRANT STRIKE There were tragedies as well as successes. Fowers' team had a communications sergeant shot in the neck as they tried to advance across a heavily defended bridge. Then, the next day, Dec. 5, came one of the worst tragedie...

Screenwriter Ted Tally—who won an Oscar for his screenplay for “Silence of the Lambs,” and whose other credits include “Red Dragon,” All the Pretty Horses,” and “The Juror”—talks to Sean Tuohy about the influence acting and theater had on his early career, transitioning from playwright to screenwriter, how he became involved with “Silence of the Lambs,” and why any time writing is never wasted.
