Award shows are tedious and crass, but the smile on Tracy Chapman’s face when the auditorium goes nuts for her before she takes everyone to school with no lip sync, no auto-tune and no in-ear monitors is a pretty sweet moment to capture live.
Not that there aren’t a hundred other examples, but I don’t know how any one could watch this scene and not understand that above all, Hannibal is a romance.
@UndeadDan
No beef, but they have become so ubiquitous that at a live telecast the potential for a problem with monitors and/or the venues PA system is much higher than at a regular gig, so she was confident enough to play even if she couldn’t hear the band and stay in tune and tempo.
There have been many times working for

where I’ve had a small part in creating some extreme imagery. I’ve never once felt that anything was exploitive or done thoughtlessly. On the rare occasions where there has been a problem with something we’ve shot...
@viviangirll
As a CSA survivor, I can only project my own experience. I read this as an artist creating a narrative whereby the victim of CSA reframes the narrative to put themselves in a position of power, where in reality they felt powerless. It’s therapeutic. And healthier than shaming.
“We got this guy for a double homicide!”
“What meal did the killer prepare with the remains?….Did he make a tableau with the corpses?…Did he at least ride a motorcycle in a tight little leather number like a slut?”
“I don’t celebrate Valentine’s Day anymore. Once you get a Valentine that’s an actual human carved into the shape of a heart, anything else is a disappointment. Now, where are we getting lunch?”
I wonder if the companies who hire Mads for commercials ever look more closely at the kind of engagement they get on social media rather than just the sheer amount of it. Because in the last 20 hours over 90% of y’alls tweets contain the word “Daddy”
The level of Fannibal twitter activity on my TL is such that if a nuclear bomb went off in a major city the same day that Mads appeared in a new ad, I’d find out about the bomb a week later.
No cuz do y’all know how much potential season 4 crazy Will would have had?!?! Like this was just a short clip and Hugh portrayed so much emotion!!! LIKEEE WE WERE ROBBED
She was the matriarch of the Hannibal family. A great producer and an amazing person. Working for her was an absolute pleasure that I’m grateful for. Peace and safe travels to you

“So by entwining my mind with the killers and living in their mind palace, I will be able to identify them and their degree of hotness..guilt, I mean guilt”
“We..we were asking for a search warrant of his apartment…”
This made wiring Hugh a challenge. Normally, one would hide the mic in the tie knot, but I had to go with a different placement that also accommodated how fucking violently he yanked that sucker off.
Love that scene where Will is teaching in his flannel and tie and as soon as class is done he takes the tie off, screams of "I'm technically adhering to the dress code" and I applaud him for it 👏👏👏

Normally I’d be making jokes about my TL flooded with Mads thirst, and while I don’t begrudge anybody for taking a job, Joanne can fuck off to the sun.

Oh my god. This is Mike Brown, who apparently works for the King Country Sheriff's Office. He posted this meme hours after two protesters were struck on the freeway a couple nights ago. This is one of the most offensive things I've seen in a long time.
If by “Solve it” you mean make your whole family feel super awkward at your funeral and then fall in love with your murderer and sail across the Atlantic to lovingly reunite with them in an art gallery in Florence, sure I guess.
@noforts
I loved filming this because he was absolutely NOT hamming it up. This is 100% his chaotic energy. Him putting the vest on upside down and inside out is priceless.
This is understanding the assignment. If you’re escorting a person in a dress to an event and you’re wearing a tux, remember YOU are an assistant and accessory. Act accordingly.
I didn’t know Bryan was a survivor. For a variety of reasons, I’m very upset about it ATM. Mostly because he is my friend. As always, you have my Love, Respect, Support and Friendship.
If Hannibal is renewed, we'll be seeing Beverly and Abigail again in Will Graham's Mind Palace:

I for one can't wait to see "Beverly" admonishing Will

It happens all the time. One of the greatest tricks that streaming technology ever pulled was convincing the public that “everything“ would be available, and that physical media wouldn’t be necessary anymore.
...what we are filming with enthusiasm and honesty. Remember, I’m the fucking Boom guy. I’ve worked for producers who would have fired me for making eye contact let alone asking questions about the script.
I’m glad the creators are going to get some more money out of this, but why would I watch something where I spend the whole time going “Mads was way better”?
Okay...I love

I’m never going to get to sleep again. 🤪
...Bryan has insisted on reshooting to get it right, no matter the costs or fights he has to get into to make it happen. When we were shooting a scene on AG S1 where Laura is intentionally trapping herself underwater in her hot tub with a layer of bug spray...
@GillianA
puts on her own wireless mic. The night we finished shooting this scene, she came over to me and said “here you go!” and somehow produced her mic and transmitter.
To this day I have no idea where she hid it or how she removed it so easily.
...I asked Bryan where he got the idea and he gave me a detailed explanation about it, it’s origins as a form of self-harm, and how that tied into the character and the story. That wasn’t the first or last time Bryan has explained the intention behind...
This picture is so funny to me bc while Hannibal is literally dating Alana and she’s all standing there like a beautiful trophy wife in her red dress, Hannibals gay ass only has eyes on Will BAHAHAHA 😭💀
Everytime is see this I’m always amazing that
@GillianA
(who wires herself and does an amazing job) actually felt the mic let go AND knew to fix it during the take. (I’m just off camera with a roll of tape, but my help was not required)
To the people that are dog piling on Alec Baldwin right now, regardless of your feelings towards him, it’s highly unlikely he’s in any way to blame for what happened yesterday. I wouldn’t wish being in his shoes right now on anyone.
