Hannibal Lecter


According to the New York Times, the reclusive and excruciatingly deliberate Thomas Harris has a new Hannibal Lecter book on the way, describing Lecter's early years before he became the full-blown wack-job we all know and love. It's due in December, just in time for Christmas. I, for one, am looking forward to it. All of the "Hannibal" bashing you can find from book critics and various morons on the web is kind of annoying. It was a good book, perhaps not quite as good as "Silence of the Lambs" and "Red Dragon," but still quite good.

Which reminds me, what are you favorite "Silence of the Lambs" quotes? (Here's a cheatsheet.) I think mine has to be, "Put the fucking lotion in the basket!" To me, that whole scene between Catherine and Bill has quite a bit of campy humor to it--though, of course, I've seen the movie 25 times and it has long lost the terror of the first viewing.
