    MAJOR SPOILERS POLL OF THE WEEK
    This week, we’re letting the fictional serial killers take care of their own by putting Dexter Morgan and Hannibal Lecter in the ring and seeing who emerges victorious.
    FIGHT!
    [poll id=”185″] VOTE

    Capote in Kansas
    Murder. Not intricately plotted “whodunit.” Not fiery passionate fury. But dirty, sad, disturbing actions from real people.

    That’s what Truman Capote decided to use for In Cold Blood – his bold experiment in the realm of the non-fiction “novel.” Following in that legacy is Capote in Kansas, a fictionalized tale of Capote’s time in Middle America researching his classic book. Capote’s struggles with the town, the betrayal, and his own troubled past make this book a compelling portrait of one of the greatest literary talents of the 20th century.

      Oh no! I was hoping this was recorded after the big DC announcement. That’s OK, although I wanted to hear the guys’ take on all that. Maybe it’s worth making a “very special” episode!

      So funny that there were only “two” real news stories this week. It almost sounded like an NDA was in effect… maybe not. I can never tell what the standing is between MSP and the big two.

      Thrilled about your taking on the Capote! I like the ventures into the books without the pictures.

        Yeah… hover your mouse over the main image above… :D

      Guys,

      Great podcast as always… but I have a couple of corrections.

      The movie in the mid 1980s with William Petersen that had Brian Cox as Hannibal Lecter was named “Manhunter”. It was director Michael Mann’s third film and very well done.

      “Red Dragon” is a remake from 2002 of the same story and it’s a pretty good movie in it’s own right. Brett Rattner (who directed the “Rush Hour” movies) is the director here and it stars Sir Anthony Hopkins as Lecter and Ed Norton as Will Graham.

      Sir Anthony Hopkins turned 77 on December 31st and while he may not be able to show as much physical prowess as say Michael Hall, he can stil act with the best of them. His best movie since “The Silence of the Lambs” is “The World’s Fastest Indian” and in it, he turned a great performance at then, the age of 72. Needless to say, I’m a big fan :-)

      It’s established in Lord of the Rings or one of the indexes maybe, but the Wood Elf King who captures the Dwarves is in fact Legolas’ Father Thranduil. That could explain Legolas appearance.

      My understanding is there is going to be considerable expansion of the story of Gandalf’s conflict with the Necromancer which is only hinted at in the novel, and laid out a little more in LOTR and it’s indices. The Necromancer is of course Sauron, based out of Dol Guldur in Mirkwood and looking for the One Ring. This expanded plot surrounding Gandalf (which explains his constant appearing and disappearing during the Hobbit) could account for Legolas, Galadriel, and all sorts of characters who never actually appeared in the Hobbit proper.

      My wife’s uncle was in possession of the In Cold Blood killers’ tombstones for 20 some years. A friend of his stole them off of their graves and then gave them to him for safe keeping. He used them as stepping stones to his shed. I saw them once when we went to visit.
