Topic turning REALLY grim now, innit?
Heck, even "I Will Walk Like a Crazy Horse" (1973) film don't seem so gross anymore.
Also, even if I was hungry, in this modern day and age, why would I, haha, necessarily want to eat a human being, lol? :) :) :)
Auto-cannibalism?

Great and atmospheric yet sad pop/rock track by them, off "Low-Life" (1985) album by them, which I own on CD too.

Love love love this one, forever and for always, a classic AND a nice childhood memory.
Julianne Moore is a talented actress, yes, and she has been great in some films too, but I found her performance in Hannibal as Clarice to be rather average at best.
Or Minimalism for that matter, haha. :)
Outrun my gun, yes, but better run better run faster than my BULLET. Not body, buddy or bully. )
Never cared much about "Hannibal" (2001) or "Hannibal Rising" (2007) though.
P.S. And I hope and pray no one finds it instructional here OR off-putting, bit of controversial black humor, and violence and murder etc in general I also NEVER encourage like that at all. )
Its 'bullet', haha, Laura.

Great song. From their album "Together Alone" (1993) and was also featured in the solid Australian 1999 black comedy gangster caper thriller "Two Hands", which I of course have seen and own on DVD, and RIP Heath Ledger. "Sleep by no means comes too soon, in a valley lit by the moon."
I once wanted to make a thread on female on male somnophilia in movies, and also what we think of this subject, yes, sometimes it involved sexual contact (see also films like "Blue Seduction" (2009) and whatnot) in others like "From Beyond" (1986) (a brilliant film by the way) its just supernatural confrontation stuff, but overall, how do we feel about it?
Also, if it was a law and you had a girlfriend, would you necessarily report her to the police for it? And if you don't, can you, and her for that matter, continue to live lives as normally? Preferably if NO unwanted sexual contact WAS involved like in Blue Seduction, OK OK OK.
Sleep. By no means comes too soon, in a valley lit by the moon. - "Kare Kare" by Crowded House.
P.S. And yes, Blue Seduction (2009) by Timothy Bond with Billy Zane and Estella Warren was a LAME movie.

Not a fan of them at all but I kinda like this, off 1992's album "Totally" by them.
"Brave Words" (1987) was technically their debut ALBUM albeit a year prior to it The Chills released "Kaleidoscope World" compilation album. In 1986.
And "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (1974), and "Eaten Alive" (1980). And even Pasolini's "Pigsty" (1969).
There's also films like Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust (1980) and Jungle Holocaust (1977), Cannibal Ferox (1981), Marian Dora's "Cannibal" (2005) which was also based on a true story, Der Fan (1982), "Raw" (2016), Ravenous (1999) and little seen Spanish flick "Omnivores" (2013) that feature such subject. Plus Nicholas Winding Refn's 2016 flick "The Neon Demon".
Also, in your opinion, how taboo and problematic and disturbing IS cannibalism even in fiction? Compared to such other topics as :
Murder, bestiality, sexual violence and sexual abuse of ANY kind, physical violence, necrophilia, other stuff etc and should we be AS shocked by it as we are perhaps in ONE area? Cheers.
And even Jean Luc Godard's brilliant film "Weekend" (1967) deals with such a subject.
Hahahahaha, Cannibalism (my recent thread) and Hannibalism, and don't forget the series "Hannibal" also with Mads Mikkelsen and Michael Mann's great prequel to it all "Manhunter" (1986).
Remember that scene in the controversial and disturbing cult grotesque French surreal fantasy film "I Will Walk Like a Crazy Horse" (1973) ("J'irai comme un cheval fou"), where, SPOILERS ALERT - that midget fantasy figure kills, devours and EATS the main character, and he is seen not as an outright evil MONSTER and if not a downright good character, but as a flawed fantasy being with one's own sense of "morality" and "duty" and whatnot and in the process, his "victim's" spirit was taken to heaven, and yes I have indeed seen this movie and own it on DVD. Ooh, I CHALLENGE you to watch it, provided you have BOTH a strong stomach AND an open mind.
Very much in Fernando Arrabal's own vein but in some ways its like were Ruggero Deodato, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Luis Bunuel and Alejandro Jodorowsky joined forces to make a movie like that with a tiny touch of "Midnight Cowboy" (1969) on the side. And yes, of course, it ALSO deals with cannibalism and as one reviewer mentioned correctly, it is merely a PLOT DEVICE but still...
Hannibal Lecter.
