No less than 6 films make the jump this week, ensuring that I will have absolutely no human contact outside of asking the concession guy for more butter on my popcorn. Considering I'll be at the Ong Bak 2 screening on Monday, adding yet another film to this week's tally, there's little chance that I'll see everything on this week's list.

But if I do magically pull it off, I expect some kind of reward. Not sure what. Praise is nice. Food is cool.

After a few exchanges Clarice attempts to slip by Hannibal the true purpose of her visit - a psychological questionnaire To this Hannibal replies Oh, no, no, no no. The transparency factor in full effect. Hannibal politely yet, firmly reminds her who and what he is. Throughout their “relationship”, Clarice constantly pushes Hannibal for answers.
