Molly Shannon On The Tragedy That Changed Her Life Forever
17 May 2013 3:53 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
At 48, Molly Shannon is still the kind of woman who turns heads, with her mischievous grin and twinkling blue eyes. And, when she opens her mouth, she’s also the kind of woman who causes you to bust a gut. In short, she’s wildly funny. Shannon is perhaps best known for her six-year run on “Saturday Night Live,” where she brought to life such remarkable characters as 50-year-old Sally O’Malley between 1995 and 2001. But she’s also enjoyed a memorable presence on many other TV shows as well, appearing on everything from “Seinfeld” to “The Middle” to HBO’s “Enlightened.”
No doubt she’s stayed incredibly busy. She will soon appear in the Clark Gregg comedy “Trust Me” and is also co-writing a new Disney feature about moms on a road trip.
Born in 1964 in Shaker Heights, Ohio, Shannon endured a horrific tragedy early on that would shape the rest of her life. »

Hannibal - Episodes 4 and 5 Review
30 April 2013 11:23 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
John Lucking reviews the fourth and fifth episodes of Hannibal....
Art imitates life, especially within the world of television, and while innumerable shows take their dramatic concepts from real-world events it’s much less common for art to stand aside and let life run its course. That was the decision made by Bryan Fuller regarding Hannibal’s fourth episode as a result of the Boston Marathon bombings. The content of the episode was not tied to the bombings (it dealt with Molly Shannon’s character training children to kill other children) but Fuller says he made this choice out of a cultural sensitivity, stating that he doesn’t want anybody sitting down to watch Hannibal to have a bad time. The episode was only pulled in North America, and rather than an outright ban Fuller did mention that he has no problem with people seeking this episode out further down the line. »

Hannibal episode 5 review: Coquilles

Review Laura Akers 30 Apr 2013 - 06:30
Gina Torres guests in the latest Hannibal, which continues to favour the crime-fighters' psychology over that of the criminals...
This review contains spoilers.
1.5 Coquilles
A couple of weeks ago, in my review of Hannibal's second episode, I commented on the way the show prioritised the psychological strands among its crime fighters over that of the criminals, an odd but potentially interesting choice in a series that revolves around criminal profilers: their job is to get into the heads of the evil-doers, while we’re getting into their own. As a result, the actual crimes and the criminals themselves receive minimal attention.
This last week saw that in spades.
First, the fourth episode itself, Œuf, was pulled in the United States because of the sensitivity of the subject matter. It’s hard, sight-unseen, to know precisely how the story about children brainwashed into killing »

NBC pulled Hannibal Episode 4 Ceuf due to the Boston and Newtown tragedies and promised that fans would be able to see the fourth episode online. Well that just has not been the case and the decision sucks. Executive Producer Bryan Fuller admitted on Friday that he had benn talking with NBC executives a few weeks ago regarding his hesitation over airing the episode. The episodes original case of the week focused on a woman played by guest star Molly Shannon who brainwashes children to kill their families which Fuller deemed insensitive in light of the recent violence in Sandy Hook and Boston. »
‘Hannibal’ Season 1, Episode 5 Review – The Lonely Road
26 April 2013 10:19 AM, PDT | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »
Obviously, the big news surrounding Hannibal this week was the announcement that NBC and Bryan Fuller had made the decision to pull the fourth episode ‘Ceuf’ due to sensitivity regarding some of the serial killer content involving Molly Shannon, which, from what has been revealed of the episode, concerns the killing of children by children.
Whatever your thoughts on the decision to pull the episode may be, what is done is done, and while parts are missing, it doesn’t appear to have derailed the series. Thankfully, if you are a fan of the series and you’ve been following it, hopefully you’ve either managed to scrounge up a copy of the episode online, or you’ve gone over to NBC’s website and taken a look at the six-episode webseries they’ve made with ...

Review: 'Hannibal' - 'Coquilles'
25 April 2013 8:00 PM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
A quick review of tonight's "Hannibal" coming up just as soon as I employ an ethical butcher... This afternoon, in discussing the "webisodes" that Bryan Fuller and company made out of the unaired fourth episode, I noted that the scenes involving Lecter, Will, Dr. Bloom and Abigail separated very cleanly from whatever was going on with the Molly Shannon storyline they didn't want anyone to see — and that the Killer of the (Every Other) Week stories have, by design, not been quite as engrossing as what's happening with our ongoing characters. The standalone killer in "Coquilles" is perhaps the most »

Controversial 'Hannibal' episode gets sliced into webisodes
25 April 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | Hitfix | See recent Hitfix news »
As we discussed last week, NBC is skipping the fourth episode of "Hannibal," and will jump straight to episode 5 tonight at 10. The official version of the story is that Bryan Fuller approached NBC and said he felt episode 4 — whose main plot involves Molly Shannon as a woman who trains children to kill other children — was inappropriate after the Boston bombings, though as Deadline pointed out, NBC had announced the scheduling change before the bombings, suggesting a pre-existing unease with the episode. (It's the only one of the first 6 that critics weren't sent in advance.) And »

Watch: 'Hannibal' 'Cannibalizes' the Episode Pulled Due to the Boston Bombing, Turns It Into a Web Series
25 April 2013 9:12 AM, PDT | Indiewire | See recent Indiewire news »
"Ceuf," which would have been the fourth episode of Bryan Fuller's rather good if extremely gory NBC series "Hannibal," was pulled due to the Boston bombing last week. Fuller wanted "to be sensitive to where we are as a nation," according to the network's announcement, and decided it was better not to air the installment, which was centered around a storyline in which guest star Molly Shannon played a character who brainwashes children to kill other children. Instead, "Hannibal" will continue right to its fifth episode tonight, Thursday, April 25th, at 10pm with no reported major continuity issues. To bridge the gap, NBC is now offering up portions of "Ceuf" online, with the Shannon plot excised, as a web series to show the developing personal relationship between Mads Mikkelsen's Hannibal Lecter (who's not yet been revealed as a serial killer himself) and the other characters, particularly the daughter »

'Hannibal' after Boston: What happens when TV networks try to be 'sensitive' to tragic events
25 April 2013 8:01 AM, PDT | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »
Tonight’s episode of Hannibal dramatizes a timely theme: Our response – and responsibility – to human suffering, natural or unnatural. Caution: Spoilers ahead. “Coquilles” introduces us to two people who’ve been diagnosed with terminal cancer. They choose to cope with their illness in different ways, neither way healthy. One character keeps it a secret from her husband because she’s doesn’t want to burden him, creating more dissonance in an already strained marriage. Another character, made monstrous by his disease (and perhaps other manipulative influences), forces his burden onto others in a bizarre, brutal way, with a convoluted justification »

'Hannibal's' Pulled Episode Now Available Online As Webseries
24 April 2013 11:52 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Although NBC pulled "Hannibal's" fourth episode, titled "Ceuf," due to the Boston and Newtown tragedies, fans are now able to see the episode's key plot-driven moments as part of a newly released "webseries."
Executive Producer Bryan Fuller admitted on Friday that he began conversations with NBC executives several weeks ago regarding his hesitation over airing the episode. The episode's original "case of the week" focused on a woman, played by guest star Molly Shannon, who brainwashes children to kill their families, which Fuller deemed insensitive in light of the recent violence in Sandy Hook and Boston.
In order to avoid continuity issues, the episode was edited down into six parts focusing specifically on the character interplay -- particularly between Hannibal Lecter (Mads Mikkelsen) and Abigail Hobbs (Kacey Rohl) -- while avoiding any potentially upsetting content relating to the Molly Shannon storyline.

While many know Clark Gregg for his work as the most beloved tertiary character in a multi-billion-dollar mega-movie-franchise, not everyone may be aware that the actor who played Agent Coulson in the Marvel films also has a knack for writing and directing.

Good morning!
I'm sad to report The Palms is closing. That's the L.A. lesbian bar Jenny Schecter and Dana Fairbanks ended up at alone together and then went back to Jenny's studio and failed to get it on.
Tomorrow marks the tragic anniversary of the still-unsolved murder of Noxolo Nogwaza, a South African lesbian activist. She was a victim of corrective rape, and was attacked by a group of eight men on her way home from spending time with friends. Tweet your support of justice for Noxolo tomorrow.
I am still bummed that Bomb Girls wasn't renewed for a full third season, and it looks like I'm not alone.

Tribeca 2013: “Trust Me” cleverly combines satire and film noir
22 April 2013 10:23 PM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
USA, 2012
Written and Directed by Clark Gregg
From the first shot of Trust Me, Clark Gregg makes it obvious that his satirical picture owes a huge debt to Sunset Boulevard. Both are film noirs set in Hollywood that concern themselves with female actors clawing desperately at fame, but each is told from an opposite end of the spectrum. Billy Wilder’s classic memorably depicts an aging has-been desperate to reclaim her former glory, and Trust Me follows an up-and-coming starlet willing to go to any lengths to obtain celebrity. And the allusions just pile on after that.
Of course, neither of these films centers on the starlet. They are about the loveable losers cajoled into assisting their respective benefactors chase their lofty dreams. Clark Gregg plays the loser in Trust Me. His character, Howard, is a former child actor and current agent to child actors, who is accustomed to losing clients to bigger, »

NBC's 'Hannibal' previews, skips episode 4 (Videos)
22 April 2013 7:44 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
NBC yanked episode 4 of its serial killer drama "Hannibal" out of sensitivity to recent violence. The episode that was to air next week features a character, played by guest star Molly Shannon, who brainwashes children to kill other children. "Hannibal" executive producer Bryan Fuller asked NBC to pull the episode, citing the Newtown, Conn., school shooting in December and this week's Boston Marathon attack, according to NBC. Fuller reportedly was prompted by Newtown and reinforced by Monday's Boston bombings. The episode, the fourth for the freshman series, will be replaced by another "Hannibal" episode. "Hannibal" stars Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen as the title character, the brilliant killer seen on the big screen in "The Silence of the Lambs" and »
