Are the Lambs Still Screaming?

 from Olden Oasis


Ever wonder what really went down between Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster during the filming of 'Silence of the Lambs'? Well, buckle up, because it's quite the story.

Hopkins, diving deep into his role as Hannibal Lecter, took method acting to a whole new level. His commitment was so intense it left Jodie Foster on edge throughout the shoot. Imagine being in her shoes, facing Hopkins' piercing stares that seemed to look right through you. He even whispered his lines in that bone-chilling Lecter voice, making her skin crawl.


Foster, ever the professional, played along brilliantly. But let's be honest, having Hannibal Lecter fix his gaze on you like you're next on his menu? That's some serious psychological warfare. Hopkins wanted to create an atmosphere of unpredictability and danger, and he nailed it. Jodie later admitted that his unnerving portrayal actually helped her stay in character and deliver a powerful performance.


Remember that infamous line, "A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti"? Hopkins delivered it with such eerie precision that it became an unforgettable moment in cinema history.


Despite the unsettling tension on set, Hopkins and Foster developed a deep respect and admiration for each other. Their collaboration brought out the best in both, resulting in one of the most iconic duos ever seen on screen.


Hopkins' dedication might have spooked Jodie Foster, but it undeniably added an extra layer of authenticity to their performances. Hats off to him for giving us one of the creepiest and most memorable characters ever.

Hell is not Hot Enough

from: Kriss Odom 🚨*Graphic Content Warning  Wesley Davis has been charged with murder in the First Degree. No mother should have to hold her child as she is hooked up to machines that are tracking her last breaths. Ava Anne Marie Tabor was taken from this world. She didn’t lose her life, her life was taken from her, in the most vicious and cruel way.  Wesley Davis was watching Ava when she “wasn’t listening” as he stated, and he began to attack her. Yes you read that correctly. He lifted her frail 2 year old body up and threw her around the room for 30 minutes straight. Slamming her against walls, furniture, and anything else in sight. For 30 minutes she was brutally attacked by this animal. For 30 minutes she lived in pure pain and agony at the hands of this subhuman monster.  Ava’s body was covered in bruises, head to toe, her brain received so much trauma it bled on itself to a point that mimicked a massive stroke. Her brain died due to the amount of bleeding the trau...

Money For Nothing

      Did you think MAGA would just go away? Did the carefully constructed articles and main stream news spots make you believe that LBTGQ was 85% of the population? Did you concern yourself about which pronoun is correct when addressing a child? Congratulations! You will not leave anything of lasting value when your family drops you off at the graveyard!   All hit records have a meteoric rise. “ Money For Nothing ” sprang out of nowhere and within a week my own sister asked me if I’d heard that song and I knew exactly which song she was talking about. With his bare feet and truncated guitar style, Mark Knopfler cemented a melody into the public consciousness that would make Mozart roll over in his grave if it weren’t so overcrowded. Now, decades later, my grandchildren have never heard the song.   So what makes some ideas, movements, or sometimes simple statements survive the test of time while others become difficult to recall in less than a generation? And i...
