He takes the poncho off the dying confederate soldier he lets take a drag off his cigarette/cigar, that's after he gave the soldier his coat.

The only place in town I ever went to was that bar... we lived really close to the overpass road that took us straight to the base. I remember the night Allen was going to hit, it was suppose to move inland around Brownsville but when we woke up at 5 am it was 15 mile south of Kingsville. We got in the car and speeded to the base... no one was at the gate so we went straight to my office which was a hurricane building. Dropped the wife off and parked the car across the street and literally crawled back to the office door the winds were so fierce. Kingsville was okay but I wouldn't go back. My ex is still there somewhere, may she rot in peace.

Back on topic... saw Hannibal Rising Friday. Wasn't quite what I expected for storyline but was still good compared to the others. It explained a lot, if your a Hannibal fan, it's a must see. I'd give it 3 stars out 4.

Ringo - I used to bartend part-time at the EM Club and got asked to bartend at a function at the King Ranch once. Boy was that a night to remember. The PX never was anything special.

There used to be a hangout on the north side of town, a C&W bar ran by a retired Navy Chief and his wife. We used to hangout there and the band was the Chief and some of his C&W friends.

The town wasn't much when I was there in 1980 - 1982. Plus a hurricane went through Kingsville in 1981 when I lived there. Old lady Kleberg was still alive back then and I think the county north of Kingsville was still dry. Nothing happened unless she gave the word.

I used to be stationed in Kingsville so you must be talking about Huntsville.

This from what I'm reading is the 4th in the series and the last. it's come full circle now starting with "Silence of the Lambs" then "Hannibal" then "Red Dragon" and now "Hannibal Rising". If you had to put them in chronological order of Hannibal's life it would be:

Hannibal Rising - While he was young.
Red Dragon - During his killing spree.
Silence of the Lambs - During incarceration, then escaped.
Hannibal - After escape and came back to torment the FBI.

Almost like the Godfather, they did them in the wrong order.

"Silence of the Lambs" was a very intense movie. My wife is kind of a serial killer buff so both of us like those kinds of movies. And some people don't. I just like the fact that a lot of unanswered questions about Hannibal are going to be answered in this movie. The fact is, there are people out there like that. I reda on the news today that it's possible they found a link between Jeffrey Dahmer and Adam Walsh. Dahmer could have been his killer.

Yes, the grusome details of his childhood, time in an orphanage, death of his parents and other sorted details of how he became the way he is.

Synopsis:
The monster Hannibal Lecter's formative years. These experiences as a child and young adult led to his remarkable contribution to the fields of medicine, music, painting and forensics. We begin in World War II at the medieval castle in Lithuania built by Dr. Lecter's forebear, Hannibal the Grim. The child Hannibal survives the horrors of the Eastern Front and escapes the grim Soviet aftermath to find refuge in France with the widow of his uncle, mysterious and beautiful Japanese descended from Lady Murasaki Shikibu, author of the Tale of Genji. Her kind and wise attentions help him understand his unbearable recollections of the war. Remembering, he finds the means to visit the outlaw predators that changed him forever as they battened on helpless during the collapse of the Eastern Front. Hannibal helps these war criminals toward self-knowledge even as we see his own nature become clear to him.

How many have seen the trailers? How many are running to see the movie this Friday? It looks as if this movie is going to explain a lot of unanswered questions. Wife and I can't wait... besides westerns, I LOVE HORROR movies.
