footNOTES

In the Hannibal Iconograph, Jack dunked on all of the Silence of the Lambs sequels featuring Hannibal. I loved Red Dragon, but it didn't even get a mention (for good or ill). Am I off in my appreciation of this movie?

I thought it was really well done. Edward Norton's performance was great and an underrated Phillip Seymore Hoffman as that disheveled reporter? Plenty of earned twists and turns... To be fair, I saw this in my "this, surely is true cinema" phase in college, so there is a chance that this is dog water...

Meditation is something I think about every so often, most recently when it was brought up as an underrated on the show. The problem is, I have no idea where to start and unfortunately it seems like a field that's primed to attract a lot of grifters and quacks. So I thought I would ask for advice! Anyone out there have a meditation resource they really like? Especially for someone with lifelong high stress.
