    There is still interest in the show, enough to do specials from time to time I think. It's a heck of a gimmick if you ask me. Risks and costs are lower than producing a full season and there will be a market for the DVDs and BluRays later.

      I saw this one where he was also in but bad movie IMO:
      http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1321861
      Was surprised to see him though.
      I am not watching more tv series currently though, just one Hannibal, and that's ok. But I will add 24 to my list 🙂

        I think you might have Stephen Dorff confused with Keifer Sutherland. 🙂
        And yes, that does look like a terrible movie.

          Oh wow I swear I thought they were the same guy 🙂
          Is Kiefer better than Stephen? Their most popular movies shown on their IMDB page don't seem better than the other.

            Neither are very accomplished actors but I think Sutherland may have an edge having made more A list movies than Dorff. Sutherland was in the very good sci-fi feature "Dark City". If you haven't seen it, look it up on IMDB.

              Yes I saw Dark City, it was very good. Definitely a great movie, and soundtrack 🙂

                Sutherland was the gimpy mad scientist in that movies. I particularly like the scene where he injected the training program into Rufus Sewell's mind and he starts learning in fast forward.

                  Yeah I remember him clearly. That actress was on a pier in 3 different movies by 3 different directors which is also very interesting.
                  I also liked Dark Water by her but it's not as good of course.

                    Jennifer Connelly - She is forever associated with the very uninteresting 2003 "Hulk" movie.

                      I never make that connection but yeah that wasn't a very good movie.

                        That was the first time I saw the super skinny Jennifer Connelly so "Hulk" is forever ingrained in my mind as the point of reference. She was so much better looking before she hopped on the anorexic bandwagon.
                        It didn't help that "Hulk" was terrible.

                          I think I saw her in Requiem for a Dream. House of Sand of Fog is awesome though, amazing movie.

                            I haven't seen those titles. Isn't Requiem for a Dream about drug addicts?

                                So have you seen any episodes of the current "24" series? What do you think if you have?

                                  No I haven't. Right now since Hannibal is finished, I don't have any series I follow.
                                  I found some seasons online but it's gonna be hard to gather them all I guess. I had the same issue with Lost seasons. But this is like 2x more season I think.

                                    OK, I've procured a copy of "Requiem For A Dream" and watched the first 5 minutes of the movie where the loser runs off with his mothers TV to buy drugs. I was really hoping a bus would run him over and when it didn't happen, I turned the movie off. You sure this is the correct movie you want me to see?

                                      Yes that should be the one 🙂 It's depressing and I would say inspiring for anti-drug usage. I prefer House of Sand and Fog though.

                                        OK, I finally sat through the whole movie and yes, it is depressing as hell. Except for the mother who is a victim of circumstances (ie: lonely with no reason to live), the other main characters deserved what they got. I hated Jennifer Connelly's character, there was nothing redeeming about her at all.
                                        My personal feeling aside, Requiem for a Dream has a strong and very dark message to convey. Watching such movies put some people out of their comfort zones. As a non-drug user, I don't see the attraction for its use. I think the movie fell short in this area, that is not developing backgrounds for the characters. I would have like to have been introduced to the characters early on and learn what drove/tempted them into drug use.

                                          Definitely I would like to see more character development as well. Right now I am not watching anything. I watched Rome series that was barely OK.
                                          I got many seasons of 24. I might watch that if I can find some time.
