DIED. Ian Richardson, 72, veteran Scottish actor whose rich portrayals of Shakespearean schemers set the tone for his most famous role, the immoral British Parliament member Francis Urquhart on British TV's satirical cult hit House of Cards; of unknown causes; in London. As an oily politician, he created a catchphrase used for reporters and others--and jokingly cited by real-life leaders worldwide. "You may very well say that," he would answer an inquisitor before quickly adding, "I couldn't possibly comment...
...next most popular site visited is Wikipedia, which tells us that some searchers are interested in the biology, psychology and philosophy of love as written in a communally agreed-upon encyclopedic tone. Fourth in love is the mysterious lovecalculator.com. The site, which claims to be designed by Dr. Love himself, estimates your chances for a successful match based on you and your mate's name. After nearly 10 years of marriage, my wife and I scored an impressive 87% chance of success, so obviously it's scientifically accurate...
...When Decker attempted to comment on the matter further, Simmons moved that the council vote on the matter immediately.

...this could conceivably be of interest if the movie had the dash, the wit, the silky threat of the mature Hannibal Lecter. But he's missing, as is Anthony Hopkins. So Webber takes his cue for pacing and tone from the young Hannibal. Alas. As played by Gaspard Ulliel, he's just a gawky, monosyllabic adolescent. You get hints of Hannibal's empathy - his gift at mind- and heart-reading - and the briefest pass at his fascination with culinary matters. But this Hannibal is hardly even a rough sketch for the later Lecter. Indeed, he's virtually unrecognizable...
...other, just preceding Hannibal's first murder, is the flash of a smile before his face goes blankly ferocious and he proceeds with his butchering. But these are two moments in two hours, and Webber has no other epiphanies to offer. As Girl With the Pearl Earring showed, his tone is contemplative; he has neither the skills nor the taste for the spasms of violence or sexual displays that would zazz up the movie. Poor Hannibal Rising: it lacks even redeeming prurient interest. What's the point of a vegetarian cannibal...
