Auteur Watch - James Jib Brown

 Well, he's still a young guy with a whole career ahead of him.  As you can see, he's got but the two credits as of this writing, with more to come.  "The Device" is a new TV show about a group of scientists who finally figure out string theory, but just before they're ready to present their findings to the world, why not use their new-found knowledge to travel through the time holes in the universe, go back in time, and steal from Napoleon?  Oh wait... that's the plot of something else.  The something else that James Jib Brown is also known for... there's a redundancy somewhere.  Can someone give me a Grammerlee account?  Anyway, the other title he's known for is something called The Cannibal's Liver, and I suppose if you eat a lot of gymnasts or swimmers, it's probably a pretty clean liver.  But if you hang out in a seedy bar, and trap and eat a lot of alcoholics, well... as they say, you are what you eat!  Reminds me, I gotta check out and see if Amazon has the new Ultra-4K Blu-Ray of the 2001 Ridley Scott version of Hannibal, which I can only assume exists.
