My recollection of Ole' Drac also includes seeing, some time back a while ago, surprisingly on PBS, a mini-series version of Dracula that had Louis Jourdan as the vampire. I was not sure whether my...

I don't dismiss subjective ratings at all, but I do cast doubt on the validity of supposed objectivity for anything that's not a measurement based on a benchmarked scale. Schools are a prime example....

We shouldn't have mentioned Horror Express here. A couple days ago, I looked it up on Prime Video and it was free; I watched a couple minutes of that cheesy horror. Today, they want me to pay. ...

Wow. Among the last things I can imagine being a topic for presumed "objectivity" is a movie. It's right up there with music and art. It's yours and my right to like it or not based on completely...

I do know what both are, but I'm seriously dubious about the ability of humans to rise to that self-aggrandizing goal of "objectivity". Everybody, me included, brings their own axe to grind, their...

Re: Documentaries

Celebrate the change of the season, catch a wave with the most carefree of all documentaries, the 1960's The Endless Summer. It's the movie that made every teenager, even if they lived in Iowa, want...

Yeah, for sure, but often the language of the question prejudices the answer. It's like those "when did you stop beating up your partner" kind of questions. "Can it EVER" casts doubt right from the...

Yee gods. I had forgotten about Telly. Generally his performances were slimier and more reptilian than the monster.

I need to revisit Horror Express. I saw it a long time ago and found it disappointing, but since I can stream it for free on Amazon, it might be worth checking out again. As I recall, HE was late...

Re: Nosferatu - 2024

Cool. Having been around the block with a lot of vampire and Dracula movies in my life, and assuming that no movie is all the close to the book, much less history, it seems like it will be sort of a...

This is a rough one....Ghostlight - A "tiny" film, in the sense of a minimal budget, zero FX, no actor you have probably heard of and sets that really do look like someone's living room.

It's not much of a source of income for me, more of a pat on the back. People who do that to make a living have to work much harder at it than I'm willing to do. I have no illusions about it, but...

Re: What are your top three re-watchable tv series?

More than 3 but what comes to mind immediately is the old Twilight Zone, the original The Outer Limits and Perry Mason episodes.

TZ had great writers, rampant tragic irony and The Outer Limits did...

I sell them online under a different pseudonym, on a site called Fine Art America. They do all of the grunt work (printing, shipping, framing, etc) and you take a cut in the final price. I'm...

Re: What do watch more? New Movies vs Old movies you haven't seen?

Old movies (2 or 3 each week, whether or not they are new to me) are more numerous, but always at least one new movie in a theater each week. Going out in the city, getting dinner and a movie is a...

I don't think I'm going to buy a new player to see one movie. My guess is that A 24 will have to decide whether they want people to see their movies. Telling them that they need a new player is...

Re: The Zone of Interest (2023)

Here's the Variety scuttlebutt; it seems as though political statements, right or wrong, have a way of blowing back in the face of the person making the statement. You're probably safer at just...

Re: Removing watermarks from videos, best methods?

Try a low tech solution, like telling your brain to ignore it. Our brains do that all the time to stuff that seems inessential, like how you don't notice the flowers when you're being stalked by the...

Re: Incontrovertible proof that Tom Cruise is a vampire

Sucking the life blood out of every franchise he's been involved with counts as being a vampire.

I'll probably just wait a while. Sooner or later, whatever is going on here will probably resolve. It is a strange story and I'm as interested in the machinations as I am in the movie.

Re: Can a Prequel EVER be a Good Film?

Not joining into the bickering about the topic, I'd just revert to language. "Can a prequel EVER be a good film?"....of course it can. Who can say that it can't? EVER is a real long time and,...
