| lolita said: [rant] Twilight is a stupid fanfiction that claims to be a great novel. It was made by an awful woman who thinks she is a great author. Basically it's filled with teen romance between a stupid and shallow teenage girl and some sparklepires. There's shallow Cinderella type dreams of being with those sparklepires and wanting to be one of them just cause they're pretty. Loads of sexual tensions between (not) Bella and Ed(wart) but focuses on abstinence. How the hell did something horrible like this got published? =_= And also, for some reason tweens go crazy over it... BLEH!!! |
I like Dracula the novel better than most of the films. But, I really think Christopher Lee was the best cinematic Dracula. I know people said it was Bela Lugosi, but he always looks small in those filmst o me personally and Christopher Lee always cuts an imposing figure (even in later films like The Lord of the Rings and as Count DuKu (sp) in the modern Star Wars movies.
I enjoy most of the Hammer-Lee Dracula films even the later ones like Satanic Rites of Dracula and Dracula 1972 that a lot of people try to pan. Probably the best one is either Horror of Dracula or Blood of Dracula. I regret that I left Hammer's adaptation of Carmilla off my list, but I only had 10 spots. Blood and Roses is also a great film.
The Langella Dracula is a sparklepire (never heard that term before actually) movie, but there's some real heat between Langella and Nelligan in that film in my opinion. It was probably the first movie I ever saw of that type. I watched it for the first time on The Movie Channel when I was quite young, and kind of like the seventies King Kong it has been getting more critical praise as it ages.
Heavens to Murgatoids.
