Is it just me, or is The Life Aquatic Wes Anderson doing Moby Dick?
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Buffista Movies 3: Panned and Scanned
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Yeah, Guy Maddin did this. Haven't you seen his movies, Jilli? He did Tales From the Gimli Hospital which I'd expect to be current on the goth circuit.
I've never heard of him before. It's entirely possible I have seen bits and pieces of his movies as backdrops at gothy clubs, however.
Okay, I think it's called Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary directed by Guy Maddin and it is indeed a filmed version of the Royal Winnipeg Ballet's performance of Dracula turned into a silent film.
It's out on DVD.
screeeeeeaaaaams, scampers off to Amazon

It's on half.com for $19. I guess I know what I'll be spending my allowance on in the near future.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
I saw the ballet live (the film was done separately). Johnny Zhang? Sexiest Dracula evah.
I think Jilli might like Archangel or Saddest Music in the World best of Maddin's stuff.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Entertainment Weekly has a bit on the stage version of Bram's Drac this week. I tried to read it, got Keanu flashbacks and had to stop. Can I sue? I think I should be able to sue.

Mate A Movie Posters. I'm not sure which is my favourite -- Pillage, perhaps. The Trainspotter?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
This week's has a DVD w/ the first episode of Jack and Bobby in it. Which makes me wonder -- if nobody tunes into the premiere, will the WB assume that they all saw it already and go by the 2nd ep's ratings, or just cancel it that much sooner?
