Jonathan Harker -- is *supposed* to be a wimpy dork
But was he supposed to be a wimpy wooden dork with a lousy accent?
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I could actually buy wooden as part of the character.
Point on the lousy accent, though.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tom Waits was my favorite actor in that movie.
Gary Oldman's Dracula was just... weird.

I thought Keanu was perfect for The Matrix because he dumbed down all the high-concept stuff to the audience level (esp. in the second one). "Blah blah philosophy blah blah metaphysics", and Keanu's all, "Oh, so you mean blah". He's like ADiversion!Legolas, but actually useful.

In non-Keanu news, I finally got around to catching Takeshi Kitano's ZATOICHI, and I must say, Jim was right. I appologize again to anyone who may have read my post before the spoiler got white-fonted, and thank ita again for getting that done since I didn't get back in a timely manner.
Definitely the most delightfully strange samurai movie I've ever seen.

I really want Tom Waits to be in the Pirates of the Caribbean sequel. Like, a lot.
Should I pay $100 to go to the premiere of the new John Waters movie? It's for a good cause...

Oh yeah. He's kind of always around.

Well, the cast is...interesting: Tracey Ullman, Johnny Knoxville (!), Chris Isaak and Selma Blair.
I know Waters is a hugely entertaining speaker, but not sure if that will come into play if he's just introducing the film.
