Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Uhm, he already was the most fantastically ironic Dracula ever.

He has been, Mr. Broom. Love at First Bite. Which I believe is newly out on DVD, but I saw in the theater.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I remember lots of girls swooning over Langella in the movie. I liked him, and especially his wonderful deep voice, but not one of my big crushes.

That particular film Dracula was based on the stage play with the Gorey sets from the 70s, with Langella as the lead. I saw it on Broadway with Raul Julia as Dracula and he was awesome.

Wow. That would have been fabulous.

The first act ends with Dracula sweeping in through the giant French doors and scooping her up in his arms and the lights go black and there was an audible gasp from the womenfolk of sheer, carnal desire.

It was my first Broadway show.

Raul Julia, so wonderful. The BF worked with him at the NY Shakespeare festival and had nothing but good to say about him.

A little H-wood gossip: A friend had a job interview for a tech position with Christopher Guest and Guest asked him if he got along with actors. He said "I worked with your wife, you can ask her." At this point Guest (who is a pretty serious and shy guy IRL) smiled and said "Well, she gets along with everyone." Nice to hear him bragging on Jamie Lee like that.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I saw Raul Julia in a revival of Man of La Mancha about a year before he died. He was pretty awesome. So magnetic.
