Now tagless for your comfort.
I am very glad I saw it for free.
I'm sad. But I can't say I'm surprised by Michael Bay.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So why give it to Michael Bay, Mr. Spielberg? Why?
Because Bay makes The Summer Movie--pretty, loud, mindless, exciting, cool-looking, non-challenging. That's what he does. The guy is a money machine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So why give it to Michael Bay, Mr. Spielberg? Why?
He wanted to make sure it didn't outshine Minority Report?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I think Louis Jordan absolutely nailed the role in the BBC Dracula,
Matt beat me to it. And it was a miniseries, so they had more time to be faithful to the text and to develop the characters. Jack Shepherd's Renfield was memorable, too.

move out and draw fire
Daughters of Darkness
This movie goes down in history as the first vampire movie I turned off and left halfway through. Bo.Ring.
Well, okay, I did try to walk out of the theater during Coppola's Dracula, but couldn't get around the sleeping fat man.

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce
Coppola himself was at the screening and you still tried to walk out?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
And Anne Parillaud in "Innocent Blood." sexay.
Oh yes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
From way back, I know Ben Foster from his Flash Forward days, but they'd have to clean him up a lot to make him look like a Warren Worthington III.

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