What is even happening?

I remember thinking Bram Stoker's Dracula was weird, but kind of enjoying the weirdness. Scott and I went to see that when we were dating. We went to a late showing, and a mother had her toddler there, which seemed wrong on several fronts.

Randolph Scott played the handsome stranger in My Favorite Wife. Which was remade in the early '60s as Move Over Darling, with Doris Day and James Garner.

This I knew. I remember Move Over Darling too.

Trivia -- the remake was originally intended as a Marilyn Monroe vehicle titled Something's Got to Give. Some filming was done (I've seen footage of a scene with Monroe in a swimming pool.), but it was never completed because Monroe was fired and then died not long after.

This I did not know, or at least did not remember. Poor Marilyn. IMDb has an entry on it. [link]

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Cindy - the IMdb you linked to was the movie I was thinking of.

edited to add: I enjoyed Bram Stoker's Dracula - it was a little crazy, but lush. A friend sort of wrinkled her nose at it and called it soft-core pron ... and I don't really see a problem with that.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

The Dracula movie is inextricably linked to Meatloaf's "I Would Do Anything For Love" video in my head. ETA: Which then segue's to Bonnie Tyler's "I Need A Hero," and then to Weird Al Yankovich, in some way...

Bram Stoker's Dracula

Soooo pretty. Soooo ridiculous.

Venom is a twisted Rom-Com.

Venom is slash fic .

Venom isn't really what you'd call a "good" movie, but it's an unexpectedly delicious morsel of gay ambiguously-male-coded relationship comedy

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Well, that actually increases my desire to see it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Let's hear it for Tom Hardy, the man who launched Inception fandom.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

This is the most interested I've ever been in seeing Venom

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I saw a photo of Tom Hardy on the red carpet for the opening of Venom. He was making friends with Security ... a golden retriever. It seemed to be love at first - deep - sight.

Are you sure it wasn't really Chris Evans?

(ETA the retriever, that is. I'm sure Toddson can distinguish between a Chris and a Tom)
