Sometimes I miss Coppola's Dracula, too. Say what you want about Dracula, but at least when he was in charge the horse carriages arrived on time.

I like how all three of Lucy's boyfriends give her a blood transfusion, PLUS Van Helsing. Guess she's type AB?

I should link the lampshading they did about that in "Dead and loving it", but it's just too awful a movie to bring back from the dead... If you have to only see 5 minutes of Dracula, make sure it's the introduction. Trust me on that one, it's something that must be seen.

Oh I'm a longtime fan of Coppola's Dracula movie. It's corny as hell and Keanu-tastic, but I saw it when I was like 13 or something and it always kind of stuck with me.

Thank god Putin was able to get back into office! Man's a goddamn criminal. You can take the man out of the KGB, but you can't take the KGB out of the man. Edit: Also, I'm going to go full-hipster and say that the best Dracula movie is Nosferatu.

Edit: Also, I'm going to go full-hipster and say that the best Dracula movie is Nosferatu. Nah. Best one is Vampire's Kiss starring Nicholas Cage, where he murders a woman with plastic vampire teeth, turns his couch upside down and pretends it's a coffin, and spends the last 30 minutes of the movie trying to get people to stab him in the chest with a piece of wood he broke off of a forklift pallet. "Thirst" is also a really good movie, but then again I'm biased because it's from glorious Corea.

The original 1923 silent one or the Klaus Kinski one? Both are pretty famous actually...

I maintain my opinion that Nicholas Cage is an absolute genius of an actor, but ONLY when he's acting completely insane. So in something like National Treasure or Con-Air, he's not all that great, but otherwise...

Me too, but I think your 13 is a bit different from my 13. I think a friend of mine showed it to me, the part with Dracula's daughters. Of course he fast forwarded to it, but I pushed him away and watched the whole thing. It is such a silly movie that takes itself so seriously. But then again any good vampire movie should. I love a good Vampire story. It's why I got into Castlevania. It is also why I got to spout shit against Twilight. I read them, they were awful and they just ruined Vampires in popular culture OT: I really like Interview with a Vampire. It is seriously one of my favorite movies of all time. Book was alright too.

I wasn't keen on the blatant homoeroticism of the Ann Rice books, but the first one was good enough. The movie was better. My main complaint with Coppola's Dracula film, though, was how they shoehorned in the reincarnated love story. Dracula works just fine as a story without having to say that the reason he wanted Mina was because she was his dead wife from hundreds of years ago.

Yeah, Lestat was hard to read honestly. Interview feels like lighting in a bottle in all honesty. All of Rice's good and bad bits coming together to make something really interesting. And as time goes on I do think the movie was far better.
I always forget that part. It seems so inconsequential anyway, I just ignore it. They seemed to never go anywhere after "hey she looks like my dead wife".

I had a hard time taking the movie seriously with Dracula looking the way he did. Young Dracula looked like a greaseball gypsy scumbag and old Dracula had his ridiculous "ass hair." Bela Lugosi or GTFO.
