The 1977 BBC production COUNT DRACULA, with Louis Jourdan as the Count, attempts to faithfully render Stoker's novel. It's quite good, with vintage-y '70s-era effects and vampire ladies.

Guess I'm an old, and an old of open-minded parents: I only watched late-night cable on the sly - the old kind of cable boxes with the loud push buttons on top, scared my folks could hear it from their bedroom upstairs - and watched '70s/'80s softcore Euro flicks with Sylvia Kristel and Harlee McBride. My parents…

One of the finest and yet most unheralded buddy movies ever. Watching Gould and Segal become pals was terrific fun. I practically want to live in this movie (same goes, of course, for THE LONG GOODBYE). Alas, the two charming women in CALIFORNIA SPLIT, Gwen Welles and Ann Prentiss (yes, Paula's sister), met tragic…

SHOOT THE MOON is indeed fantastic, with terrific work from all actors, especially the late Dana Hill, who gives one of the great, yet unheralded, child performances.

I fucking hate Neal Pollack's "rendition" of a Ramones song in NEVER MIND THE POLLACKS. As if the Ramones would ever sing about used condoms. Has he even ever *heard* a Ramones song?

Michael McDowell's paperback original family saga BLACKWATER.

Began with Franju's "Les yeux sans visage." Not the Billy Idol song.

Nothing? Not even a word of praise for the lovely lamented Soledad Miranda?

This dude is going to the wrong bars.

That scene is almost from another movie. Like SUSPIRIA.

Yes, it's spectacular. And I love hearing that Gould loves it to and still wants to do a sequel!

Yes, I have heard of this. I wait/bartend and various specialty cocktails my restaurant has can be served up or on the rocks. When I inform people of the choice, men invariably order their drink on the rocks. I think it's because *most* "girly" drinks are served in martini glasses that people assume *all* drinks in…

Gould and Segal in Altman's CALIFORNIA SPLIT might be my favorite buddy-duo in movies. Of course *that* film has an uncomfortable moment with a guy in drag too. As was said, it was the '70s…

I see he mentioned CINDERELLA LIBERTY - highly recommended, great '70s character movie with Marsha Mason.

I agree 100% with Tasha's take on Harlan Ellison. 100%! Even the short story collections, like STRANGE WINE and NO DOORS, NO WINDOWS, had his incredible intro essays that just blew open my teenage mind.

Horror movies with heartbreaking endings… more of this.

Many years ago I read an interview with Lee in which he stated how many interviewers would ask him about '70s blaxpoitation films, which of course were popular while he was at NYU. Lee couldn't get early interviewers to understand that he didn't care about blaxpoitation movies and didn't see them; at the time he was…

To not put too fine a point on it, this sucks. All this re-imagining of one pop culture artifact in the guise of another sucks. And surprise surprise, this guy's "flipping of gender roles" results in: big tits. Way to cut the edge, guy.

It's Baudelaire's birthday so yes, we should be pedantic on this of all days.

Graham Masterton's original novel is indeed a must-read if you like the movie. However, I read the book first and loved how sincerely over-the-top it was, just gung-ho horror weirdness with some Lovecraft and Native American mythology thrown in the mix. The movie of course leaves out some of the novel's terrific…
