Also, smart & funny, & she seems pretty cool, too.

Fixed it for ya, @SamPlays:disqus .

It is quite gorgeous to look at, especially the costumes.

Yeah, but overly hammy actually works for Van Helsing in this particular iteration.

Keanu Reeves is terrible in almost everything, unless the character is stolid and/or stoic. Neo? Ted? Cop from Speed? He's perfect. Otherwise…not so much.

You know, when it came out in '92*, I saw it in the theater & really enjoyed it—I was kind of blown away, actually, especially by Gary Oldman. Years later I bought it on video (still VHS days, not yet DVD), & was really excited to revisit it, and…meh. I have to conclude that I was dazzled by the visuals & by…

Are you talking about the refurbished theater in downtown Silver Spring, MD? We lived in SS for 6 years (up by the White Oak Shopping Center), & I was really excited for the old Silver Theater's facelift. We ended up moving to the Twin Cities in 2000, so I've never gotten to see a movie there. We've been back once…

Jesus, why the hell would anybody WANT that?

Apparently the origins of the word are obscure. Stoker used it, but of course this film really popularized it. And while it's true that Emily Gerard (your "British woman") used it in a book about Transylvania in 1888, nosferatu appears at least as early as 1865 in a German journal article. It's usually played off…

That, and Hollywood is almost completely out of original ideas.

I doubt they were completely unaware of the guy's credibility, but they were just so committed to the narrative they wanted to tell that they just went with it. Despite what Logan claims, 60 Minutes isn't the bastion of truth it used to be.

I don't get it.

I still don't see how the existence of these sites LOSES anybody any money. Sure, the lyrics sites themselves make some $$ from ads, but how does that affect the bottom line of the lyricist, songwriter, publisher, or label? In fact, time spent perusing lyrics sites might inspire the reader to go out & buy some…

Less than three goosebumps? That's not very thrilling.

What the world needs now is another NMPA associate like I need a hole in my head.

Is that seriously the same David Lowery? I assumed Eakin was joking.

And they can't even seem to figure out that reading lyrics online might make THEM money. I mean, if I'm looking at songs I'm curious about, it might inspire me to buy them. So, it's possible that lyrics sites might make them money, but I don't see how these sites could LOSE them money.

So, not that different from the show, then.
