Everyone was content watching The Cosby Show and then one day some kind of weird, art house cinema suddenly appears on their screen disguised as a TV show.

Fax machines. GOD did I hate fax machines. I was a file clerk in an office for five years and LOATHED that damn machine. Good riddance.
Thanks for the link to the Art Adams cover; I love that guy's work most of the time, and this ridiculous/awesome combo is RIGHT up his alley! How someone can balance so much detail with just as much whimsy is completely beyond me.
We have to take into accout that the only thing clouding the Van Helsing Dracula from being #1, is that the dude who played Frankenstein was HAMMING it up to the point where Jewish people couldn't watch it and remain Kosher. The guy at one point may have actually started to eat the set.
Im not gonna lie though, the right hand/left hand of God thing was an interesting (maybe the only interesting) part of that movie. I wish they would have explored that instead of...whatever the plot was in the movie. (Vampire infertility treatments?)
As terrible as this movie was (and it was so bad it's the only movie I've ever walked out on and demanded my money back), Van Helsing's version of Dracula was probably the most terrible part. I recall thinking that Count Chocula was a more terrifying vampire than this cream puff.
Actually, Van Helsing stands as maybe the only movie where the "Brides" are characters in their own right, and for that I actually sort of like it. They were strong and sexy and drove the plot in a way that no other character did.
Thank you. Van Helsing was on the other night and I was thinking the Vampire chicks shouldve been the stars. Dracula looked like a damn hairdresser. Other than Gary Oldman Dracula, No Dracula should EVER look like a hairdresser.
I feel like Van Helsing's Dracula needs to occupy more than one slot in this list, or people might mistakenly assume he's merely as bad as the others on this list. No, he was in a class all his own; so campy and over-the-top loony that I expected him to start singing showtunes while letting his batbabies drink from…

Funny that Nolan is making a movie about the human race using technology to advance beyond the solar system, he is kind of screwing theaters that have new technology.
I'm on the committee of our local film society, and the more old school members didn't take at all kindly to the disappearance of film from our programme but the simple fact is that good quality prints were increasingly hard to source, and now it's just not even an option. We're offered films in digital or disc…
But Nolan and Paramount themselves see the move as preserving the traditions of the moviegoing experience in the face of the digital expansion of the industry -
I think this whole idea is beyond stupid. Look, i get the love for old film prints. I really do. i worked in 4 movie theaters over my life, and nothing says "Film" then the filmatic look you can only get with good old fashion film reel prints. Does it look better? Thats totally debatable. In my mind, IF YOUR GOING FOR…
Thundar the Barbarian gave me my love of weird, post-apocalyptic style stuff. Vine-covered cities, mutants, magic...
And the more stupid of liberals got a new nonsense argument to claim against conservatives,this is a place of science both fiction and non, please take your failed attempts of rhetoric somewhere else.
I loved the Schoolhouse Rock series as a kid.
