Same, really fell flat for me. Very average dialogue writing (I wonder how much that was influenced by the original), way too much screen time of the lead actress having creepy freakouts, Dafoe and the mad banker’s performances underwhelmed.
Though some amazing scenes, particularly the first encounter with the Count. I wonder how much the problems were caused by adherence to the original (which I haven’t seen). I would much rather have seen Eggers’ take on an original vampire story based on traditional folklore.
Talks about real art being unique and then goes and draws the most generic, cliched furry shit that looks exactly like a million others.
I had a blast, full of beer, ritalin and weed, debunking the creationism and 9/11 conspiracies, jamming with my 8 year old niece with her new karaoke mic and my new midi controller. Good times.
This isn’t true, people claimed that her husband (also a breakdancer) was part of the selectrion commitee but that is false.
The Australian women’s breakdancing contestant performed an absolutely inexplicable routine with no breakdancing in it and just a bunch of random body movements and extreme weirdness. Her official explanation is that she knew she couldn’t compete with the younger, more athletic contestants (she’s like 40) so she decided to compete with creativity, but I’m sure there’s something else going on. My theory is that she had something like a panic attack and was basically out of her head and got all these weird ideas and had a freak out.
He’s riding that curve like one of those surfing dogs.
Good relationships are balanced, relaxed and effortless. This sounds unbalanced, neurotic and exhausting.
