Yeah but here me out. Rambo getting on a anti aircraft gun and moving down like 200 men and blowing them to pieces is loving amazing.

Yeah, I love the 2008 Rambo film. I remember seeing it at the theater and just being stunned at the violence. 2 and 3 are almost cartoonish compared to that one.

Shudder kept recommending I watch Elizabeth Harvest so I finally did. The pure exposition drop at the end is insane, it might be the most tell don't show I've ever seen Edit - That wasn't even the end, it was the middle. This movie was bad, messy. I'm fairly certain the only reason this movie got made is someone wanted to put Abbey Lee in a bunch of lingerie, dresses and nude and just threw a plot together around it. I mean, she's gorgeous so it's okay, but not enough Medullah fucked around with this message at 00:32 on Sep 4, 2023 |

Surprised how close the bodycount is between 3 and 4. Shows how much the latter benefits from advances in Goop Technology.

Always thought it was weird that Rambo was never shirtless in IV. It's his main thing, dude. I thought maybe Sly was self conscious about getting older and lumpier or something but then he was shirtless in a movie right after that and was crazy jacked.

Many 80s ones in particular are both ruthless enforcers of reactionary political thought so you don't even have to change much.

No, neither was Dracula being Vlad Tepes either. I think that one is all Francis Ford Coppola (the word "Dracula" was from texts about Vlad III but there's no evidence Stoker was particularly aware of that and he wasn't thought to be a vampire historically). I think the Judas thing is all Craven.

Yeah I think Stoker was aware there was a guy called Dracula and was maybe associated with Wallachia but I think that was kinda the extent of the knowledge he had about Vlad. The name "Dracula" doesn't even show up in the book until some really late drafts I think.

Draculachat means I get to pimp my favorite reason for the Public Domain to be massively expanded, Dracula:Unredacted, which is a straight reprint of the 1898 novel, but also... well...quote:Dracula is not a novel. It’s the censored version of Bram Stoker’s after-action report of the failed British Intelligence attempt to recruit and control the perfect asset — the ultimate weapon — Count Dracula. Kenneth Hite and Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan have restored the deleted characters and redacted information, inserting annotations and clues left by three generations of MI6 analysts. This is Dracula Unredacted. look at this genius poo poo:

Sherlock Holmes beat them to it in the 70s  Sherlock Holmes vs. Dracula posted:“BEFORE I begin my narrative, I feel that it is my duty to set the reader straight upon a number of erroneous statements made recently regarding the events therein described. I refer in particular to a spurious monograph which has enjoyed a certain amount of popularity since it first appeared some four months ago, authored by an Irishman by the name of Bram Stoker, and entitled Dracula.

LMAO at the main lead lady Dracula is after in Dracula 2000 works at a Virgin Megastore. Van Helsing shooting up with Dracula's blood taken from leeches that feed on him is pretty inspired as well. edit: Hrmm honestly I'm rewatching this and its not as bad and actually has some good parts.

I think Dracula 2000 needs a re-examine. I was prepared for a trash fire but taken as a direct homage to Hammer Horror of the 60s and 70s it really meets those standards. You've got a insane back story. Excellent upcoming actors. Very bloody. A actual honest attempt to add something to the Dracula mythos. Also its legit got some really great scenes. Dracula killing the camera guy. Dracula attack on the plane. Backstory of how they captured Dracula. Interesting scene where the police capture a vampire. Gerald Butler being super young and super hot.

I was just thinking that Dracula 1972 blows it out of the water. Give any Hammer director those actresses playing evil sexy vampires, they would have done so much better with that material.

I tried to watch So Above, So Below somewhat recently and also turned it off (I guess I DO have a threshold, huh...). I didn't realize it was going to be found footage, though, and I tried to give it a chance but I had to give up.

The found “footage” is photographs, and the movie also rules. Sorry I wasn’t around to warn you. AA, SB is shaky like a motherfucker.

I usually bounce off found footage pretty hard but I personally thought As Above So Below was excellent. Its kind of slow going but once it gets going its absolutely fantastic. I say stick it out the last 30 is loving killer. I definitely think its more of a slow burn though.
