circumstantial tree Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 QUOTE (librarian @ Aug 23 2012, 01:13 PM) I watched Tommy on VH1Classics last night. And I watched it up to the gang section - Hell's Angels I guess? I couldn't take anymore - god awful. maybe I just don't like musicals. I did like watching Townsend, Clapton, and Entwistle in the Marilyn Monroe bit though.. It was just as bad as Rocky Horror, and I haven't been able to sit through that in its entirety (and not planning on it, either) - although I still enjoy the soundtrack. I love that movie, but there are parts of it, like the Hells angels sequence that bother me. I'm Facebook friends with Barry Winch who played the young Tommy. Very nice guy.

I can't believe the movie almost sold out. Anyways, I still think it's the best superhero movie to date. Hmm...yeah, it might be. Imho, the only thing that might beat it is Batman Begins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or was it? The tag line just screams "piece of shit." It wasn't great but it wasn't a total disaster, in fact it was pretty much an ok vampire romp... The big twist on the Drac legend in this was that Dracula was really Judas Iscariot all along, forced to walk the earth as a human demon for 2000 years. When he hanged himself he did it as the sun went down and was cursed by what he'd done to Jesus to become a kind of junior version of Lucifer; not a fallen angel but a fallen disciple and a perversion of Jesus and his teachings, ie drinking blood instead of letting people eat and drink of the body etc. And the symbols of the things he'd done would hurt him, ie crosses, for obvious reasons, silver, for the silver pieces, stakes for the spikes and nails used against Jesus and sunlight because of the hanging when the sun went down. Something like that anyway... The cast is pretty good too, Christopher Plummer as Van Helsing, Jeri Ryan and Jennifer Esposito as eye candy vampires and Gerard Butler shockingly effective as Dracula. It also had the advantage of following the woeful Bloody Valentine. Anything is good after seeing that. Whatever you do don't watch that one. All in all Drac 2000 wasn't bad, relatively entertaining, as long as you're not expecting a masterpiece. No chance in f**k that I'd watch Bloody Valentine. I'm not much of a vampire fan...all of that hissing and pasty white skin is a bit too pansy for me. The only vampire movie I like that I can think of right off is Lost Boys.

It's like they typed up a script in 20 minutes and found an abandoned warehouse to film inside, rounded up some actors at short notice, told them they had an hour to learn their lines, only gave them 15 minutes instead and just turned on the cameras with the director holding a gun to their heads yelling "ACT, ACT, ACT!!" http://www.heyuguys.co.uk/images/2011/01/The-Ward-Quad.jpg http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EuHEDwCmE1I/TB0zwEP3ORI/AAAAAAAACF0/S0D4HstWowE/s1600/jumper-2008-2.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't make a watchable horror flick with Kate Beckinsale wearing a skin-tight outfit in almost every scene you know you're in the wrong business.
