cabbitzillaAs I've commented to some of the folks closest to me...
I expected more from Dracula 2000. It's not a bad flick, and certainly the twist to the vampiric legend is a fascinating one... but I really figured a Wes Craven film would have more ooomph.
It was commented that Wes Craven has fallen the way of John Carpenter... a thought I agreed with: I've a definite fond spot for Carpenter, but... The story line they used in D2000 was fascinating, and it had a tremendous amount of potential, but the execution/presentation of it was not up to the same standard.
Pity, really. I was hoping for a really grooving vampire flick. What I got was a story with vast amounts of potential that went for cheap oneliners and blatant cleavage. Had it been an anime, it could've been called FanService 2000 instead. :p It could've used more butt shots of Gerard Butler, but we can't always get what we want, eh? :p And he's got that same curly mop of hair that makes R so cute, too...
*ellie trots off to take a long, cold shower*
Okay. Now then. Well, it seems I'm going to be watching the borrowed copy of Fight Club now. Megan wants D200 back... apparently she's lusting after Mister Butler as well. Heh. If I had a working vibe, I'd lend it to her. :p
Anyway, I'm going to ramble on, now. The headache from falling earlier is almost gone, now. Another round of naprosyn should beat it back completely.
Ta.
