Speaking of Dracula: the first ten minutes of Kevin Spacey's performance as Hickey in The Iceman Cometh are available on YouTube. This is simply some of the best acting I have ever seen. I think I get the Dracula reference, but as for the acting in THE ICEMAN COMETH clip I thought it was just Space...

LHF, do you (or does anyone for that matter) know why the story was changed in the 1931 movie DRACULA to have Renfield visit Count Dracula's castle at the beginning rather than Jonathan Harker (as happens in Bram Stoker's source novel)? OMG AN UNSOLICITED DRACULA QUESTION!!!!! (I am not exactly an ...

I also have THIS COMPULSION where, even though I own them all on DVD- whenever any of the UNIVERSAL MONSTER FILMS become available on any format I have access to- I WILL WATCH. I dunno WHY but DRACULA (31), FRANKENSTEIN (31), THE WOLF MAN, THE INVISIBLE MAN and THE MUMMY (1933) are all on youtube (...

When we were watching AIRPORT 75, the sweetie said it would have been funny if the one who came to rescue Karen Black in the cockpit was the Zuni doll from TRILOGY OF TERROR.

Mandy Patinkin is hot as Avigdor in YENTL. BUT, evidently NOT hot enough for Babs' tastes, anyway. I say this because when she was recently interviewed by Stephen Colbert about her newly published autobiography (when they taped it at her Malibu mansion and shown later on his program), she mentioned...

Jacqueline Stewart is both easy on the eyes and ears.

I also enjoy listening to Jacqueline Stewart

She's a professor in the Cinema and Media Studies department at the University of Chicago.
She's supposed to resume teaching in Winter Quarter 2024,

EVER SINCE they shuttered YE OLDE MESSAGEBOARDS I have had the hardest time watching what used to be one of my favorite genres of film- PRECODES, because I missed our discussions of them (and also I'm STILL mad at TCM.) that aside, I checked out THE MIND READER (1933) - a curious little precode wit...
