I LOVE YOU. My legs hurt, I walked a billion miles today on the beach IT WAS SO COLD AND BLOWY YAY YAY. Mostly I wanted to tell you that I WATCHED DRACULA TOO CHRIST IT WAS SO BAD BUT YES MARC WARREN WAS A SEXY VAMPIRE. I don't know why I am attracted to him now, IT IS SO BAD, I never used to be, I used to actively dislike him, he is rub yet I LOVE HIM SO SO SO. I thought he was quite good as Dracula. This may be the addled eyes of love, mind you. I thought it was generally an extremely unimaginative take on the whole legend. And stupid! I laughed HA HA HA at the syphilis thing. But I liked the portrayal of Dracula. I like how they downplayed the usual aspect of charmingness and civilisedness and such, or at least took it in a different direction. I liked how it was very clearly conveyed that he was nine hundred years old, and presumably was some sort of twelfth-century brutal illiterate feudal lord to start with, and has since spent nine hundred years hiding in a coffin at night, being all withered, and preying ruthlessly off humans for food. Really... not very charming, or witty, or man-like at all. I liked it when he actually did stuff like talk and express some sort of thoughts, with Mina, and it was like old aspects of human-ness peeking out through his genuine monsterness, and you could sort of imagine how those human bits had been subsumed and changed and incorporated into what he is. I like the fact that the cliched charm-and-fascination thing was done as this sort of rattlesnake magnetism, the sort of weird horrible way he had of interacting with humans, not camouflaged at all, the way he'd just look at them. Dude! Yes. Good acting job by the Warrenmeister there, I think. *deluded eyes of LOVE*

Ahaha, Danny from Hustle would just be totally eaten alive (- literally! arf arf) by Dracula. He'd be all charmed and fascinated and vain and flattered, and Dracula would have him like that. And then Mickey would have to rescue him, and he'd stride in in a suit with an open-necked shirt and a cool calm Mickey expression and STAKE HIM OMG and Danny would be all dazed and floppy and a bit bloody and mostly angry and "omg Mickey, why did you have to interfere?" because he loves Mickey so MUCH he can't bear to owe him anything!

Dracula/Teatime. OH. MY. GOD.

I am going to bed I am a bit manic and crazy I ONLY HAD FIVE HOURS OF SLEEP LAST NIGHT BECAUSE THE SMOKE ALARM BROK OMG OMG I COULDN'T EVEN FIND IT FOR THREE HOURS AND THEN WHEN I FOUND IT I HIT IT ON THE FLOOR UNTIL IT STOPPED BEEPING. I will do the love meme, I vaguely feel I need to confirm this in case people think I have SWIZZED THEM, but it requires actual thought and precision and things. PCHAH. LOVE FOR YOU OMG.
