Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
I figured that soapy meant soap opera since a lot of people call them "the soaps." But toss in Stephen King and the other refs and it makes my head swim. :D ID because the film simply narrates the events directly, as a crime-policial docufiction epìsode in sensational way, but from a kid POV. The c...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
PS: @sauvin Ive watch "The girl next door" a weird film, not that graphic but disturbing yes, but as I said, it has a very strange soapy tone. "Soapy"? I meant soap opera or Lifetime movie feel mixed with Discovery ID and Stephen King. Very odd. The photography is very nice, it is set in the 50s. A...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
I saw a preteen classic in my life May (2002) still cool, not dated. And the incredible television series Dekalog by Krzysztof Kieslowski. Dekalog's cinematography is beautiful and VERY similar to LTROI, if Kieslowski were the director it would have been very similar to Alfredson's version, in fact ...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
The American remake watered it down quite a bit, but it didn't help. Watching it, I couldn't help remembering the French original. I wouldn't be able to watch either of these movies again now precisely because I do consider it torture porn, which I can no longer abide. I don't get that anybody or a...

Re: Last DVD/Movie you bought or watched?
I finally had the guts to see Martyrs, and it's actually not THAT pornographic in its torture, but rather it's the makeup and special effects of the consequences of such torture that make it so shocking. It seemed like a solid horror movie to me, even if the villain's premise is pretty pointless (th...

Re: Essay about Netflix new Dracula series where Eli and not Dracula is the Gold Standard for Vampires
Well, LMI came in the exact vampire craze moment (2008-2012) which is odd because is a very timeless, could be a 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s movie, and obviously is not mainstream, but belongs to the heavy mainstream times of vampires in this century, that's why it gained it's unwanted fame as "THE ANTI-TW...

Re: Essay about Netflix new Dracula series where Eli and not Dracula is the Gold Standard for Vampires
Nosferatu (both versions) removed all the silliness in typical representations of Dracula. As for Eli, I think he / she is (or was) more like Carmilla. I'm pretty sure JAL had Carmilla in mind while creating Eli, that's why he looks like your typical gothic chick, cute doll face, delicate pale skin,...

Re: surviving the pandemic
Eli was citizen-aware, whenever possible she tried not to spread the infection... By killing the infected, yes.
And apparently was successful, otherwise Sweden would be full of vamps by that time.
Good quarantine Eli.

Re: LTROI - National Theatre of Scotland (Seoul, S.Korea) - April/May/June 2020
NTS became the Hammer of plays, no chances to see a different stage adaptation other than the Jack Thorne's :think: I don't know how the theatre business is, but I guess they have the rights for stage play, while (i don't know who, Hammer? that guy Carl Molinder?) has the screen rights, and I suppos...
