I guess it was a "romantic comedy," but to me it was more about letting go and opening your eyes. Whatever the case, these are not the characters you usually see in standard-issue RomComs.<br /><br />The Dracula puppet show was the grand finale. But earlier in the film, the protagonist discusses why he relates to vampires as a creative subject, and it was an interesting take that gave me something to think about. And since so much vampire stuff is from a female POV, it was kind of neat to see how vampires can relate to the male experience.<br /><br />Interestingly, the lead actor (who also wrote the film) was already writing a Dracula puppet musical when he decided to incorporate it into this screenplay. I hope that one day he'll finish it.Derek Tatumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09751292322235530499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-84786697456862043432008-09-21T22:24:00.000-07:002008-09-21T22:24:00.000-07:00cheers Ryne - though I guess Derek deserves the ku...cheers Ryne - though I guess Derek deserves the kudos for spoting this one.<BR/><BR/>I guess it is one of the reasons that I love the genre so much, the fact that it is so universally within our psyche that it turns up everywhere.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-54564957275398134992008-09-21T18:48:00.000-07:002008-09-21T18:48:00.000-07:00I was very interested to see how this was going to...I was very interested to see how this was going to tie in to vampires, but you've proven again that vampires exist - everywhere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00350692916090777986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-5535692610311788142008-09-21T10:24:00.000-07:002008-09-21T10:24:00.000-07:00Links updated SirLinks updated SirTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-78518358213264599082008-09-21T10:05:00.000-07:002008-09-21T10:05:00.000-07:00I know that I am indecisive as can be, but now tha...I know that I am indecisive as can be, but now that my Dragon*Con duties are over (for now), I have rebooted my blog under the URL http://crimsonskyline.blogspot.com/<BR/><BR/>"The Crimson Skyline."<BR/><BR/>- DerekDerek Tatumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732965915196268655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-67668459358832424652008-09-21T08:11:00.000-07:002008-09-21T08:11:00.000-07:00Hi GuysDerek, now you've mentioined the Peter Stee...Hi Guys<BR/><BR/>Derek, now you've mentioined the Peter Steele element I see it!<BR/><BR/>Bill, this is a brand new one - not long out of cinemas, so the fact that it hasn't surfaced in China yet isn't surprising.<BR/><BR/>As for the Little Red Riding hood - you are quite correct, it is a Murray.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-49426228765243735562008-09-21T07:50:00.000-07:002008-09-21T07:50:00.000-07:00I am not familiar with this at all but am curious....I am not familiar with this at all but am curious. As usual you share some very obscure and interesting material. A few posts back you wrote about Little Red Riding Hood and the Monsters and I ave always wanted to see that to be honest since seeing a clip on youtube. I think it may be an H. Gordon Murry (SP ?) production. he helped to distribute a lot of the Mexican horror stuff. <BR/><BR/>Great material again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-52577953418474742862008-09-21T06:36:00.000-07:002008-09-21T06:36:00.000-07:00I've been told it is a crucial scene, at any rate....I've been told it is a crucial scene, at any rate. I especially like the singer's "Dracula" voice. It's close to Type O Negative's Peter Steele, which adds an extra humour element for me.<BR/><BR/>I see that the Dracula songs are on the soundtrack, so there is a temptation factor for me to acquire it.<BR/><BR/>Great write-up!Derek Tatumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16732965915196268655noreply@blogger.com
