My pick for May 16th is Nosferatu the Vampyre, the 1979 film by Werner Herzog. Something of a cult favorite, the words "dark and atmospheric" don't even begin to describe the feel of the movie. Although it is an adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula, this is not your typical vampire love story. Here, Count Dracula is not a debonair aristocrat in a Grandpa Munster tuxedo. Instead, he looks more like what an actual vampire bat would look like if it took human form-- pointy ears, scrunched-up nose and sharp fangs.
Come for the famous opening credit featuring a cave full of real-life mummified human remains-- Stay for the overwrought silent-film acting style only Klaus Kinski can pull off!

I can't go to this and I realize that makes me a terrible person/friend/film buff. But like Phoenix, Arizona, the adopted land of my ancestors, I will rise from the ashes...
ReplyDeleteI will represent for Team Garry!
ReplyDeleteIt doesn't take much to get a gal to watch Werner Herzog's Nosferatu.

ReplyDelete(vampire teeth, obvs)
p.s. I will keep this up if someone doesn't step in.
Actually Caroline, that is exactly the angle I am going for: "If You Loved Twilight, You'll LOVE Nosferatu!!!!" It's like Twiight without the angsty teens, the shirtless hunks, the CGI werewolf effects and the hidden Mormon agenda!!!
ReplyDeleteI've been sick lately but hopefully I will be okay by Thursday and able to get trill with y'all.
ReplyDeleteIn spite of the suggestion this will be like Twilight, I'll be there. I may be a little late due to a work function that lasts until about 6:15. Feel free to start without me and I'll be there as soon as I can.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there because I live there and you fuckers will be in my house.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, luv u like Bella <3s whateverthefucktheirnamesare
Phil says we should watch Blackula instead.
