So, since more than a few cousins recommended I get "Scarlett Street" starring Joan Bennett and

I finally watched it.....oish

Seeing Eddie G. 'hen-pecked' and putting on frilly aprons, was very.....?

Reading the back of the movie and finding out what/who Ms. Bennett plays was very......?

That's the third Fritz Lang movie I've bought and watched.

Sorry, but, I do believe it will be the last.

Eddie G. is a god...

Alright, this weekend and last weekend, watching some vampire-type movies.

Two weeks ago, it was the TNT 2004 re-do of Stephen King's "Salem's Lot". I hadn't seen it much on TV, so I bought it a few years ago. I have not seen the David Soul/Lance Kerwin version in over 20 years.

Funny, I believe it's Andre Braugher's (humminy humminy!) character that is in hospital and telling...someone? that a vamp cannot just enter someone's home....needs to be invited in. I swear that the very next scene was Rutger Hauer is just in ?Mark's house, climbing on ceiling; while Mark's mom is telling James Cromwell to get away from her son. No one invited RH in....lol

Anywho....this weekend was the 1931 Dracula. You know, where you NEVER see fangs.
I really thought the helper was RenFREW, not Renfield or something close. But, thanks to my friends on DS Boards, I knew Mina and Lucy.
I just looked on IMDb and it's Dwight Frye who plays Renfield. I don't believe I ever noticed him before; when he's playing 'nuts', he is fantastic (again, this is 1931, waaaaayyyy before method acting; only a couple of years into 'speaking films').
When I put this disc in, I was quite stunned (as in lmao) when the two options were "Dracula" or Spanish version "Dracula" (I swear, that's exactly what was printed on the beginning of DVD.)

After watching, I did the screenwriter/director (one in the same) listening....he mentions how far Brahm Stoker would have to stretch to recognize his not that old character.

When Renfield comes to 'Transylvania', he mentions to the Count that he hopes he brought enough shipping labels; Dracula replies he is only bringing three 'crates' with him.

These three are FILLED with the long ago mentioned 'vampires native soil'.
This of course made me try to remember; I remember when Barnabas dies, the few people who know treat it as a 'plague' type, because it was so sudden, nothing familiar about his symptoms.

Now, here's the FDSMS: did they put Barn's 'box' in the crypt which, behind it, is the 'hidden room' built to hide from Red Coats during Revolutionary War? I'm quite unclear.
I 'believe' after, we'll says bye Naomi....I know that Joshua cannot kill his dead son (yep, said that on purpose!!), he chains him I *thought* in the tower room, right????

I think all of us grew up on the vampire having like a handful of dirt in their 'habitation', but not three coffins full (I'm trying to remember the Hammer films etc.).

I cannnnnooooooooootttttttt S T A N D all the newer vamps, which can go in sun, don't mind garlic et. al.

Clarity please,

Patti

Alright, we've seen and 'disected' if you will, the 2012 Depp DS.

With some knowledge, I'd like to say who and what type of story-lines there 'Could' be:

We know 'Julia' is alive-ish; she could 'detangle' and show us what a vamp can REALY do to a Doxie!!

Carolyn: werewolf, hmmm....I wish I could think of any DS character who might have a werewolf presence....

David mentions his 'mother'; I would 'somehow' (a la Dan Curtis no style) let David know that his mother IS NOT ON THE OCEAN BOTTOM.

Elizabeth: she'd use the home and business insurance policies and re-build, bigger and better!

The family would build a smaller house (thereby making the mansion, the old house, and new one - well, you get it).

I think the 'true' Evans family, who we didn't see, would come back from their Green Peace efforts in Columbia.

On their way home,naturally walking through the woods on Collins grounds, just Sam would come across something...different....almost a parallel time....

Okay....let's hear more!!

i just recently re-watched NoDS...so many questions and comments:

First, I thought when Q & T were going into what I presumed to be one of the many cottages on the Collinwood Estate, it looked nothing like the series. Once inside, I'm reasonably sure they were in fact inside a real house (not a set).

You don't hear anyone say 'Collinwood' until Julia says it about half way through.

Was the shooting done at Salve-Regina (sorry if that's really wrong name/spelling).

Were the majority of shots in 'Collinwood' done in an actual house too? I don't think every scene was in the house, but the majority.

This is only the second time viewing it, but I felt very unclear on why Ang was haunting the joint (it wasn't Q who had her hanged...right?)

Now, we all L O V E Thayer David, but why wasn't Jerry Lacy in the infamous roll of Trask?

At the end of movie and THIS MAY BE BIG SPOILER, SO IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED NODS DON'T READ, it has the type stating that 'Willie and Carolyn' (yes, I know that wasn't their character's names) were killed in auto accident...witness...fog...but then it seem like more 'type' is coming, but it just went to the end.

Thanks for letting me ask,

Patti

On main first page, there is (I believe 3rd down on right) a pic of...TLATKLS.
I can't quite make out which story arc this is; there is a candle on the small, round table. There are on same page pics of 'Hoffman', again, don't know arc (I don't believe it to be c. 1967 RT/DOCTOR Hoffman).

Thanks,

Patti

Okay....log on....pic of Matt Chrunchy, but it's 'added' in.
IIRC, someone here told me he was to play Willie on the '04 WBs try.
How old was Willie originally (1967 ish)....I'm pretty sure it's never mentioned...but at least 30...?
Matt Chrunchy (yum yum) doesn't look over 21!!
[spoiler] ...although...maybe some mods wanted this pic... [/spoiler]

Within past 5-7 days, via different 'puters and/or my 'smartphone', I've had some log-in issues.
Primarily, the screen just sort of 'locks'; I can hit refresh key (on 'puter); but, usually I've just been retyping address WITH www . (yes, I purposely left the space between wwwanddot).

Anyone else having issues?
