This movie baffles me. It's both entirely composed of clichés and really unusual. It has few jokes, but is amazingly funny at times. Its plot structure is shaky at best, and I don't know what the point is or why it was made.

I'm not sure I like it, and I don't think it's a good film, not really. I don't really recommend it. But I am super-glad I watched it, because it's interesting to watch... whatever it is.

It's a real, "Well, that happened," kind of movie

oddtail:
Rewatched "Interview with the Vampire".

It holds up very well, better than it has any right to. I really enjoyed myself, to the point that a) now I want to run a game of Vampire: the Masquerade RPG (that's my normal reaction) and b) re-read the book (I remember it being very good, too).

I'm honestly surprised how well the film continues to work. A lot of 90s stuff... does not. Here, I continue to have basically no complaints. It's as good an adaptation of the novel as I can conceivably imagine (and the author apparently agreed with my assessment back in the day).

sitnspin:
It's biggest weakness continues to be Antonio Banderas, who was completely wrong for the part. Otherwise it is an extremely solid adaptation.

I've yet to play a Victorian Age VTM chronicle. All my games have been modern day.

LeeC:
Rewatching the Corpse Bride with my 3yo and I have to say the first 20 minutes of the movie would make an absolute perfect Victorian Era Gothic Horror Story.

(click to show/hide)A young man with new money parents is being forces to marry into nobility so his parents can be considered elite. Said young man is nervous about this obligation and even after he meets his bride to be he still fumbles the rehearsal, making a fool of himself. He takes a stroll on a foggy night into the woods by the old cemetery. As he laments his destiny and practices his vows he drops the ring. He finds finds it looped onto an exposed skeletal finger. A willowy veiled woman in white emerges from the shallow grave reaching for him. He screams and runs home. Over the course of the next few days as his parents pester him about the missing ring and as he goes about preparing for the wedding day, he sees glimpses of the woman in white. Haunting him, just out of reach. He sees her outside his window the night before the wedding and becomes hysterical. His parents think all these feverish outbursts are just him trying to get out of his obligations, or just per-marital nerves. The next evening as the groom meets the bride at the alter, the woman in white appears. In a ghastly voice she says "I do" and grabs the groom, pulling him into the underworld.




But instead we get a happy ending and some jazzy skeletons.

Blue Kitty:
I've been doing the horror movie challenge and here's what I've been watching the past nine days:
-The Invisible Man (2020)
-Trick
-Kingdom: Ashin of the North
-Howl
-Black Christmas (2019)
-Funhouse
-#Alive
-Llamageddon
-A Nightmare on Elm Street

So far The Invisible Man is the best, and Llamageddon the worst
