What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

It is beautiful in some ways. And the cast? Some great actors, and Keanu. But...

"This is going to be true to the novel." Then they make Dracula the hero and turn it into a love story. Mina is a truly powerful, strong, brave character in the novel, which considering it was written by a man in 1897, is an amazing thing .They take all of that away from her. All of it.

Sorry, sorry, I get you have Oldman, so you don't want bookDracula (who was basically a rapist), but I just hate they do Mina so dirty...
Fair, but still…Gary Oldman is fucking fantastic in everything he does.

Also, don’t love how some adaptations have Lucy as a Scarlett-at-the-picnic flirtatious socialite with 3 suitors who coddle the fuck out of her, but meh 🤷🏻‍♀️

No, I'm a Keanu fan too....
But...he was a horrible casting choice for it.
They should have found someone less Bill and Ted for it.

Oh he was awful in it absolutely but I still love it. He was perfect for 12 year old me who still loved pretty boys but was getting into gothic stuff 🤣
And Hugh Grant back then wouldn't have been a good Jonathan. He was still in his simpering fop era - see Sense and Sensibility a couple of years later

And yes I love their friendship!
I disliked Hugh in his sputtering heartthrob era (Sense and Sensibility was great mostly because of every single other actor in the ensemble, and Mickey Blue Eyes was actually funny, but the rest of his movies are pretty unwatchable for me), but am totally here for his new villain era!

I mean, if we are going watch a Englishman get cucked by Dracula, lets make it Hugh Grant. 😂😂😂
But Keanu tried!!

And I think he and Winona were actually somehow (but not really) married during the making of it.
Which is a funny bit of trivia.
Not as bad as Keanu doing Shakespeare. That was painful. I like him, but his acting has limitations.

I really like Keanu in everything else he's been in. Just not this one.
😆😆

In the book that was Lucy. BookMina was unshakable in her love for Jonathan.
 
I am thinking how I want to tie a woman to a chair, put a pillowcase over her head, cut her clothes off with a knife, and finger her while choking her through the pillow case.*







*consensually of course.

⬆️ And that was rather... Uhm... Heartbeat skipping! In the good way. 😅
 
Sean Bean is slated to appear in a remake of the movie Last Man Standing.

Spoiler alert: He's not that man.
