A Simple Plan (1998)

 

[Hauler]

The wife was watching Say Anything last night.
That's the one with the famous scene of the guy holding a boombox up outside a girl's house.



I fell asleep in about 15 minutes, and I don't really remember anything about this movie other than the photo above.

But one thing I did notice is the chick that Cusack was obsessed with was decidedly average:

Nosferatu (2024)
8/10
After mixed reviews between critics and regular viewers I did what I rarely do and sided with critics, who generally loved it. Visually it’s a great piece of moviemaking. Plays a little bit with the plot points of the 1922 original, but generally sticks to the story. Most regular viewers said it was boring but I watched the extended cut and didn’t find it so. Can’t help but think the haters either don’t know or just don’t understand the original.

I didn't care for it.

It mixed Nosferatu with Dracula and claimed it was an "inspired" movie.

The visuals were excellent though as was set and costume.

The story though was poorly told and the film didn't assist there at all.

It was too muddy in it's storyline.

5/10.

"Companion."

Basically sex robots in the future and things that go wrong when they realize they are robots and belong to bad people.

A fun watch though. Maybe a 6 out of 10? Probably a 5.

"The Gorge."

6/10 maybe 6.5.

Kind of a weird zombie meets gov't movie.

It does expect you to pull a lot out of context. I will admit I probably mentally filled in the blanks due to familiarity with the original, which I just rewatched on Halloween, as well as having read Dracula probably 10 or 15 times since 7th grade.
As far as “mixing” Dracula and Nosferatu, that’s simply by default. Nosferatu is an unauthorized adaption of Dracula (the novel) that Murnau tried to skirt by changing some character names. Didn’t work, and he got sued and had to pay Stoker’s widow. Also, all copies were supposed to be destroyed but a few incomplete ones survived, so basically it exists today as a bootleg.

Totally understand how the Nosferatu film ripped off Dracula and the history mixes the two.

I agree with you that the biggest problem with the film was that it EXPECTED the watcher to fill in the blanks the film didn't care to share with the viewer. The problem is that someone who has not seen much or any of either won't know what is going on. The person I watched it with had that problem and kept asking me what was going on and who was who.
