Movies that take great stories...

...and make them suck :(

Watching the original Dracula on AMC right now, but thinking of the "Bram Stoker's Dracula" version, which I hated.

That movie may have been "Dracula" but it wasn't "Bram Stoker's". As written, Dracula was meant to be evil, not romantic.

Add in that Anthony Hopkins as Abraham Van Helsing should have been great, but the direction turned the character into a slightly psychotic goofball.

Waste of a decent cast, overall, and did damage to a classic story.

I think Van Helsing was an attempt to make an English version of "Vampire Hunter D" and they seized on Van Helsing as their monster fighter.

The idea of van Helsing as a crusading enemy of evil isn't necessarily a bad one, but it was pretty poorly executed.

They'd have done better just to acquire the rights to VHD and make a straight English version of it.

I hate just about anything that has any association with Tim Burton or David Lynch.

I actually liked the concept of the new Mummy movies (making him scarier than a guy wrapped in bandages hobbling around at a speed that wouldn't catch a grandmother using a walker) but what made me unhappy was that they turned it into an action movie, not a horror movie.

(same guy did Van Helsing)

    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.  
    • Well, seeing as we play the Lions at home this year, pretty sure that rumor isn't true.
    • Totally possible imo, I also caught that snippet from Morgan where he said “If” we sign him. The lack of competition says otherwise tho 🤷‍♂️
