darchildreMedia consumed today:
- Dracula (1931 version). I hadn't actually watched this for several years. Spoilers: I still love it. The boring bits are still boring, of course, but the bits that aren't just Mina, Jonathan, and Dr Seward are still great.
- Mad Love. Oh god, this movie is amazing and confounding, how the hell did it even get made? I tried to explain the plot to my parents and they both stared at me as though I had grown another head. (Dad started staring at "and then Peter Lorre grafts the hands of a recently executed murderer onto Colin Clive" while Mom held out till "then Peter Lorre pretends to be the recently executed murderer, who has had his head reattached.") I love everything this movie chooses to be. (Except the random American newsman - him, I could do without.)
- The first two episodes of Fargo. Billy Bob Thornton's character is either a murder wizard a la Hannibal or the actualfax devil. I have yet to decide which.
