People new to the channel are presented with the endearing, fairly inclusive, and accessible inside joke of “Blue Harvest”, which is immediately followed by the puzzle box in an escape room that is “Rodney”. The explanation of which is destined to sink deeper and deeper into obscurity every week. Incredible. As someone who spent months passively confused about “Westworld”, it feels good to be on the other side of this one
All of this encompassed within the confusingly often appropriately titled segment "Green Trivia". It's a chorus line of inside jokes that are somehow perfectly coherent a lot of the time if you don't know they're supposed to be non sequiturs. How have they done this.

You get it, people really tend to let a particular adaptation define the story, the Mina x Dracula stuff is just so backwards it was supposed to an allegory for rape in the book with Mina only drinking his blood under the threat of Dracula killing Jonathan sleeping beside her. So seeing so many people latch onto the ship is real gross. Even when you explain the difference like with Phantom of the Opera with o’l Gerry Butler vs the book, I still met people who are like “I prefer it that way”.

@Firstborn0Raz2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, while this movie looks beautiful, I had so many problems with this movie, like Dracula has zero sense of subtly when he encounters Jonathan Harker, how Van Helsing acts when he finds out that it is a vampire that they are after really rubs me the wrong way. Plus the Mina in this movie is a real downgrade from the book, especially with the fact that the movie just carries on the whole reincarnated lover angle for Mina, when Mina (despite living in the confines of the time) was actually a real MVP in the book. She deciphers Harkers journal, she comes up with plans with Van Helsing, and she even outwits Dracula in the book, and there is also Reinfeild's redemption in the book where he tries to attack Dracula to protect Mina. Plus the book is full of ideas that I wish people would expand upon in the film, like Lucy and the children that she feeds upon. What if she turned them into vampires and she tries to tempt Arthur with the idea of a family if he joins her? Or if Dracula manipulated more people in London, and when the group is destroying his boxes of earth, and dracula had the children that Lucy bit sleeping in them and forcing the group to attack them? So much potential and they always waste it by making a love story between the wrong people.

Yeah, I know Reeves’ accent isn’t the best but this is still the best Dracula adaption, IMO. Gary Oldman carries this film as Dracula, and the various Dracula transformations just suit Oldman’s own acting abilities to disappear into a role. Winona Ryder is great too, Anthony Hopkins seems like he enjoyed playing Van Helsing and the general aesthetic of the film just suits the story’s tone. Plus the opening prologue is one of my favourite film openings.

Considering George Lucas funded both Empire and Jedi on his own without getting much money from Fox, it would make sense that he might want to save as much money as possible.

The special effects work is fantastic. Coppola himself said that there are some effects in the film that they have no clue how they did anymore, as they hadn't documented it during filming. Crazy to know that some of the most amazing 90's practical effects are now lost to time. Also, on the note of "watch it at night and fall asleep and wake up to weird shit" - When DVD took off, and I had gotten a PS2 in high school, Dracula was one of the first DVD's I bought. It quickly became one of my favorites to put on to help me fall asleep, because it - along with Interview with the Vampire and a small handful of others - was from that special era where DVD's would auto-start after so long on the menu. So eventually, I'd wake up and see a Keanu getting triple-teamed by vampire ladies, Anthony Hopkins acting like an insane person, or Tom Waits munching on bugs. Good times.

Accidentally watched this after Robocop 3 Garbage and forgot this was old and got so excited at Green Trivia, Blue Harvest, AND RODNEY being back, only to then remember and become heartbroken again.

It’s called Bonfire of the Vampires as a reference to another huge box office bomb called Bonfire of the Vanities starring Tom Hanks. One thing many people don’t know is it also went by the working title of Blue Harvest. Strange coincidence

Already listened to the extended edition of this twice on big sandwich and now I finally come to the glorious visual medium… good to see you guys did everything in camera. But genuinely I’m so happy you chose to do this. This is absolutely one of my favourite films. I was 16 when this came out and already a geeky vampire tragic. I saw it three times at the cinema and I remember literally cleaning out my change jar and actually having to the actual last cent enough money to watch it the last time. I rode my bike into town cos it was the last money I had for weeks. At that time you still paid for things in cash and and I gave the cashier a couple of fistfuls of change in gold, silver and even bronze coins! (Those who remember Australian currency at the time know) wow, I was a completely cool jock at that age. Anyways, it was totally worth it. I. Friggin. Love this film. Cheers guys. PS I have no words for how much I hate the Green Trivia music.

I absolutely love this movie. It’s the best Dracula movie imo - it’s pretty true to Bram Stoker’s original novel, and Gary Oldman kills this role

James Rolfe actually did a video about which Dracula movie was the closest to the book. I think the winner was a 70s BBC made for TV movie.

@@liamfitzgerald7217 I figured there might be some obscure version out there that was closer to the novel. Thanks for pointing to that video. I'm interested in discovering which that may be. Particularly given I have (very) vague memories of just such a TV production. And I don't mean the *Curse of Dracula* segment from the TV show _Cliffhangers!_ 😋
