Just when I forgot that sometimes, good remakes happen, I saw Shadow fo the Vampire. They left the original story intact, and fictionalized the making-of parts, which made up most of the movie. It seems that F.W. Marnau (John Malkovich) has hired a vampire (Willem Dafoe) to play an actor playing a vampire, to heighten the realism in his rehash of Bram Stoker's Dracula (he had to change the title to Nosferatu, of course). The other actors are told he is a strict method actor, hence his always showing up in makeup, only doing his scenes at night, and so on. But soon the photogrpher gets sick, and the cast and crew starts to get edgey. Marnau has to leave to find a new photographer (who moonlights as a drug dealer), and soon everyone is on an island to shoot the last few scenes of the film. The story is relatively simple, but there are some unexpected twists and some bizarre humor and a brilliant ending. The casting of Malkovich and Dafoe in the main roles was perfect, and overall it's a very solid reinterpretation of a classic. Definitely worth a rental.
This is a fair request, and I promise I will not judge any person only as a teenager. You will constantly remind yourself that some of my generation judges people by their race, their belief, or the color of their skin, and that this is no more right than saying all teenagers are drunken dope-addicts or glue-sniffers. You think its strange, that there's a way of how you looked, and how you act, and how you think pretend they're not the same as you.

Do you know about her strength in convictions or how she puts all her faith in religion. Did we take the time to really discover, how little we know about each other.

today's a holiday invented by greeting card company's, to make people feel like crap. I ditched work today, took a train out to montach, i dont know why, im not an impulsive person. I guess i just woke up in a funk this morning, i gotta get my car fixed.........its god damn freezing on this beach, montach in febuary, brillent joel, pages are ripped out, dont remember doing that, it appears this is my first entry in two years. Sands overrated, its just tiny little rocks. If only i could meet someone new, i guess my chances of that happening are somewhat diminished, seeing that im incapbable of making eye contact with a woman i dont know, maybe i should get back together with nioami. She was nice, nice is good. SHe loved me. Why do i fall in love with every woman i see who shows me the least bit of attention?
Today was most excellent. I walked at least 5 miles or more. Meet intresting people, well not intresting, but intresting convo's. I've read 150 pages of a book today, not counting pleasure reading. typed a paper and turned it in, and now i have one more to do before this week finally comes to the times i enjoy the most. That and i'll have the room to myself all fuckin weekend. McCheese may come up this weekend, which would be most pleasent. Gonna see some thing tommrow night that anna's working at. SHould prove to be a good weekend. SLeep is slowly teasing my eyelids so im out like your mom on a saturday night.
The woman was a dream I had Though rather hard to keep for when my eyes were watching hers They closed, And I was still asleep.
For when my hand was holding hers She whispered words and I awoke And faintly bouncing around the room The echo of whomever spoke I awoke and faintly bouncing round the room the echo of whomever spoke.
The place I saw was far beneath The surface of the sea My sight was poor But I was sure The sirens sang their songs for me They dance above me as I sink I see them through a crystal haze And hear them bouncing round the room the never ending coral maze
That time and once again I'm bouncing around the room.
well dave and i decided after our indoor soccer game that we would get shitfaced tonight. And here we are about 4 hours later and im shitfaced. I watched lost in translation last night and i def like enternal sunshine better. Well we were forced to drink old miwaukee ice tonight, but to tell you the truth this beer does the trick. yea im too drunk to say anything usefull to anyone

Manic depression is touching my soul I know what I want but I just don't know How to, go about gettin' it Feeling sweet feeling, Drops from my fingers, fingers Manic depression is catchin' my soul
Woman so weary, the sweet cause in vain You make love, you break love It's all the same When it's, when it's over, mama Music, sweet music I wish I could caress, caress, caress Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Well, I think I'll go turn myself off, And go on down All the way down Really ain't no use in me hanging around In your kinda scene
Music, sweet music I wish I could caress, caress, caress Manic depression is a frustrating mess
Ow! ow! Music sweet music sweet music Sweet music sweet music Hooo!
Ha duckman fucking rules, a hammered duck and a somesort of other bird loaded off liquer..........Ryan and anna im sorry i was never around when you guys called this weekend. I was out alot surprisingly, friday night was the pirate game, which briney had sweet tics for. Me and mcfunkelcheese got ourselves some supplies and then drove on out for a night at the ballpark. The bucco's won and then we chilled for awhile. Friday i went and saw Eternal sunshine, and i swear if i could have written a movie that it would have been exactly the same. Well the movie fucken rule'd so i suggest everyone go out and see it. I got myself two new cd's too. The Cure and Spinal Tap, nothing beats spinal taps "Christmas with the devil". This weekend was exactly what i needed, everything was sweet and i had the best time. I'm gonna live with my brother this summer down in oakland, which opens endless possiblities. Watched deadwood at mcdermotts tonight and i wish i had hbo cause that show rules, except wild bill was killed tonight, thats right deadmans hand mother fucker. Wild bill ruled. Now im just waiting till tommrow when i have to go back to school for a 2:30 class, then work later that night, hmmmm i wonder why i love beaver falls so much. My mom had some easter baskets out this morning, and i could tell which one was mine because it had encino man (i just kinda figured she got that for me, since i never really loved the movie) and monoply underware. I also skipped church today at the price of setting the table for easter, not a shabby trade off if i say so myself. Man i left school in the worst mood and complained to my mom the whole way home, yet after being here for about a weekend with the people who make it so easy to bear life, i feel like a new man, i mean i didnt have this same feeling after spring break, i still wanted to go back to school for some reason. I think mostly what had me down was my fucking sucubis of teachers were pile load after load of festering stinking shit on me.........hmmm i think ill go smoke a bowl. Much better, i've decided that the only way to enjoy yourself typing on the computer is to be laying down, preferably on a couch, with pillows, comfort is the key.
