- Can we get an explanation for your comparison of Lynch's flawed but
- intersting version of "Dune", with Coppola's extremely obvious riffing
- on the Dracula theme?
-
- I can see it now: Coppola's "Dracula" is a huge hit. For the followup,
- he directs "A Love to Survive History, a tale to shock The Mind.
- Francis Ford Coppola presents "Kharis And Ananka"", and institutes yet
- another cycle of bad horror remakes.
-
- Why do some people find plague carriers <which is essentially what vampires
- are, IMHO> irresistably attractive and sexy? Couldn't Coppola find a
- more interesting subtext? Hasn't this been beaten to death already?
-
- I'm very tired of sexually irresisitable vampires. "Jonathon" is a far
- more interesting film, as vampire films go.
-
- And this is just my .02. Really!
