- Why are people so pathetic? And this is not meant to criticize anyone
- personally or to say that FFC's Dracula was the best movie of all time or
- anything. But it seems like it's the trendy thing to do to anticipate this
- movie as if it were the Second Coming, and then to say it was the worst piece
- of trash ever after seeing it. Kind of like when it becomes trendy to
- criticize trendiness. Or when people want to look "different" so they pierce
- various body parts, dye their hair various colors, and wear MC's with
- white-out all over them, so they all end up looking the same! Which is not to
- say that such a look is not appealing, either... it's just that it seems like
- it's becoming "cool" to criticize the film, to be like, "Well, I'm a REAL
- vampire fanatic, so of course it couldn't live up to MY expectations" kind of
- thing. I happened to adore the movie, some people might not, whatever. But
- I'm sure tyhis bulletin could be put to much better use than WHINING about
- it!!!
