- I read _Dune_ and I really liked the movie. I have never read a _Batman_ book,
- but I have read the comics and I liked _Batman_. My problem with the _Dracula_
- movie is that FCC called it BRAM STOKER'S Dracula, and it is not. If he would
- have called it FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA'S Dracula, it might have had some redeeming
- qualities.

- I am sorry, but it just wasn't Bram Stoker's Dracula.
