A tv channel here just aired "Dracula dead and loving it". It's not exactly a "last movie seen" cause I only caught a few scenes, as I had to go out, but even with these scenes I don't see what's so bad about this movie. I mean, people always talk trash about this particular movie: I get it, if we compare it with Brooks' previous works, Young Frankenstein (lots of Wilder input in that one, I consider it more his movie as a matter of fact), Blazing Saddles, it won't stand a comparison. But actually, I saw some really nice photography, scenes, lots of matte paintings (something filmmakers today have forsaken) , nice special effects, nice music, and the few scenes I saw followed to a tee 1931's Dracula with Bela Lugosi, so it was a nice remainder, kinda like a tribute to the old classic. It makes me wanna see it in its entirety, but first I'm certainly gonna see "Airplane", as I only saw it once, and now that I can, imma see it in english!
