nothing being composed for Hollywood today can even come close to the quality and imagination of that blue thunder music.

I watched the english version last nite on tubitv and ultimately found it overrated. supposedly werner herzog improved on F.W. Murnau's 1922 four-star masterpiece.
no way. first they screw up with giving klaus kinski rounded ears instead of more pointed like schreck. most of the film is pretty good but with a few things which bothered me. I guess the laughing renfield was supposed to be some half-azed homage to dwight frye but I found it needless and no way that people would not have had a problem with an employer given to laughing uncontrollably at times. Alexander Grannach in the 1922 film played Knock as a somewhat devious quietly psychotic nut especially after his master sails in. I did like it later when isabelle adjani becomes the heroine and her late nite meeting with the count in her bedroom was done very well.we're supposed to understand that klaus kinski's nosferatu unlike shreck is somewhat remorseful and regrets his unholy existence. yeah sure, that's why he sics all the rats on the towns. the old geezer playing van helsing is about as much help as teets on a boar. so lucy decides to sacrifice herself to kinski to destroy his evil and him...but fails. she dies, kinski is staked but lethargic jonathan takes over for kinski as the new nosferatu and rides back to transylvania on horseback. I think that ending kinda ruins the film and werner herzog was a chicken *******. he didn't have the rats' behind to have kinski levitate/pop up out of his crypt or casket. man, that's half the fun of watching the 1922 film.
now I wanna see if there are any good interior shots of pernstein castle on google.
oh, and the best folklore I know of in regards to nosferatus is they gotta be somebody who was the illegitimate offspring of illegitimate parents and they also gotta be buried in dirt from the black plague that ravaged europe centuries ago.
then you get yourself a nosferatu.

I also enjoyed Richard Mulligan in SOAP. He was also quite good in EMPTY NEST.
I'm sort of indifferent to his portrayal of Custard in LITTLE BIG MAN. I don't hate his performance but it did seem like he was deliberately overdoing it which I can understand would be a turn-off to some. Doesn't prevent me from enjoying the film however.
I always thought it was custer.

Re:
Bizarro Lucy.
the 'sculptor' who thought that looked like lucy is a loser! in actuality it looks like potsie webber after he takes dr. jekyl's formula.
what an insult to Lucille ball who after all was beautiful.

I love this especially since it has gone so overlooked over the decades.
