Now as a break from celebrity gossip here is an amusing little video with some vague pop culture relevance.
Well that was bound to happen. Road Runner’s luck had to ‘run out’ sooner or later. It was only a matter of time. If Willy Coyote isn’t exactly an American success story, then the movie vampire may well be! That brings us to the main feature.With the vampire craze taking off, and making a star of Rob Patterson, why not try to direct a little of that popularity towards Mocksure.
What better way to do that then with the original dark, goth vampire movie thriller Nosferatu! The 1922 public domain film (that means it’s ‘open season’!) by FW Murnua was the first to popularize this particular species of the undead with a Bram Stoker rip off. Our lead character was no Kate Beckinsale or Rhona Mitra either. Nosferatu was more like Madonna when she first wakes up in the morning (word has it that Madge is developing a fear of sun light these days). So you might say that the undead have evolved over the years, or at least their public image has; from buck toothed bloodsucker to slender, cat suited silicone enhanced vamp. So let’s take the opportunity to look back to more innocent days, when campy movie evil took a less seductive form. I suppose that if you’re going to go about battling good and spreading evil it helps to be as attractive and seductive as possible. No one knows that better than Hollywood!
