A6 Republican Dracula from "The Simpsons"

Mitch McConnell depicted? Kinda looks like him. Just saying "republican" to me is kind of vague. And sort of defeats the point of the humor that is trying to be conveyed. I think it looks more like Pelosi but with cropped hair. But you said it's a republican. I never saw that episode (I'd like to know which one it is.) Too bad I was never hired on to be an artist for the Simpsons.

There are multiple Dracula depictions in The Simpsons. This one is a spokesman for the Springfield Republican Party.

Thank you. I was trying to revise that post as you replied. I was going to put Gerard Butler with the Simpsons one. But yeah, the other one was I thought D9 Was Gerard Butler from Dracula 2000. The Dracula Simpsons thing looked like a constant theme for that show. Probably hard to nail down exactly. When I tried to do a quick look up I saw two black dracula guys at a bowling alley.

So yeah. Hey it is all creative stuff anyway I guess. I put my own spin on things. Sometimes I call Blade or Stephen Dorff Dracula. Even though they were just vampires (well one half vampire.) Shame that Stephen Dorff can't technically be on that list.

Can anyone guess these Dracula's-?











None are TV shows. All are films.

Craziness. Like I said on one of those links above, why weren't we taught this in school. Or these people who say that the Bermuda Triangle isn't real. But yet they spend millions of dollars creating these simulation water tanks with the waves and everything to try to demonstrate that like an underwater gas bubble or some underwater phenomenon could be what is responsible for the ships that sink and disappear. But they don't believe in it. But they are spending millions of dollars to try to prove something.

This Deposit photos, something similar to photobucket...I don't know if they charge or not. Probably will charge if they put up photos about tombs built by giants and that this is all forbidden knowledge. Next step grab a Dutch push hoe and charge you money to know this stuff. Or and is charge you, because we are in the era of ebonics.
Bram Stokers quotes seem both in place and out of place at the same time. But not for the reasons that these gerbils put it up there for. Why can't they push this or put it out there like this is an vanished line of hominids like the Neanderthals. Makes no sense. It all has to be forbidden knowledge.
Science is turning into strange sociopathic mongrels, like the Archaeology magazine from August 2024, talking about the Zamárdi lynx. "Humans definitely buried this lynx, but we have little idea why or how they came into contact with the animal." And the show UnXplained hosted by William Shatner. Has anyone ever heard of the historian Diodorus? Not me. Do they mean Livy? Do they mean Cato the Elder? Oh, Cato the Elder. But he was a Jew according to the Ancient Forums. I have no clue.

Attending a silent film conference and then trekking through the place, visiting Machu Picchu and other places 😊😊

She said she would try to bring me a mummy back from Peru: not sure how she'll get it through customs and excise but anyway 😳😀😄🐢

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

The Trail.

A mute young woman goes on a hike and has an extraterrestrial encounter. With very few words spoken, this movie relies on visuals and background music to convey all emotion. It's very slowly paced, and your entertainment is going to vary widely according to your tolerance for that. 2/3rds of the way through it and its kept me interested enough to want to watch it to the end.

No worries. Nobody will ever know your hate for District 9 online! 

13 for me: I actually walked out of District 9 and demanded my money back. Got it too.

I think I am totally on my own when I say that I dislike The Shining, District 9 and Invictus

Invictus and District 9

District 9 (aside from Sharlto Copley's performance, this is a horrible film)

I only watched Elysium to give SA born filmmaker Neill Blomkamp another chance after the poo pile that was District 9.

I hated District 9 for various reasons. I actually walked out and demanded my money back.

I also never quite understood the appeal of DISTRICT 9 but I did like CHAPPIE.

District 9 (I hated this movie and I wasn't the only one here who did)

I actually walked out of District 9 when I realized what I was watching was nothing more than a thinly disguised anti-South African diatribe from a born South African who must have had a really crappy childhood here.

CHAPPIE (After District 9, no thanks and what is my beautiful flag doing on the shoulder of an ugly robot?)

DISTRICT 9 (anti-South African garbage disguised as a sci-fi film)

Neil Blomkamp must have had a really crappy childhood in South Africa: my theory is that his films District 9 and Elazyium are anti-South African diatribes. 

he passed away last year but he was a damn good filmmaker. Until District 9 came along

Neil Blomkamp's District 9 was an anti South African film disguised (not well) as a sci-fi action film.

If the SA public feels that District 9 is yet another faint reminder of their supposedly unique past, this film will bomb at the local box-office. Many anti-South African films such as A Dry White Season and Catch A Fire among others, crashed,  burned and slid right down the crapper here.

I get asked this all the time and I always say that I love movies like The Shining, the 1973 Lost Horizontally, District 9, Chappie, Invictus and things like Cry Freedom and Lethal Weapon 2 😉😉

I walked out of District 9, Invictus and Master Harold & The Boys halfway through: I got my money back for the first two.

I have also never gotten the hype and acclaim that DISTRICT 9 has gotten over the years.

People know how I feel about DISTRICT 9.

DISTRICT 9
[An anti-South African film made to look like a sci-fi film: excruciating viewing]

I think ol' Trevor's repeated not-so-subliminal messages over the years might be solely responible for me having never seen DISTRICT 9.... every time I see the dvd on a shelf I'm like, hmmm naah... I mean there's no real logical reason why I haven't checked it out yet....

I refer to that movie in my book in less than glowing terms. It was presented and marketed as one of my country's very rare sci fi films. Sadly, it was actually another attempt to make South Africans feel bad about their countries past made by a locally born director.

It is actually very well made with good visual FX, good performances but I dislike it intensely.
