RC, is MARK OF THE VAMPIRE any good? Whats it about?

[bob]

What is that in your sig bob? A mega Bela Lugosi dvd pack? eBay?

It's a 15 Bela Lugosi DVD pack I bought on-line from Barnes and Noble. It cost less then a dollar per movie that came with it.

And most are B or Z movies.
BOB-I'm the biggest Bela fan here,I believe-I recommend these films: ( I'm including films I'm sure youv'e seen.)
.DRACULA (1931)
.WHITE ZOMBIE (1932)
.MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE (1932) Lugosi at his leanest and MEANEST!
.the BLACK CAT (1934)
.MARK OF THE VAMPIRE (1935)
.The RAVEN (1935)
.The HUMAN MONSTER (1939)
.The SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939)
.The GHOST of FRANKENSTEIN (1941)
.THE DEVIL BAT (1942)
.BOWERY AT MIDNIGHT (1942)
.ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948)
...and of course BRIDE OF THE MONSTER (1955)

It's nice to have a fellow Lugosiphile on board! 


Oh yeah...TV shows that burned out on me-Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. When the budget got big-I left. Rangers Zeo,Morph-ugh.
I LOVED the ORIGINAL!!!

Honlestly, I've really enjoyed it for the most part what I've seen so far. I loved the 3 Ed Wood films, White Zombie, Death Kiss, The Darks Eyes of London, The Retun of Candu and Chandu on the Magic Island.

I really hated The Midnight Girl through no fault of the move. It happened to be the first silent movie I ever watched and i realized I hate silent fimls. The Mysterious Mr. Wong was ok but didn't do anything for me. I didn't hate it, I didn't loveit, it was just sort of there.

Markof the Vampire is EXCELLENT!
Directed by Tod (DRACULA,the UNHOLY 3 ,FREAKS, et al) It's about a pair of vampires-Count Mora (Lugosi) and his daughter Luna (Carroll Borland) who prey on a family in an old mansion. But there's more going on then meets the eye! Very atmospheric,with GREAT cinematography. It's a remake of the lost Lon Chaney classic LONDON AFTER MIDNIGHT-also directed by Browning.

I'v yet to see the MIDNIGHT GIRL. IThe DEATH kISS was blah for me-as was The MYSTERIOUS MR.WONG. DARK EYES of LONDON is the original British title for the HUMAN MONSTER-which is excellent!
RETURN of the VAMPIRE (1942) is kinda Coloumbia's answer to FRANKENSTEIN MEETS the WOLFMAN-as it has Bela as a psuedo Dracula and a werewolf too! The talking werewolf is kinda goofy though. Still-it's hokey fun!

South Park, American Dad, Family Guy, CSI, CSI Miami, Without A Trace (I think it is cancelled now), Ghost Hunters, and a few others.  I don't know I just get tired of the same thing over extended periods of time.  I feel they get lackluster and don't try as hard as they do when they start.  It becomes boring and more of the same.  I think long running series aren't as good an idea as many would think.  Rather cut it up, changing crews or situations and giving it something fresh every 4-5 seasons.

Sons of Anarchy. It started out mediocre and fell off from there. Plus, I think the whole unhealthy infant angle was cheap, it seemed like an afterthought.

[Warp Ninja X]

I stopped watching Lost around season 3 too much of people getting kill for nothing.

[A_Dubya]

The Simpsons in about 2003.

WWE Monday Night Raw in 2009.

[bob]

Robot Chicken in 2009.

[venomx]

M.A.S.H. I didn't like it. It made me sick. My mom made me watch it back in the early 80's. I have no idea why.

I managed to stay with Power Rangers up until the end of the 6th season in 1998, Power Rangers in Space.  At the end of that season, it was supposed to end, so they wrapped up the previous 6 years, had old cast members come back, old villians, they kidnapped Zordon, etc.  Then, the ratings were big enough to keep it going, and they started following the Japanese tradition of a self-contained season, where they change the name, cast, suits, villians, storyline, etc., every season.  Which I feel is the bad way to go.  It was a big hit cause the cast stayed the same and fans cared about them.  Changing it every 45 episodes=poorer quality I feel.

X-Files. One of the few shows I felt failed to benefit from the development of longer, more complicated story arcs. I prefered the monster-of-the-week format that the show originally found fame with. When things started to get as ridiculously bloated and overly convoluted as they did, that's when I got out.

Buffy. I loved that show right from season 1 up to season 5. After that, I felt things started to go downhill quickly and I dropped out, only popping in sporadically to get up to date and (of course) to see the season finales. I eventually saw them all thanks to the magic of DVD, and I'm thankful I was spared some of the sorry sights I was the first time 'round. Seasons 6 and 7 were just absolute vampire poop. The Buffy series finale remains one of the most disappointing and and underwelming hours of television programming I've ever tried to force myself to love. Now, the Angel spin-off on the other hand... if you ask me, that show just got better and better before ending on a high note of pure perfection. But that's a Whedonite fanboy love letter for another day.

[Cthulhu]

Lost- I realized that they couldn't possibly give a satisfying explanation to everything.
South park-After season 12, it all went downhill.
House-It was the same thing over, and over again.

[WilliamWeird1313]

House-It was the same thing over, and over again.

Personally, that doesn't actually bother me with House as much as it would with other shows. I think it's more of a character-driven show than a plot-driven show anyway. I do like how they've actually acknowledged and addressed the show's own admitted formulaic nature within the show itself (House saying things like "it's never Lupis" or Wilson noting that House always seems to barge into his office to argue about something ridiculous only to become suddenly inspired, grow silent, and storm off with the answer to the latest medical riddle at last unlocked). The main reason I continually tune is is for the character of House himself. He has a general worldview not unlike my own (cynical, skeptical, atheistic, and loathe to tolerate superstition and "social contracts") only he's much ore ballsy (and witty) about it. I guess it's repulsive in a way: I enjoy watching House because I like watching my own beliefs regurgitated back to me in a funnier, smarter manner than I myself can provide.

[AndyC]

Yeah, House is as much about the characters as the plot, but with generally more interesting characters than a lot of character-driven shows. I also find the formulaic nature of the show almost makes it better. There's an established structure that they put different characters, circumstances and ideas into, and have the recurring characters react in their own ways. It's interesting to see what new twists they can fit within the structure or whether they'll depart from it for an episode, but even at its most formulaic, House becomes kind of a game. You know roughly how it's supposed to play out, but the details are different, and it becomes about guessing what will happen and seeing how close you are.

Lost- I realized that they couldn't possibly give a satisfying explanation to everything.

I wish I'd figured that out before watching the final season, and the hugely disappointing finale.
