...Ew

I haven't seen the Coppola Dracula in years, and barely remembered anything about it.  I'm not sure why I didn't remember that it's terrible.  Not only is the acting awful--even Anthony Hopkins isn't trying--but they can't so much as remember that they turned Harker's hair grey. 

I did try to read the book once, but it bored me out of my proverbial skull.  I suppose I should try it again, but my enthusiasm is at a low ebb.

I almost enjoyed the way Mr. Hopkins sort of threw professionalism to the wind and danced around like a madman, but it certainly didn't add anything to the quality. The funny thing is that I remember people being very excited about it when it came out. Maybe my brain is just failing.

Anthony Hopkins' drunk screeching loony was the high point of the whole thing for me. There's a startling number of people that really *like* this movie - completely baffling to me.
