Basically Nothing

Daaaamn I forgot how beautiful some of the sets and shots from Bram Stoker's Dracula were... or maybe I never knew at all, and am just noticing now because of a 50" 1080p presentation. It's fucking glorious, especially the beginning of the movie. I particularly like the red-sky Vlad The Impaler style battle at the beginning, and Keanu's first ride up the mountain to Castle Dracula, with Dracula's eyes gigantically hidden in the sky. This movie is the most gloriou modern incarnation of a Universal monster movie that has ever been made. If Joe Johnston's Wolfman could have captured even HALF of the visual spectacle of this film it would have been HALF-ALRIGHT.

And WHAT THE FUCK was that bullshit Kanye song at the VMA's last night? I was hoping Power would be the worst of his comeback but am starting to worry it could be the best... that shit was horrible. Even a new Tyga verse could not save it. He is becoming horrible.
