Re: Your favorite movie sucks
I love Mistery Train and like some others. These days it takes a lot to talk me into seeing a new vampire movie. I saw too many crap ones when I was studying them. A friend talked it up and I love John Hurt. I enjoyed seeing my city, and one of my friends' bands got a shout-out, so that was nice. John Hurt was his usual wonderful self, but the Marlowe conceit was rather pointless, as was the end of his story.
Mostly what I remember is one scene where Swinton's character sees a mushroom growing out of season and makes a big deal of it. I wanted to shout, "Welcome to global warming in Michigan!" Especially since when I watched it I had new blooms on my dahlia after the first snow.
