Thanks. It would be easy to confuse it with Attila the interior designer; specially for the cover...

Indeed. I didn't saw your post about it. Anyway, two jokes are better than just one.

Never seen a truly scary movie. Thing used to scare me when I was like 8 years old. But now, everything seems old and unoriginal...

Try this one:
 
 
Be sure it is not the 1999 film, but the original one, directed by master Rober Wise in 1963

Those into war movies need to see TAE GUK GI - The Brotherhood of War.
A South korean masterpiece of a war movie ; it makes Saving Private Ryan look like a G.I. Joe episode.

¿What about recommend a bad movie? that would be a change... I've seen so many ridiculous films, and they always bring a laugh or two. For example, that thing called "League of extraordinary men". So many stupid details in the same movie...

Well, try "dracula vs frankenstein" by Al Adamson... probably the most awful gem in this world only rivaled by plan 9 from outer space... it contains that magic line, when a doctor asks dracula who he is: "I'm the Count of Darkness, Lord of the manor of Corpathia"..... (yes, corpathia, whatever that is)....That's THE GEM..

Hi, T. As for bad movies, I wish I could send you a copy of "Todo por nada" (All for nothing), a local piece of crap. More awful than the movie itself (wich is really really low), the premiere was a Hollywood like event, after wich the attendants looked even scared because of the new low that was presented to them, full colour.

Hmm, Mr. T, I would have expected better of you. I haven't seen the movie, but he probably says "Carpathia". Dracula lives in the Carpathian mountains, a mountain area in Transylvania. The Carpathians are mentioned on the very first page of the novel (and several times throughout).

His quote is right, as you can check on IMDB (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0067017/quotes); indeed "Corpathia" is stupid, but I'm amazed at the movie rating. I didn't think there could possibly be a movie to get only 2.4 stars LOL

The funny thing, Mrs Friede, is precisely that HE DOES SAY CORPATHIA....If there's one matter in which I'm well trained is in my Bram Stoker and my Dracula, I have read the book 4 times (I was a dracula freak in the past Embarrassed), have seen every movie since Murnau's 1921 Nosferatu:Eine Symphonies Des Grauens till Coppola's one (only DRACULA, not lousy vampires... I'm fan of the character...) If you check about that awful movie online, you'll see that that majestic line I quoted is also cited in a few sites... The movie is THAT bad.... Al Adamson directed m,any b-movies for drive-in cinemas in the US, and that one was his low(high?) point..... Yes, Carpathian mountains in Trnsylvania, near Moldavia and Bukovina, in today's Romania.... THIS, at least, you don't need to teach me, Ms. Friede, as, for once, I know what I'm talking about. Big%20smile... But thatnks for the observation, I could've been wrong and it would've helped... In this case, miraculously, I wasn't.....

How do you know he says "Corpathia" instead of "Carpathia"? Is the movie subtitled? If not, I think it will be very difficult to distinguish between "Carpathia" and "Corpathia". What's more, with a Romanian accent the pronuciation of "Carpathia" would tend to sound like "Corpathia", which might have been the intention of the director.

It's noticeable.. the movie is SO bad, the "actor" that plays Dracula (probably the most...apocalyptic representation of the Count ever) speaks a lousy english but it's clear he says COrpathia.... There is no way to try to find subtle or hidden meanings in this movie, it's just so awful. It's one of those that actually are funny because of the awfulness. And by the way, even if he HAD said CArpathia... Does CARPATHIA exist? As far as I know, it's the CARPATHIAN MOUNTAINS...LOL... Also, not only that but the whole "I'M THE LORD OF THE MANOR OF CO(A)RPATHIA".... Has there ever been a lamest, ridiculous nickname for the COunt? LOL
