Dream cast for a new P&P movie or limited series?

Like for reals? If I had unlimited budget

Nicholas Hoult as Fitzwilliam Darcy

Olivia Cooke as Elizabeth Bennett

Millie Bobby Brown as Georgiana Darcy

John Boyega as Charles Bingley

Tessa Thompson as Caroline Bingley

Sarah Bolger as Jane Bennet

Maisie Williams As Lydia Bennet

Colin O'Donoghue as George Wickham

Savannah Steyn as Charlotte Lucas

Rupert Grint as Mr Colins

Lewis Tan as Darcy's hotter cousin Colonel Fitzwilliam

Anthony Hopkins as Mr Bennett Fiona Shaw as Mrs Bennet

Also I know that nothing tops Dame Judy dench. But I'd love to see Tilda Swinton pay Lady Catherine in all her scary beautiful glory.

Can't think of who would be good to play Mary and Kitty but so far. Yeah this is my Dreamcast if a big budget studio decided to take on the project.

Arabian Nights

Like everyone in the world right now, i was absolutely captivated by the Dahmer series on Netflix. I'm too episodes in and, goddamn, is this show brilliant but F*ck me if it isn’t draining. That show is tension incarnate. I haven’t been this goddamn stressed watching something since Uncut Gems. Suffice it to say, i need a break. I needed some breathing room from what is easily the best performance of Evan Peters’ career. I can’t speak for the entirety of the series but those first two episodes are f*cking brilliant. So, to cleanse my palette of murder and cannibalism, i opted to take in one of the many, many, films i missed this summer. I think the last film i saw in theaters was Thor IV. It was a disappointing end to the summer, my first summer back to the cinema after the Wuha claimed two years of my movie going life. It was a summer that shouldn’t have ended in disappointment because i should have went to see Three Thousand Years Of Longing in theaters.

Longing is one of the best movies I've seen in the last half decade and that’s no hyperbole. This thing is what movies should be. It’s gorgeous. This film absolutely seduces the eye with such a vibrant presentation and so many surreal images. This thing is by no means an acid trip, you’re not falling into the abstract by any measure, but I'd be lying if i said there wasn’t a distinct and earnest feeling of whimsy permeated throughout the run time. Seriously, this is a master craft on film making. The transitions, the scene composition, the use of color and sound, the direction, the performances; Everything is so goddamn brilliant, it’s hard to imagine this thing was made in the modern age. In an age of remakes and adaptions and comic book fare, Longing feels like a throwback to a bygone era of do-it-yourself creativity, where you have to work to bring your vision to life within the confines of a minuscule budget and legitimate magic is captured in that toil. I miss films like this. It’s why i love A24 so much. That studio carries that lost spirit in every production they green light.

This film is easily the second strongest film I've seen this year, after Everything Everywhere All At Once. I know that it’s considered a flop but don’t let that fool you. Longing is a f*cking gem, to be sure. It’s carried by some of the best work out of Idris Elba since his days as John Luther and an ageless Tilda Swinton returning that energy in a rare, sparring, performance where her partner makes her so much better. I was absolutely captivated by the Djinn’s stories and even moreso when you take into account that this was George Miller. Mr. Mad Max, himself, coming through and blessing us with his unique vision and inspired eye for visual storytelling. And these visuals tell a whole goddamn story. This man’s filmography s as eclectic as his approach to direction and i love him for it every day. He wrote this film, just like he wrote Babe, Fury Road, and f*king Happy Feet. Of course the movie about a Djinn betrayed by love, finding love with a woman who can’t interpret her own desires, is something that would appeal to him.

Three Thousand Years Of Longing is an exceptional example of pure, cinematic, storytelling and everyone should watch it at least once. I can’t even call this a review because i can’t objectively find fault in this film for what it wanted to do. Maybe it’s a poor adaption of The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye or maybe the pacing is a little suspect for some. Maybe the climax comes too abruptly or the creative choices made by Romero might chaff, i don’t know. Even if these are things, they are minuscule inconveniences in the face of the complete film. I loved those movie way more than i expected to and i am disappointed in myself for not catching it in a theater. My goodness would this have been a strong ass  2theatrical experience. Missed opportunity, for sure. If you missed it, too, rectify that right now and check this thing out of VOD. It’s worth the loot and definitely worth the watch. Also, the last film i saw in theaters was Nope. Which make missing Longing in theaters even worse. Nope is one of the technically sound films I've ever seen and so is Longing. That back-to-back punch would have solidified this year as a successful return to the theater. F*cking bummer, dude..

Hello would you recommend me some vampire movies?

Yeah, sure. I'm wearing a Dracula shirt at this very moment, so it seems timely.

You didn't ask for deep cuts, so there will be a lot of obvious ones in here.

Nosferatu (both the 1922 and 1979 versions are worth watching, but be aware that the 1922 version is silent and black and white)

Dracula (if you watch the 1931 version, watch with the Philip Glass score if possible. The 1992 version is also worth watching, and the 1979 version is very underrated. If you want to watch more Universal Dracula, follow up Drac 31 with Dracula's Daughter, but then skip Son of Dracula and watch Return of the Vampire instead. It's a serial-numbers-filed-off sequel to Dracula, but at least it has Lugosi. Then Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein)

Horror of Dracula (1958, imo the best Dracula movie. All of the sequels are worth at least a look, imo, but the first two sequels--Brides of Dracula and Prince of Darkness--are the essential ones. Note that Brides of Dracula doesn't actually have Dracula in it.)

There are plenty of Hammer vampire movies without Dracula in them that are worth a look, most notably the Karnstein trilogy--The Vampire Lovers, Lust for a Vampire, and Twins of Evil--which are at least nominally based on Le Fanu's Carmilla, the first of which has Ingrid Pitt and Peter Cushing. Otherwise, check out Countess Dracula (which has Ingrid Pitt as Elizabeth Bathory), Captain Kronos, and Vampire Circus, the premise of which I probably don't have to tell you. Kiss of the Vampire is also pretty good.

Vampyr (1932, black and white, mostly silent, probably not what you're thinking of in a vampire movie, but also very cool)

Mark of the Vampire (1935, Tod Browning with Bela Lugosi, in a remake of Browning's own lost London After Midnight, which had Lon Chaney Sr)

Isle of the Dead (1945, a Val Lewton picture with Boris Karloff, though not a traditional vampire tale)

Black Sunday (1960, maybe vampire-adjacent, black and white)

Santo vs the Vampire Women (1962)

Black Sabbath (1963, this is an anthology and only one segment is vampires, but it's got Boris Karloff, so)

The Last Man on Earth (1964)

Count Yorga, Vampire (1970)

Let's Scare Jessica to Death (1971)

Blacula (1972)

Ganja and Hess (1973)

Martin (1977, George Romero)

Fright Night (1985, but the remake is also good)

Mr Vampire (1985)

Near Dark (1987, streaming on Shudder now after being impossible to find for years)

The Lost Boys (1987)

Cronos (1994, Guillermo del Toro)

From Dusk Till Dawn (1996)

Blade (1998)

Shadow of the Vampire (2000, fictional account of the making of Nosferatu with Willem Dafoe as Max Schreck)

Blade 2 (2002)

Night Watch (2004)

Let the Right One In (2008)

Thirst (2009, Park Chan Wook)

Byzantium (2012)

Rigor Mortis (2013)

A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014)

Only Lovers Left Alive (2014, Jim Jarmusch with Tilda Swinton and Tom Hiddleston)

What We Do in the Shadows (2015)

Bloodsucking Bastards (2015)

If Dracula's Daughter and the Karnstein trilogy got you interested in the surprisingly robust subgenre of lesbian vampires, try:

Blood and Roses (1960, another Carmilla adaptation)

The R**** of the Vampire (1968)

Requiem for a Vampire (1971)

Daughters of Darkness (1971)

Vampyros Lesbos (1971)

The Blood Spattered Bride (1972)

Vampyres (1974)

Fascination (1979)

Hopefully that's enough to get you started, sorry if I didn't say your favorite. I haven't seen every movie ever made

Mrs. George Swinton (Elizabeth Ebsworth), John Singer Sargent, 1897, Art Institute of Chicago: American Art

Mrs. George Swinton epitomizes the painterly virtuosity that made John Singer Sargent one of the most fashionable portraitists in late-19th-century Europe and America. Extravagant color and brushwork were central to Sargent’s success, as was his ability to present a refined and appealing image of his sitter. In Elizabeth “Elsie” Swinton’s case, he accentuated her regal bearing and feminine dress. Sargent harmonized the realism of her face and body with bursts of impressionistic brushstrokes describing the shimmering, translucent fabric descending from her shoulder. Swinton was also known for her musical talents; at the time her portrait was executed, she was recognized as an amateur singer and later began performing professionally. Wirt D. Walker Collection Size: 231 × 124 cm (90 3/4 × 48 3/4 in.) Medium: Oil on canvas
