What's the best vampire movie, though?

Hotel Transylvania

[BurtReynolds]

I could go the rest of my life without watching another vampire movie. And I think I will. I don't care what big new vision you have (you don't), I just don't need that in my life.

Probably zombies, too.

Best one? Lost Boys?

How do you guys feel about literary icons like Peter Pan or Dracula or Jesus being rebooted every generation or more? These well-established and quite popular stories that predate cinema that filmmakers can cash in on? Are these any better or worse than someone rebooting an original movie?

It's fucking boring at this point.

What movie would you like to reboot, Burt?

Neverending Story.

Have you read the book?

Nope but I assume it makes some sense compared to the movie. That movie has some good ideas, though. Just wasn't executed very well.

Don't be stupid, Burt. It's a great film and you know it.

I love it, but... it's a mess. Probably saw it a hundred times as a kid though.

It's no Princess Bride, for sure.

No, but I loved the vibe of that movie. The horse scene? Rockbiter telling the story of how his friends and family were ripped away? The lazerbeam oracle thingy? There was some cool dark shit in that movie.

I genuinely adore it. And I think it still holds up.

Did you like Interview With a Vampire?

Barely remember it. Wasn't crazy about it. It felt like most book adaptations: Choppy.

Hey, remember when the world revolved around Anne Rice and John Grisham? Strange days.

I was an avid collector of the Anne Rice novels when I was at university

I'm a really big fan of director Neil Jordan.

The Butcher Boy is one of my all time favorites. What an underrated film. Total masterpiece. If you can get your hands on that, I HIGHLY recommend it. Just a remarkable film.

I also really loved The End of the Affair, In Dreams, Interview With a Vampire and The Crying Game. Breakfast on Pluto was okay. Not my favorite but not a disaster. Michael Collin and We're No Angels are also pretty good, but I kinda have to be in the mood for them.

Haven't seen any of this others.

EDIT: Oh Wait! That's a lie. I've also see High Spirits! Which is awesome. Yeah, Neil's one of my favorites.
