    It’s probably not a good look for your film when you start off with “Everyone thought my other films sucked” and none of those allegations were true. It sort of sounds like you made a flop. Would have been funny if he’d included a few glowing quotes about Godfather III, though.

    Also, incredibly ballsy to include “Dracula” on your list of panned films, given that the movie was mid at best.

      I think Dracula would be considered a cult classic. I love it, the ridiculous acting, MFing Gary Oldman Dracula, the extreme stylization,the costumes, there’s just so much to love.

      It apparently has a tomato score of 74% which is perfect to me. All movies should strive to be 7/10s: not too polished and clean, not trying for mass appeal, but doing something so good and weird that it hits just right for some people and completely turns off others.

        I think it got panned for a reason when it was released. The first fifteen minutes have a very different tone from the rest of the movie. This isn’t Oldman’s best performance by a long shot. If you want a cheesy vampire movie, Renfield with Nicholas Cage as Dracula was substantially better.

        I guess. I’m definitely in the 26%.
