Hmm....has anyone here watched the 2024 version of Nosferatu?

What was it like?

I am tempted to give it a go, but I had to watch the original (the 1922) version - which was actually quite darn entertaining! And there's always something about silent pictures that makes films even more awesome.

p.s: Speaking of silent films, if you've not seen Metropolis yet, please do so. *chef's kiss*

Oh, and I even dared to watch the 1979 Nosferatu remake too...and that was pretty...interesting to say the least. As one can expect from a Hollywood remake, they took a few liberties especially with the finale. It's as if they wanted to make a Nosferatu 2 with the way that one ended. Urgh.

Verdict: 1922 version was better.

So, with those two movies in the bag, and seeing the trailer for the 2024 version, methinks they might have combined the two previous versions (and of course added extra stuff).

But yeah...is it worth the watch? I don't want to waste my money on something that will make me want to toss out my computer.

Angelica Weatherby- Freezing0* Author Icon - Scarier? Maybe I'm getting too old, but I don't scare easily these days. *Laugh* I just want a good story or at least a good enough tribute to the original.
StaiNe misses the snow Author Icon - Oh my gosh, I'm still trying to get through Shogun! I'm ashamed. The T.V. version really trimmed down a lot. That book is heavy reading. *Facepalm*
Not yet on the 2024 version. Granddaughter 20 yr did and liked it.
1922 one rock's! A real classic.

It's a great piece.... this round is going to make them, (the Sunday judge,) work... iKïyå§ama Author IconMail Icon I know you are busier than a one-legged cricket in a centipede race, but you are a wonderful writer, and I am unafraid to speak for a dozen of other WdC members when I say we wish you shared more...
Joey says" Happy 2025 Author Icon - Thanks for the very kind compliments. I'm all in a fluster over here. *Blush* I saw your excellent entry, and was ready to toss mine away!
Still, I made a promise to myself to try to write more this year, so wish me luck. It's been a while since my muses were coperative. *Sob*
iKïyå§ama Author Icon - Oh goodness, do not despair... there is no doubt about your item. It reads very quick and smart.. mine is, but the dribble of an old man pissed that he cannot do more than I can… I am the cliche of the remediation of "I once could do it… but now, in my dotage, I am a splash in the pan." (some might even use the prefix "Bed")
Ah, it's been one heck of a week.
Coughing, sneezing, low-grade fever, you name it.
I always dread the cold season, but since my relocation to England, this body just can't seem to get used to it after all this time.
Calling off work is no fun, and you feel double guilty when you keep getting notices that nurses are needed urgently because, like me, they too are feeling the strain of the season and have to call off sick.
Don't think I've slept for more than two hours at a time, and I'm in a constant state of feeling tired and yet unable to concentrate (how I even managed to write that story yesterday is a miracle in itself) or get in a comfortable enough position to sleep.
I.am.just.exhausted.of.getting.sick!

I hope you feel better soon, Miss Kiya. No matter what you believe others may think of you for calling in, remember that REST is a weapon in the fight to get better. Use it.

Jim Hall Author Icon - 'Fortunately', it's not COVID. Also, had very negative side effects after taking that particular vaccine, so not taking it ever again.
Sending you good vibes for healing, Kiya. Here's my prescription: Drip a lot of Chicken soup, take 2 zinc, and call me in the morning. *Smile*

You can do it! I'm still trying to figure out whether to load most of them into a particular folder or a book item or what *Pthb*
Amethyst Snow Angel Author Icon - I am going to use a book item. Folder takes up too much space.
Just a little animation I made for anniversaries.
