Was speaking English. Me neither, it shocks you so much you never think about it. A writer must decide if something like that is noticeable or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867678243594042401.post-84018858958705110882023-08-19T01:20:36.755-04:002023-08-19T01:20:36.755-04:00Niice postNiice postPauline Knows Great Winehttps://paulinenashwinesandfood.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867678243594042401.post-41917572369775510402016-10-11T03:05:56.818-04:002016-10-11T03:05:56.818-04:00If you are looking for an excellent contextual ad ...If you are looking for an excellent <b>contextual ad network</b>, I suggest that you check out <b><a href="http://syntaxlinks.com/affiliate-network-reviews/network/22/Propeller-Ads/" rel="nofollow">PropellerAds</a></b>.Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07287821785570247118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867678243594042401.post-88863206585000129582012-11-24T13:44:29.480-05:002012-11-24T13:44:29.480-05:00only a straight man would think Louis Jourdan need...only a straight man would think Louis Jourdan needs to alter his appearance to play Dracula.

Positively chilling.<br /><br />2) There's a scene in this where Harker realizes just how screwed he is and he collapses face down on his bed and starts sobbing and biting his pillow--it kind of looked like he was getting buggered in the rear by Simon Adebisi of the HBO series OZ.Glenn Greenberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13080935309485100122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1867678243594042401.post-53834858578407745522012-10-08T17:39:58.973-04:002012-10-08T17:39:58.973-04:00Haha, I knew you would love it.

All the Dracula films have their own unique qualities, but this is the only version that "feels" like the book to me.
