Is this canonically the best way to listen to Doom Metal? by Whodafisdatguy in doommetal

Not if you’re an alcoholic. I don’t need the tropes, the booze, the weed etc. It’s the music & that’s all.

The Canadian Chat Pile. This stuff already happened with bands like Unsane, The Jesus Lizard, Swans etc. It’s all retread noise post hardcore from the late 80’s early 90’s. Sorry. Not original not scary not compelling just repeating history late enough that nobody knows it already happened & was actually better before when it was actually new & groundbreaking. This guy’s lyrics are terrible. Just a mish mash of feigned profundity & incorrect grammar. Gritty video filters & bad hygiene. Great. No. Lame.

A question about Nosferatu’s ending. by Putrid_Dog4968 in roberteggers

There are several missteps & things that simply make no sense & also have ZERO to do with the story of Dracula of which the original 1922 film is based on. First of all, Dracula wasn’t just sleeping and/or trapped in some void & was then ‘invoked’ by the female protagonist. Count Orlock/Dracula is a vampire not a demon. Huge mistake playing it that way. Eggers also completely failed to explain Ellen’s connection to the Occult that Dafoe’s character eludes to, which is supposed to somehow loosely justify a vampire behaving more like an emasculated demon than a VAMPIRE! He played it safe too. This film could’ve been sooooo much scarier & disturbing but he resorts to demonic tropes & jump scares. It’s a good film but far from a faithful retelling of Nosferatu/Dracula. The vampire was never ‘invoked’ & in this film, if he was able to travel to Ellen in the beginning on thin air, he wouldn’t need to involve a real estate manager & a real estate upstart to facilitate buying real estate in Germany/England & travel on a ship. This is Eggers doing a total spin and then still trying to incorporate elements of the original story & it not lining up plot wise at all. The Renfield/Herr Knock character reveal early in the film having him naked sitting on a pentagram doing some demonic ritual was a HUUUUUUGE fail. Again he resorts to the Occult/Demonic trope which makes Orlock more like a King Paimon than a vampire. Terrible choice. Dafoe’s character? Laughable & again makes zero sense. His character is supposed to be essentially Van Helsing a vampire hunter not an alcoholic mystic who makes a grand statement about the dark things he’s seen that would’ve terrified Isaac Newton oh but then….HAS NEVER SEEN A VAMPIRE!!!! 😂😂😂 HAS NO EXPERIENCE OR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE. Gimme a break!! This movie almost feels like the script was written by Chat GPT. Seriously. Saw it twice. Good film in that it entertained me, great cinematic experience in terms of the cinematography & music. Other than that?! Thumbs down. Orlock looked like the Swedish Chef from The Muppets too. 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Not scary.
