The universe is hereby forbidden to do anything sufficiently outrageous or noteworthy that I absolutely have to cover it: it’s the last Tuesday in August, for crying out loud. Surely Fate, Karma, and/or Destiny can slack off one day.
No, I mean it. Go watch Nosferatu or something (yeah, YouTube’s trying to get into the instant movie business).

PS: Shadow of the Vampire was an excellent take on this flick, by the way.
I was very disappointed in Shadow Of The Vampire myself. I thought it went too far. I had assumed it was about Max Schreck getting a little carried away with his method acting, but come to find out he was the real thing after all. Lame.
I liked it, though. Particularly the way that Orlok could wander around without any particular attempt to hide his habits and the film crew would just shrug; it was, after all, the Weimar Republic era and they were all used to a LOT freakier behavior.
Moe- have you heard Jill Tracy’s soundtrack for Nosferatu?
No, I have not. Is it good?
Oh, it has its charms. She wrote chamber quartet music to synch with the original movie.
Here’s a sample from Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WiEn7krwAYI
