#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 The film was pretty lame, although i only saw the first part.The score was very good though.Pity the Varese CD sounds like crap.Stefancos- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,353 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Stefancos, wich one do you mean? The Fury Deluxe or the Original release? I have the original, with only 10 tracks, but I wouldn't decribed as mere crab. I think the LP was even shorter.If you talk about the sound thats being crap then also would like to know.In other words, what is it that you don't like about it?----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elmo Lewis 6 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 I taped the movie when it aired some years ago in Spain . . .But I couldn't gather the interest to sit and watch it so I just taped over it (I think it was Gladiator, or a Bruce Springsteen special from last fall).I have the CD though. It's right there waiting to be played again after three years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,353 Posted May 4, 2003 Share Posted May 4, 2003 Stefancos,My mistake!Ah, Dracula and The Fury, I always mix them up. They are written in the same period too. Both are released by Varese. And both covers have similar aspects.And I'm looking for an excuse for screwing up big time. Sorry for the blunder.----------------Alex Cremers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 4, 2003 Author Share Posted May 4, 2003 To late, you will never be forgiven, you'll spend a lifetime performing failed attemps at restitution.But i'll forget it for now.Stefancos- who thinks Dracula and The Fury are completely different.

Oskar 77 Posted May 5, 2003 Share Posted May 5, 2003 I thought the movie was quite alright, especially if you consider it was coming from the director whose previous movie credits included Saturday Night Fever Ofcourse it was nowhere near the classic 1931 version starring the ultimate Dracula; Bela Lugosi.Langella does an admirable job as the bloodsucking Count, giving him more arrogance and sex-appeal. Very different from the bad guys he has played since in CutThroat Island, DS9 and those Reitman comedies.And I was impressed by Sir Olivier's attempt at the Dutch language.The score, needless to say, was excellentOskar - who would buy an expanded/remasterd CD immediately.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted May 5, 2003 Author Share Posted May 5, 2003 Yeah, Langella was good, he has always been a very dependable, underrated actor.But personally i preferred Coppola's version, with Antony Hopkins brilliantly chewing the fat and not coming anywere close to sounding Dutch. Yes, the film is all style over substance...but what a style.Stefancos- who also prefers Kilar's Dracula effort over Williams'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
