Saw it today and was enthralled for much of it - the atmosphere in this movie is so thick you could get high off of it. Loved the section in the village outside Orlok's castle and then the section in the castle itself. When I was walking out of the theater I recalled that 24 years ago Willem Dafoe played Max Schreck in Shadow of the Vampire, so him playing the Van Helsing stand in here is a nice full circle moment.

Let's not get crazy. They can both go.

Can the word "gaslighting" please be retired? It's not a synonym for lying. The editors sure hate Brynn this season.

I've never liked Dorit, but I'm loving the way she's managing to call Kyle out and cut off the usual avenues she takes to ensure she comes out on top of a conflict. When things took a turn between them I assumed Dorit would flounder being on the outs, but she's risen to the occasion. On another note, Jennifer Tilly seems like a lot of fun.

Erika doesn't understand why Garcelle didn't marry Sean Penn? Really? Sean Penn? I can count on no hands the number of good things I've ever heard about Sean Penn.

Lol at Carly popping out of the darkness to butt into something that doesn't actually involve her.

9 seasons in seems a little late for Mr. Darby to be worrying about protecting his reputation. The shit's already out there. Can't believe Wendy of all people (what's she got? 10 degrees?) knows nothing about her own mortgage. Just because you're leaving it to Eddie to arrange things and set up the payments doesn't mean you can't take five minutes to review the statement and see where things are at.

Gio having Benjamin Button syndrome and turning out to be Lois' grandfather would at least make it interesting.

I've never felt particularly invested in Sam since I wasn't watching the show during her glory years, but so far I've found the fallout from her death quite moving. DZ and NLG were the standouts for me, but just about everyone is rising to the occasion. The kid who plays Danny is a little too... smiley for this material, though, and during the Dante/Sonny scenes I was very distracted by how bad MB's dye job is (is it just me or does it look blue in places along his hairline?) I can't believe what a pissbaby Michael is being about Willow kissing someone else when he, you know, covered up a murder on their property. Are they just dropping the Jagger plot now? It feels like now that Alexis has been cleared, they're just moving on.

Lol at Justin making his "point." If you bought the product that you're now throwing out, throwing it out doesn't equate to not supporting it because they already have your money. If it was gifted to you then you weren't "supporting" it in the first place and by throwing it out on camera, you're supporting it by giving it air time and free advertising. Lisa's Whitney impression: 4/10. It's hilling, Lisa. Come on, that's so easy.

Maybe they'll both agree to just let Dante keep raising them.

Sleeping with Michael? My God, hasn't Sasha suffered enough?

Erin is so tiresome. If you have a problem with Jenna, then go and talk to her, stop trying to triangulate it with everyone else. Erin deciding that she doesn't want to be friends with you is a real "nothing of value was lost" situation. Rebecca Minkoff is like a black hole on screen, all the energy just gets sucked out whenever she's there. As an unabashed Clueless fan, loved Jessel's party.

Lol, imagine being Lisa Barlow's security guy and having your job consist 100% of nonsense like having to call police precincts around the country to defend her honor.

I'm sorry, Justin thought it was okay for him to invite someone to someone else's party? What? I did not know that there was a Jared Osmond before this show and I would like to go back to a time when I did not know that he existed, please. His appeal is as baffling as Harry Dubin's was on RHONY. Like... this guy? Really? Why?
