2017 Reading: Dracula

#3 A book of letters


So, why in the hell do most movie depictions of Dracula (look at you, Coppola!) portray Lucy as this attention whoring slut-bag? Seriously, she was the nicest most sincere and innocent character. I just don't get it. But, whatever.

So, pretty much little to no actual Dracula in the book. I guess it was okay. I wonder where everyone got this idea of a charismatic, sexy goth man that is Count Dracula, when in actuality, there's hardly a description of him at all and NO mention of interaction with females except to feed and even that is not described in any kind of depth.

Where's the Gary Oldman stud-muffin in purple glasses seducing everyone in sight? Where's the Gerard Butler in the long flowing coat, giving lopsided smirks to unsuspecting scantily clad women in record stores? Where is Frank Langella with his soft lighting and soft-core porn? Christopher Lee with his intense stare? Bela Lugosi with his charming accent and witty compliments?
