NOSFERATU ( 2024 )

I went to see the 4:10 p.m. showing of this movie at the Century 14 Vallejo here in Vallejo, CA today, Tuesday, January 7th, 2025, a Bargain Tuesday All Day. The price of admission was $6.50. I didn't bring anything to drink or to snack on with me this time.  😕

Auditorium 11, B-7

I like how a coffin  ⚰️ 

is  used  to  denote

occupied seats.

Scene Commentaries:

The promise!  😳

The town's Gypsy Welcome Committee.  😏

The Sacrificial Virgin Offering doesn't make sense! Mind you, she's beautiful and butt-naked, Lady Godiva style--replete with a Peeping Thom❗ But ... it's just plain Gratuitous Nudity is what it is, when you think about it. Although this might just be a symbolic wrap-around tool for what happens in the end ....  🤔 

The horse carriage without a coachman.  😱

He should have been old enough to know better than to cut food towards his body. And to use the plate for better leverage.  🤦‍♂️

Thomas's chest wounds reminded me of the 3 holes that the Heart Surgeon put right below the Xiphoid Process of my Sternum.

"Dream of me, only me."  😐

Back in those days, canopied beds served 2 purposes: To hang mosquito nets on. And to keep rodents and their droppings from falling down to the bed.  😬

"I'll increase the Ether."  😴

Thomas's possessed employer.  😧

"He cannot live here!"  😠

The cursed ship!  😨

The possessed!

"It's a Plague Ship!"  😰

"It cannot be a ghost because it manifests physically."  🧐

"The undead plague carrier, Nosferatu."  😦

The 3 Nights Ultimatum.  🤨

The Codex of Secrets.  😐

"It must sleep in its grave by day."  🪦 

Sex Exorcism ( Sexorcism ).  Hmm, here's a new procedure.  😜

The 2nd night.  😶

"In heathen times, you might have been a priestess of isis."  Well, that's exactly what nuns are today because the worship of mary is just a modernization of the practice of the Ancient Egyptian Temple Cult of isis! I learned this in my World Religions class.

The rich could afford to have mausoleums. Which made it easier to entomb their dear departed loved ones even in the middle of a harsh Winter. But the poor had to be buried in the ground which is hard to do in the wintertime when the ground is frozen. I wonder if the poor Europeans cremated their dead during the Winter.  🤔 

Okay, speaking of wintertime, Rigor Mortis takes longer to set in and longer to fade away.

The cadaver would still have been stiff

24 hours later when the necrophiliac

urge overcame the grieving man!

The 3rd night.  😶

Did you know that if there are at least 100 starving rats, they will not hesitate to attack a hapless human! There have been a few instances of just that happening in the sewer systems. Hobos are smart enough not to live in the sewers for any length of time; otherwise ....  😮

"I am blasphemy!"

"Her willing sacrifice has broken the plague and freed us from the the Curse of Nosferatu." 

-------

This movie has a Sexorcism scene and 2 Necrophiliac scenes. Is it groundbreaking?  🤷‍♂️

I really thought that Willem Dafoe played the role of Nosferatu. He would have been perfect for the part as he resembles the actor in the classic black-and-white version of the Nosferatu character.  😕

I don't really think that the audience--any audience, for that matter--wants to see a grotesque Nosferatu in full frontal nudity. Especially with a flaccid Pee-Pee! That constitutes as an Assault With A DEAD Weapon❗🤣 🤣 🤣❗

And Nicholas Hoult played pretty much the same character in the Comedy Horror movie, RENFIELD ( 2023 ). Which I liked better than this movie! 

Tidbits:

The duplicate key that I had a locksmith make for my Saturn SC-1 yesterday fits the ignition PERFECTLY❗👌❗ I'll have another duplicate made someday. I can postpone personally replacing my Saturn's Ignition System 'til I positively have to.

I went to Selecta Pilipino Buffet Restaurant today for lunch. Rey, the proprietor, told me that he had an appointment for a custom Hearing Aid 🦻 test fit yesterday that lasted 'til after noontime because there were many people ahead in line of him.

I filled my plate with a heaping serving

of Sweet & Sour Pork because it was 

fatty--perfect for a carnivore diet.

You really shouldn't overdo it 

with the meat consumption

'cause too much meat is

bad for the Kidneys!

That reminds me ....

The green one on the right, the 

garlic flavored kind, is

better tasting. 😋 

-------

After the movie ended, I walked to the Dollar Tree Store in the Admiral Callaghan Lane Target 🎯 Shopping Center. I bought an 18 oz ( 530 ml ) bottle of Bai Kupang Strawberry Kiwi™ and a 64 oz ( 1.89 L ) bottle of Old Orchard Healthy Balance Cranberry Grape. I had to remove my jacket twice because it was getting too hot for me to have it on. And I took it off a final time once I got back to my Saturn SC-1 which I parked on the left side of the Century 14 Vallejo cinema.

I walked a good distance by the end of the day. 🚶‍♂️

IMMORTALS 3-D, R ( 1 hr & 50 min )

There are eight movie posters to choose from.  I like this the best.

where:  EDWARDS FAIRFIELD STADIUM 16 & I-MAX in Fairfield, CA
when:  Friday, November 11th, 2011
show:  11:05 a.m.
costs:  $12.00 Ticket + $0.00 small Popcorn ( free on movie watcher reward card ) + $4.75 small Cherry Coke = $16.75
auditorium:  4
seat:  4th row, 4th seat


synopsis/overview:  An evil king, Hyperion ( Mickey Rourke ), is in search of the long-lost bow of  Epirus which he'll need to free the titans to help him conquer the world.  But an oracle, Phaedra ( Frieda Pinto ), convinces a stonemason, Theseus ( Henry Cavill ), that he is the only one who can stop the power-mad king.


noteworthy scenes:  1.) The dream; 2.) The bow of Epirus; 3.) Quarrel; 4.) Disguise; 5.) Defector; 6.) Ball crusher; 7.) "Witness Hell"; 8.) Vision; 9.) Escape; 10.) "You can see the Future but you don't have the power to change it"; 11.) Tsunami; 12.) "She believed"; 13.) Burial chamber; 14.) Brazen Bull; 15.) Gods; 16.) "They're dying"; 17.) Bastard; 18.) Envoy; 19.) "The gods chose well"; 20.) "Stand your ground"; 21.) Titans; and 22.) War in heaven.

favorite scenes:  I liked Athena's ( Isabel Lucas ) first ( ahem ) scene.

I liked the Ball Crusher scene.  ( Man, I "felt" your pain; so did the rest in the audience with me. )

I liked Theseus and Phaedra's Alone Time Together scene.  ( Hey, she's from India and I'm a Yogi.  What else do you want me to say, huh? )

audience reaction:  The audience reacted mainly to the Ball Crusher scene.  Other than that, the audience was mute for the better part of the movie.

recommendation:  I liked the fight scenes, especially since they incorporated some wrestling moves.  And we know that  wrestling was pretty much invented by the Ancient Greeks.  If you're into Action movies, go see this for its fight scenes.

spoiler alert!  Wow, that oil slick sure washed off easily with just  plain ol' water.  Ah, shouldn't the body that Theseus was carrying be stiff due to Rigor Mortis?  The bowstring was not strung tightly enough because it had too much vibration in it after Theseus twanged it.  When the executioner lifted Theseus up by the hair with his left hand, he could have used the club in his right hand to crush Theseus' ribs with.  Theseus released the arrows one after the other but they all found their marks simultaneously.  You can't kill someone simply by gouging his eyes out!  You would think that that wall would have been built with contingency measures ( i.e. rocks, arrows, boiling oil, etc. ) factored in in case it was breached.  There were just a few Titans kept in prison but, upon their released, they seemed to have multiplied like a bunch of horny rabbits!  And where did all those other gods and titans come from anyway?  From what the Ancient Greek Poet, Hesiod, wrote about Mount Tartarus, where the titans are kept in prison, only the immortals can get to it because its distance from the gods' heavenly abode is twice  that to Earth's if measured from the time that an anvil falls from heaven and lands on earth nine days later ( in other words, 18 days of Free-Fall time distance )!  I don't even want to do the math on this because it would be pointless of me to do so.  Suffice it to say that it is farther than the two days' journey that the oracle, Phaedra,  claimed it to be--even on horseback.  The 3-D effect in this movie is not used to its full advantage; in other words, save your money and see this in 2-D, instead.

fyi:  The Brazen Bull was invented in the 6th Century BC, not in the 13th Century BC as the time setting for this movie suggests.

word of advice:  The gods don't help those who don't help themselves.

tidbits:  I took my Geo Metro to Quality Tune-Up Shop for an oil change, first thing in the morning.  And I had breakfast at the MacDonald's Restaurant next door to it while I waited for the service to get done.  Then, I was gonna go to BofA to get a cashier's check to pay-off a credit card debt.  But I completely forgot that today was Veterans' Day, i.e. banks were closed and there was no mail service because it's a Federal Holiday.  ( This put an inconvenient wrinkle on my "To-Do List" for today. )

I just parked my car in the shopping center parking lot in front of the local Chinese buffet restaurant while I read today's paper and checked out the movie listings, as well as the movie reviews.

Then, it was off to Fairfield for me, the place where I decided to go see this movie and the Adam Sandler one, too.

I was busy scribbling notes on my notepad in the dark while I was watching this movie and didn't realize  soon enough that my pen had already ran out of ink.  I lost about two  pages' worth of notes!  I had a spare pen with me--three, actually--but it was already too late.  Sorry ....


Special Announcement:  I would like to take this time to say, Thank You and Welcome, to my readers in ...


Bangladesh


Thank you, once again.  Please keep on reading my weekly updates.  And don't forget to tell all of your friends, and everyone else who you know, about my movie review blogsite.
