Where's the spork?
My film class just watched Andy Warhol's Dracula. All of a sudden, I find myself in much greater sympathy for Valerie Solanas. I find it difficult to believe that it's a cult classic. I mean, sure, there is a ton of gratuitous sex, lesbian incest, and obviously fake gore, but it still manages to be completely boring. It tries for funny and achieves random. I feel like I've been forced to read deliberate badfic for an hour and a half. If something is relying on deliberate attempts to be shocking, there probably isn't much to it beyond that. On top of that, it is one of the most blatant examples of "No, really, she'll succumb to your manly forcefulness, women like being raped" that I have ever seen in a movie.
In short, THIS MOVIE SUCKS!
