You know, right now?
Right now, I think I’m getting old … no … actually, I know I’m getting old.
It was my birthday, Saturday, just gone.
If you want to mark it by doing something tacky, like giving me money?

AHEM!
At any rate … ?
My simple point, here, is it’s getting late: and I’m not as young as I was.
But I did want to register a minor point.
That I’ve finally managed to see a movie I’ve been interesting in, for a while.
Yes, you guessed it …
The 1922, silent German horror film that is …
Nosferatu … !

Now …
I would try and do what I usually do, at this point: give you a potted summary of the film.
I won’t: as I really want to hit the sack.
Suffice to say?
That Nosferatu is the original film version of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
A version done without the permission of his family: and a version that, as a result, landed its makers in trouble.
It’s ALSO one I found …
Mildly un-impressive, actually.
I think there’s other, better, versions of Stoker’s novel doing the rounds.
On the other hand?
I am pleased to have seen Nosferatu.
Granted, there’s better versions of the story, around …
But, sometimes?
You need to see the original.
You need to see the roots of the tree, to see how stable the tree is.
Nosferatu?
Is one of the main roots …
Nosferatu?
Is one of the main roots …
Nosferatu
