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.

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

I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
