Totally agree here. Some really strong moments in this adaptation. I do wish the Hammer films had approached Dracula in the same way and Christopher Lee would have done an excellent job.
Since there is a new Dracula that is apparently pursuing the "tragic lost love" backstory, I want to talk about my favorite Drac, which is Louis Jourdan in the 1977 BBC miniseries COUNT DRACULA.

We know exercise is good for us in many ways, but we don’t always have the best relationship with it. Why is that and what can we do about it? Read more in my latest wee counselling blog: www.mckellarcounselling.com/post/a-healt...

Giving blood tonight, which I'm always grateful to do. It's not that long ago the ban on gay men giving blood was lifted. I remember how othering and patronising conversations with 'well meaning types' justifying that ban were. Urgh.

I work with asylum seekers fleeing persecution for being LGBTQ+ and see first hand the damage our existing dehumanising and degrading asylum system already does to people in crisis. The proposed changes make things even worse. Please consider completing this consultation before it closes tomorrow.
PS. Not too late to tell the government what you think about their proposed changes to Indefinite Leave to Remain - the public consultation is open until 12th Feb.

I really should avoid Stephen King reddit groups, but "Carrie did nothing wrong" sure is an interesting take. Probably best to skip social events with those people...

A small but very deep thing that bothers me about generative AI as a shortcut to practice and work and skill is the basic assumption that it’s impossible to take pleasure in a creative pursuit that you aren’t very good at and I assure you that is not the case

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

A random recommendation has put Maelstrom (1985) on my radar tonight. Paul Darrow in the first scene and now Trevor Baxter has turned up... :)

Another few library reads finished then. Millar's Nemesis was lazy garbage. Morrison's Nameless has gorgeous artwork but feels so close to Alan Moore's Neonomicon/Providence and it's.. uh.. Peak Morrison with lots of (exhausting, ymmv) references to 'real world' magic.
