Every time Udo Kier showed up in something I was watching, it was a delight. I have loved this man's work forever, and his early starring roles in Andy Warhol's Flesh for Frankenstein and Blood for Dracula are not to be missed. The blood of these whores is killing me!

I’m more partial to the novel than the film, but #MOCKINGJAY never blinks. It’s a bold, powerful political message that’s unflinching in its depiction of war, revolution, and trauma. I story so much more relevant today than it was just a short 10 years ago.
