So they are admitting that perverts are evil?

As long as Kate Beckinsale is still a vampire wrapped in skin tight leather outfits, I will watch it once when it finally gets to Basic Cable.

The British television show Strictly Come Dancing had 2 guys dancing together on their results show last night, at least the second time they've done that. Their format is copied around the world (the American version is called Dancing With The Stars) so they act as a test market for conditioning audiences to accept same sex dancing. So far they have resisted calls for a same sex celebrity/pro hookup for the competition but I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen soon.

I stopped after John Pertwee.
His son Sean was the primary reason I watched Gotham.
I used to think I was weird for thinking “that old man Alfred” was hot.
Then I found out he’s 3 years younger than I am.
Dammit.
That left a mark.

Good comments about Sean! I was a friend of Jons for 14 years until he left us. When I first met Sean, he was a teenager with no ambition to be an actor. One day Jon happily told me that Sean was joining the family business at last!
Im always impressed to see how well Sean has done, though I havent seen Gotham or his other work. Jon would be so proud.

Stupid. By definition vampires are not human and thus asexual.
Wtf is wrong with people trying to put their human possessed naval centered selves into every topic.

There was a cheesy 70s show called Cliffhangers and I think it’s vampire idea was better.

This looks pretty stupid; however, I always thought it odd that there seemed to be some sexual confusion in the old Dracula movies: Dracula's attacks on the women had definite sexual/seduction overtones, and when he went after the men something didn't quite work.
Hollywood's "improvements" on classics never work.
This was rampant back in the 1930s and '40s, when there was no attempt at any kind of authenticity, and Hollywood cranked out butcher-jobs, like that Greer Garson shouldabeen-aborted Pride and Prejudice, where arch-meanie Lady Catherine de Bourgh was just a sweet old lady who wanted to make sure her nephew was happy.
Hollywood's recent hack-up of The Scarlet Letter was in the same vacuous tradition.
Transgendering Van Helsing into a woman appears to be following suit.

I understand. I like Capaldi as an actor a lot especially since he was a Doctor Who fan who made good, however the scripts and the way the show went during that time ruined his era for me.

Germans could bomb Pearl Harbor! You mean they didn't????
I was ready to get up and rally behind John Belushi but I remembered it was only a movie. With a history lesson.

Kid in Journey to the Center of the Earth.
In remake in 2008 there was a 13 year old.
I am glad you overlooked that remake which along with
the Time Machine remake tried to ruin two of my favorite childhood memory favorite movies.
Sorry I wasn’t specific and you are right I shouldn’t criticize adaptations as I did.
The casting of Pat Boone (like Frankie Avalon in Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea) was to appeal to teenage fans. Does that make us feel old? Yes.
