    Snow Aight.

    Kinda reminded me of Phantom Menace where it's childlike and fun for two seconds and then it is the most boring thing in the world.

    Not to be that person comparing two actors, but I find the way Max Shreck portrays Nosferatu compared to Skarsgard a million times more engaging. Shreck plays Orlock/Nosferatu playfully, like an alien, almost childlike and timid, like he just happens to be the bi-product of satan and simultaneously still have this ability to be creepy and horrorfying. What makes a character memorable is the layers, Orlock is weird, funny a little goofy and also he will suck the blood out of your fingers if you're not careful

    Watched this because it was reviewed on Mish and Zach's Leguizamarama podcast.

    The short is an interesting watch in regards to seeing actors and filmmakers dealing with growing pains. I would recommend film students and actors in training watch this as an exercise in what makes or breaks a story and performance.
    John Leguizamo really lifts this material and cool to see a young Edie Falco pre- Sopranos I never in a million years would have guessed the director would have gone on to direct the "...and then?" Scene from Dude Where's My Car?
