I think now I'm good. Let's talk about this horny-ass vampire.
Speaker 2:Let's, let's, hey everyone, welcome to High and Dry Podcast, the only podcast keeping alive the fandom, that is Godzilla the series, and that was that short-lived cartoon series based off of the Godzilla film featuring Matthew Broderick. They decided to do an animated film off of that and we're gonna what get an animation style for? This. It lasted two years. Two years, no way, yeah, and it was just an animated cartoon based on the Matthew Broderick Godzilla of 1998.
Speaker 1:People really shat on that movie but I personally loved that movie. I saw it at a drive-in. It was back, it was back to back with can't hardly wait, and I was like 13 years old and I couldn't hardly wait for godzilla nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I saw that matthew broderick one god, I think. I like I was in like fifth grade or something like that, and I was at a friend's house, um, but he's one of those, like you remember, did you ever have one of those friends whose parents, like, had no rules whatsoever? Oh yeah yeah, and so that that kid in fifth grade introduced me to like all the titties that were in movies it's, it's art, it's cinema yeah, yeah, no, that's that's how I felt too back then.
Speaker 2:I was very just drawn into like, especially like the juxtaposition of sexual themes across a comedic you know medium. It was just very wild for me as there was. However old, you are?
Speaker 1:in fifth grade there was this one set of movies that uh were like death wish. What were they? Um, it was, it was. He was a teacher and he'd just go around like murdering all the students. Uh, do you guys know what? Do you guys know what I'm talking about? He?
Speaker 2:like if there was like gangs at a school.
Speaker 1:Jesus, I have no idea, but there was a. There was a set of movies that were like yeah, kill those teenage gang, urban gang members white guy yeah. Hell yeah, and. And my parents loved those movies, so I got to see some titties because they were shock meanwhile, you're getting this just fucking warped worldview dumped on you yeah, subliminal racism I'll add in awesome.
Speaker 2:So. So anyway, guys, welcome to high and dry podcast. Um, I'm your host, ryan baron north with me as always, james crossland and luke. How you guys doing today?
Speaker 1:good. I'm doing excellent doing good. I took about a five and a half hour nap today, so it was nice, I'm living the dream I'm running off of, uh, two hours of sleep myself.
Speaker 2:I got called in for a drug test this morning at 4 am, knew it was coming, and so I didn't fall asleep until about two ish, two thirty ish, and I've just been sort of running off of my brain's inability to fall asleep now at this point. So that's what I'm doing. That's not a fuck, I'm doing well. So for those of you join us for the first time, this is what we're going to be doing. We're not going to be talking about Godzilla the series. We already know that. You know everything about it.
Speaker 2:So we're not going to we're not going to insult your intelligence. Oh shit, we're this today. We're going to be it down in three parts. First, we're going to talk about this film. We're going to give you the definitive high and dry rating, so you know what you're getting into. We're going to get out of the golden path and we're going to talk about some of the more intense themes of this particular film that maybe you missed, maybe you didn't. And then we're going to insert ourselves drugs and or alcohol into the film and we ourselves, drugs and or alcohol into the film. We're going to see where that gets us.
Speaker 1:But what makes it so fun and special is that we're going to be doing a drunken high. So, uh, fellas, what are you smoking this week? This time I've got, uh, gummy mints. Oh, it's called, yeah, it's called gummy mints, and it's an indica. It's not a gummy or a mint.
Speaker 2:No, no, no no, no, that's just what it's called gummy mints and it's an indica. It's not a gummy or a mint.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no, no, that's just what it's called. It's a dry ass flower. I don't recommend chewing on it. It's a.
Speaker 2:Flintstone vitamin. Oh yeah, I've got the same as last week citrus cherry or cherry citrus, whatever it is, and over here we're getting ready for a snowstorm, so I had to make sure I had a fresh bottle and I picked up this special edition for our Missouri customers. Only it's Knob Creek Select 120 horsepower. We're going to see what Missouri tastes like.
Speaker 1:Awesome that looks gross.
Speaker 2:Yeah, probably this place is a shithole, no doubt about it. So let's line them up. Let's line them up. This first one goes out to our film this week, which is Nosferatu Cheers, boys, cheers this week which is nosferatu cheers, cheers all right, uh tastes like missouri what does missouri taste like? Like um, yeah, there's no, there's no infrastructure holding it up. I mean, there's a lot of self-righteousness, a lot of pride in a place that, no, is shitty. Yeah, it's like that. Oh, that sounds delicious.
Speaker 2:Yeah, fuck you. Missouri High and Dry officially gives Missouri one out of five stars. No takesies-ies, no takesies backsies. All right. So our second shot, second hit, second toast. Um, this one's gonna go out to our newest listeners, these ones are coming at us from avon lake, ohio wow, yeah, very exotic it's. It's next to a lake in ohio, from what I understand.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but in relevance to like an unknown city couldn't tell you oh my god, guys, I've been searching for this fucking movie for so long and then all I did was put schlock at the end and it showed up. It's called the substitute. It's called the substitute. That was the series of movies, and the first movie was like more serious and it had um tom berenger oh god, I'm looking at, I'm looking at the cover of this and you can oh, you could just tell.
Speaker 1:And it was like. It was like this guy's like I don't want to kill these kids, you know I don't. I hate the idea of like shooting these drug dealer kids, but then, but then, as the movies progress, it's just a reason for him to run into a with a shotgun and just mow down black and brown kids.
Speaker 2:And I saw.
Speaker 1:I saw all four of these fucking movies. Yeah, that's what life in the Midwest is like. All right, yeah, sorry, nevermind.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, here's to Ohio. Yeah, avon Lake, cheers, cheers. Interestingly enough, our last five episodes have seen 20% more viewership in Europe than in North America 20 more percent where In Europe?
Speaker 1:Interesting? Yeah, I wonder what's up with that. I wonder if it's VPN.
Speaker 2:It looks like we've hit the Russian Federation as well. Nice I know they've been listening to us ever since that one episode.
Speaker 1:Which one?
Speaker 2:The one where we were bashing on Putin. I've had drones around my house ever since.
Speaker 1:That could have been any episode. We go on such tangents. Was it Encanto? Is that the one where we bashed on Putin? I can't remember.
Speaker 2:I can't remember either. I couldn't remember either, but this final toast, final hit Well, not even final. We got another one coming up, but for now this one goes out to our newest enemies in China, as we dedicate this one to the Tiananmen Square situation.
Speaker 1:And also to Tom Barranmen Square situation and also to Tom.
Speaker 2:Berenger in the substitute, and to Tom Berenger specifically in the substitute, that's the worst toast ever. Cheers. Right now you got China going. You could bring up Tiananmen Square, but don't you dare bash on Tom Fair Of substitute fame.
Speaker 1:We used it as a as propaganda for how American schools are, so that our kids stay in China. It's like it was actually it's totally paid for by China.
Speaker 2:That's all the whole substitute series we might run over someone with a tank, but uh, we don't do this god, so what?
Speaker 1:I can't believe I watched these fucking movies. Did you enjoy them at the time? Oh yeah. Plus, there were titties and stuff.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, no that's a game for a young treat treat williams switched in.
Speaker 1:Tom berenger was only in the first one and then ernie hudson was in it yeah, yeah, yeah poor bastard.
Speaker 2:You know he wasn't thrilled about that, but of course, who would be? Maybe we're getting so much play lately in europe just because we have so many anti-american sentiments on this show well, america should try to be better is all I gotta say.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm saying, and I think that's the greatest part that's, the greatest part about america is that we got so many different people from so many different places and america keeps trying to destroy its strength. Anyway, enough of that. Let me hop on down from this soapbox and let's talk about uh, this movie so nosferatu still in theaters should we do a brief rundown of the plot of the movie?
Speaker 1:yeah, have you ever seen?
Speaker 2:Dracula, or heard of Dracula, because guess what it's Dracula, it's Dracula baby. So we had a wonderful remake of Dracula. So let's talk about this film. So we saw this bad boy in theaters. We had some pretty decent nepotism titties in this one. So how are you guys feeling about this movie? Luke, how are you feeling about this movie? Uh, luke, what? How are you?
Speaker 1:feeling about this. So overall I actually did enjoy the movie. I I felt like it was artistically very pleasing. I enjoyed the cinematography a lot. I felt like it was very enjoyable. A lot of the camera shots, the way they um use practical effects, the way they told a story with the camera and built suspense with the camera and kind of unsettling scenes. That was weird and somehow unsettling. It wasn't scary but I did feel uncomfortable the mustache was super unsettling yeah well and I mentioned that to me.
Speaker 1:I was like why is why? What's to do with this mustache, like what? Like I think I've seen like multiple times, like on multiple videos and stuff about nosferatu. Like they're like why does he look like tom selleck? But like with, I'm like yeah, why, why did they choose that? But so someone on the production team was like he's eastern european. Come on, now listen to the man's voice. He has a mustache. Yeah, it can't be unrealistic.
Speaker 2:Here it's obvious that he has a mustache. Guys, come on, what I think they were doing was that's dracula or vlad the impaler?
Speaker 1:oh, so they were giving him a vlad the impaler mustache, I see yeah, I think that's.
Speaker 1:That was vlad the impaler, I think that's what it was, and he very famously had a mustache, among other things he did mainly yeah I mean that was vlad the mustache and baylor but, yeah, I I definitely uh thought that was an odd choice, but I do think, like the, the acting as well, on the film I and I enjoyed, I felt like the actors did what they were kind of instructed to do or what. I feel like this was a movie that the director, robert Eggers he, he kind of really he had a vision for it Right, and I think that he utilized these actors kind of as like tool. I don't think that they strayed apart from his vision. I really do feel like he, he utilized them in a way, but I do think they did a good job and I actually. But yeah, yeah, overall I really enjoyed the film. It was, um, and in multiple ways I I felt like it was, uh, a very solid movie and a very solid film overall yeah, no, for sure, um all right uh james, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 1:uh. So when I when I walked out of the theater, I had mixed feelings, but I can tell you that in the first half of this movie I was on the edge of my seat and I was absolutely enthralled. For the first half of this movie, I thought they did some really awesome cinematic things at the beginning, with using cinematography as symbolism for the characters. Emotions like this is a. This is a romantic Gothic movie. Right, supposed to. Gothic romance is like this. Feelings pushing their way into reality, right, it's like the. It's like these, it's like a spiritual realm, almost kind of thing. And he did some shots like the cinematography. At the beginning, eggers directed some shots where they had the 360 camera when they're sitting, when they're outside, with this feeling of a whirlwind of emotions. And they gave us one thing I really loved that pushed me over the edge, being like, wow, this is great, great.
Speaker 1:When the carriage rolled up on on thomas nicholas holt, uh, you remember that when the black carriage rolled up on the on the deserted road, when he was right outside orlock's castle, and then the, and then he like has his little, he has, he goes into a trance, comes out, the carriage is waiting, uh, for him, uh, and then he goes to step into the carriage and they did this very cool thing where his silhouette, the shot is from inside the carriage, the dark carriage, and his silhouette is coming toward the camera but then he kind of floats, he kind of floats through the carriage toward the screen and I realized that they had superimposed the two things and it wasn't. You know, you feel like it's like reality, but then you see like it's more of a spiritual expression of the trance he's in and how he's like lifted and lured the cart beyond his ability to even resist. Yes, um, and I loved the shots of him in orlok's castle with, you know, the way the cinematography conveyed the ambition and the reticence. And you know, when the, when we were looking up from the contracts point of view at nicholas holt, I was like fuck, yeah, that's telling a story with with the camera. Uh, you know, when he was having his horror views and the camera would come in on his face and then he'd be in another spot in the castle because he was entranced. You know, I was like, is the camera telling a story? Where this guy is just so he's like blinded by his ambition and under the trance of this wealthy guy.
Speaker 1:And then in the second half it just turned into a stage play. Yes, it turned into a stage play where it was like fixed shot. Well, they did the fixed shots where people were just talking to each other, they just talked back and forth and talked back and forth and then someone on the team was like do you remember when you did that 360 shot, like that was really good, let's do another one of those. And then you get this camera whipping around two people talking, I was like why am I doing this?
Speaker 1:Why is this happening right now? And I felt like they lost the symbolism in the second half for the most part, when it was there. They wanted to make their conversations flash and they forgot that they were telling the story with the camera. At times, I I, I could Flashing they forgot that they were telling the story With the camera. At times I I could definitely see that and I think I agree.
Speaker 2:I will say that this was a vast improvement On the one featuring Keanu Reeves.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's very true.
Speaker 1:Huge improvement, but not an improvement Over Leslie Nielsen's dracula dead and loving it, which I will which sharon and I watched immediately after we got home not by a long shot, not by a long shot sharon and I watched it and we were like, oh my god, this is like it was like exactly this. We're like this. Oh my God, this is like it was like exactly this. We're like this is the same movie. It's like someone just copied that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all, that's all was originally um, yeah, uh, with greiger I.
Speaker 2:I forget the name at the moment but the theft of dracula it was yeah, it was just dracula with different names. But, uh, I thought the acting was really good. I I enjoy it was. It was definitely over the top and it was definitely very dramatic, but I think that was the point. Yeah, and I feel willem dafoe especially. I feel that he thrives in that area.
Speaker 1:I hated Willem Dafoe in this movie Really. I was like man. This is the only movie I've ever hated Willem Dafoe in.
Speaker 2:I've seen the Lighthouse. That's what I was saying. He was like watching him in the Lighthouse. In my opinion, that's how I felt there. I think he did as well house.
Speaker 2:In my opinion. That's how I felt there. I think he did as well. Um, I I did enjoy the first half more than the second half. I think I do have to agree with you there. I think it kind of got wrapped up its own ass at a point. Yeah and um, too many subplots, yeah, and and I feel that Depp's kid sort of they had like a focus on her. I'm sure that there's some politics at play there that they had to kind of work around and I feel that that did take away from it a little bit. But overall, you know, I like the story, I appreciate what they're doing with the story and I'll dive a little more into that once we get under the golden path. And I I recall also so like the witch who Robert Eggers did. That was my introduction to Robert Eggers and you could tell it was made by the same dude. If you watch the witch and you watch the Nosferatu, it's like there's my witch story.
Speaker 1:There's my vampire story. You could tell real ralph ennison fan. He really loves it. He loves bringing ralph ennison around.
Speaker 2:I wish I'm happy for yeah, I'm really happy for, uh, yeah, I like him a lot, he's great and in the witch he had some like fucking like unexpected apps, by the way, if you haven't checked it out, ladies. But anyway, he's just chopping that wood in a towel. Forget about it. So, anyway, and the weird thing for me, I saw the Witch in theaters, fucking hated it, but I've seen it like 20 times.
Speaker 1:Since I'll just like I'll be sitting there and like, oh, throw in the Witch, fuck it, and you know what I could really go for is some shrill woods howling yeah, you know, what I could really go for is some shrill woods howling yeah, let's pop that out of the background.
Speaker 2:For whatever reason. For whatever reason, it just calms me. And on second and third and fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh viewing, I appreciate it a lot more. So I am going to rewatch this one to kind of see how that pans out. But yeah, well, so before we go into the final scoring here, did you guys have any final thoughts and, just you know, initial feelings on this film?
Speaker 1:Luke initial feeling on this film, luke, I also did. I wanted to note that I do. I do agree in the sense that the second half was weaker, but I didn't think it took away from the entire film.
Speaker 1:I felt like it was still telling a good story and it was like I, it was just a film that I did enjoy and, like you said, it's something I'm going to end up watching again, especially I could see, like around halloween or you know, spooky, spooky season, putting it on at some point in the month. It was a movie I just I. I enjoyed it. I did for what it was. Again, it is a dracula movie, but yeah, it was just dracula yeah, well, but to be. There was way more corpse fucking in this than I expected from a Dracula movie.
Speaker 2:There was way more characters that were corpse fuckers. Yeah, there was actual necrophilia in this film, which you know I'm excited to see finally make its debut onto the big screen. You know we've been prudes about it.
Speaker 1:Well, and I do think that this was like a very artistic style film, like and you, you know, you guys said kind of like the play shots, like I felt like they were trying to, almost like they made it like a play like. That's kind of how it felt like they he was going for. That I agree in the second half why?
Speaker 2:why the?
Speaker 1:switch though. Yeah, yeah, why the court, the count? Orok was not like a stage play, it was something totally different. But I do feel like it was like mystical in his castle, because maybe that's like where the mystic mystics happen, right like where, where it is magical, and not like of this, of this universe. And then he got transported to a stage play Instead of everyone else getting transported To Nosferatu's movie. It was an interesting take Boo Boo, I boo you, I will also say An interesting thing about this movie.
Speaker 2:You know Aaron Taylor Johnson. He was the Frederick, he was the. Uh, frederick the, yeah, he was the uh kind of a douchebag husband, but not really not to his wife at least but just a general douchebag he's just very british.
Speaker 1:He's the guy who's a british aristocrat yeah, and he killed it.
Speaker 2:But he uh, interestingly enough, you know, uh where we first saw, like lately he's been kind of being shoved down our throats because they're getting ready for I like him. I like him too. You know where we first saw him, though he's been in a lot of things first. I don't know, he was the street rat in Jackie Chan and Owen Wilson's Shanghai Nights, which scene.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's the urchin who, like he's the kid, oh he's the steals from. Oh my God, no way.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's Charlie Chaplin. Well, I liked him more. I liked him more. Yeah, that was him. I like him even more now. Yeah, he's been doing this for a while. He's kicking ass, yeah, so he's coming back and he, like I know his name, was in the hat for james bond, so who knows, we'll see.
Speaker 1:I liked him in bullet train quite a bit too he was. I loved bullet train. Yeah, I love the train, so we're getting off topic here now we're just in bullet train.
Speaker 2:Actually we're gonna explore aaron taylor. Taylor Johnson's career.
Speaker 1:His entire career.
Speaker 2:We're just going to dive on in. He's got a lot of goods and a lot of bad stuff in here.
Speaker 1:Another day maybe.
Speaker 2:I know he's married into the life and both of his parents are in the industry, so he's kind of like he's been paying his dues from what I see like nepotism style paying his dues, but anyway. So let's get some of my ratings on this. So what did you guys rate the movie walking out of the theater? What would you guys wind up with? James? Did you want to start that off?
Speaker 1:Let's see Ratings. For acting, I would give it a four. I. I actually really did not like willem dafoe in this. I really thought the. I thought that he was in a different movie than the other people. I thought he and the lunatic who was running bare ass through the streets yelling like that shot. I thought that those things took me way out of it. You know, I felt like they.
Speaker 1:I felt like I felt like there was some problem with the cinematography. That also affected the acting. Here. It's like an interplay where the acting was really good but it goes down to a four. The cinematography is. It was really good, I felt, for half of the movie but it faltered in the second half. But I'm also still giving it a four because I really, really loved that scene with the carriage and I also loved the scene where his shadow was coming over the town. I know that's from the. It's like a famous scene from the original and I think they did a very good job with the hand. The score the score in Robert Eggers movies is always minimal and haunting and a stirring when it needs to.
Speaker 2:And.
Speaker 1:I think that the score was excellent. I give it a five. It never took away from anything, uh, and I always felt it added uh, which is pretty amazing. That doesn't happen a lot, uh, for story. I would give it a three maybe, because they had a chance here they had a chance here to change. Actually, you know, I may even give it a two I think I'm going to give it a two.
Speaker 1:They had a chance here to change. Actually, you know, I may even give it a two. I think I'm gonna give it a two. They had a chance here to be something other than dracula. They had a chance to do something better, uh, and then instead they just wrote dracula. They didn't have to do the movie beat by beat. Movies get remade and updated all the time and there's not people who are alive, like I saw nosferatu when it came out, and this is different. You know those people are dead.
Speaker 1:Uh, just make a. Make the best movie a modern day can make.
Speaker 2:You don't have those nosferatu nerds from back in 1917 fucking won't.
Speaker 1:Shut the hell up about it, you don't have to go line by line and get lines from the original movie or whatever unnecessary. I thought the story kind of sucked too. Uh, and then rewatch ability. I'm definitely gonna rewatch this movie. I don't know how many times.
Speaker 1:For me it'll probably be like the witch, where I watch it like two or three times because you couldn't understand what the fuck they were saying yeah, yeah, yeah, and so, uh, and so I'll probably watch this two or three times, but then I'll probably be done with it and I'll probably be like all right, I hope there's a fan cut that just that makes this a more streamlined movie, and maybe they can add a scene where, uh, aaron taylor johnson, when he's fucking his corpse wife, he just goes. It was better in my head, and then that's where he dies just vomits bile and then dies.
Speaker 1:This was better in the drawing room did not match the reality throws up all over his dead wife's bare chest so I'd give it a three because you're gonna re-watch it. You know, yeah, as soon as it's available on streaming, re-watching it is, I think a good, good idea?
Speaker 2:yeah, okay, all right. Um well, uh, luke, since you're tracking the numbers, you mind if I go next? Yeah, go ahead, uh, for me. So I'm going to say acting was a four, but I didn't bring it down because of Willem Dafoe. I brought it down just because, in the back of my brain, I know that there were better women for the role. They just didn't have.
Speaker 1:Depp's last name but if she was, if she did the role well and acted the hell out of it, she deserves the same. Have you heard Jack Quaid talk on this? Jack Quaid?
Speaker 2:could go fuck himself.
Speaker 1:All right. I mean, have you heard what he said?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he could go fuck himself, so could his crazy-ass uncle, and so could his dad. All right, no, they could all go fuck themselves.
Speaker 1:His at his crazy-ass uncle and soak at his dad. All right, no, they could all go fuck themselves. His dad's crazy too, I'm pretty sure yeah.
Speaker 2:So Jack Quaid could pick one and suck it?
Speaker 1:Are you telling Meg Ryan she can go fuck herself? Is that what you're saying?
Speaker 2:I think we did that as a culture, like in 19. 2001-ish.
Speaker 2:I think Meg Ryan, she's just a boomer, but anyway, yeah, so they, I had to, I, she, she knows nothing of struggle or strife. I didn't believe her when she was suffering. And then, um, cinematography I thought was solid, Um, just the beginning, half of the movie, I would give it a 4.5. And I, I think eventually they're, I think eventually the producers and hollywood were like dude, you got to cut the shit. All right, we got to get to the end of this movie. This is not going to be the titanic, you understand. And they came in with like dominoes and started slicing shit off. They, you know, they dc universe did um, and so I'm just giving a 4.5 for cinematography.
Speaker 2:The score fantastic, just like you said, I'm gonna give it a five. The story, I mean, it's dracula. Um, there's a reason. This fucking story has lasted since, uh, 1897. And then they kind of like mixed it with the keanu reeves dracula and then brought it back and I don't know what the plan was at the end. But I'm gonna bring that down to a four just because, like, why you gave the story a four, it's dracula, but then it's dracula with a weird twist ending where he dies on top of her. Oh my God, yeah, I might even bring it to a 3.5.
Speaker 1:No, I mean, whatever you want to do, I'm going to bring it to a 3.5. It just changes my opinion of you as a person.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give it a 3.5 because I am remembering that ending and that's just irritating me.
Speaker 2:The review isn't dracula, the book, it is this movie but they called it and I knew it was gonna be. I knew it was gonna be dracula, um, and then re-watchability I, I'm, I'm yeah, it's gonna come out on streaming, I'm gonna re-watch it, I'm gonna see how I feel about it later on and I'm going to watch it for, honestly, years to come, when because, look, I'll be real with you Vampire movies fucking blow, with the exception of Dracula, dead and loving it.
Speaker 1:And this.
Speaker 2:This might be the best vampire movie.
Speaker 1:This might be the best vampire movie.
Speaker 2:Let right one in.
Speaker 1:I really enjoyed, but I would never re-watch the letter I went in I've re-watched it twice, I think yeah I enjoyed it yeah, it's like that one's, that one's, one you have to sit and pay attention to and then like, and really sit in the silence and the isolation, for, though you can't just have it on in the background, you got to sit down and stare at a screen for an hour and 45 minutes and just feel every bit of what makes you a person kind of bubble up and drift away. It's like fuck, what the fuck?
Speaker 2:Luke, have you ever watched? Let the right one in no, I haven't seen that I highly recommend it. James, do you remember the first time you and I watched that? We watched it together whoa, whoa. Oh my god, what the fuck hey, there was a scene and he knows exactly what I'm talking about in the original. Let the right one in where.
Speaker 2:So? So, luke, to catch you up real fast, let the right one in. It's just about this, uh, young boy who befriends a vampire who is immortal at his age, and it's a girl, child vampire yeah then you learn that maybe it's not a girl, whatever. And at one point there this little perv main character is kind of looking in while she's getting dressed, you know, and they do just a quick fucking flash of her privates. Everyone in the fucking house is like oh shit, Like we're all going to jail. We're all going to jail.
Speaker 1:And then we're like wait a second, rewind that because it turns out there's like scars there.
Speaker 2:It's not like a, it's not like a child's genitals, it's like a scar is in the genital area that they were flashing we were all fucking terrified oh my god, I I hadn't seen that kind of reaction, uh, except from in the 2012 evil dead, when the dude busted his back on the toilet, but anyway, oh yeah, watch it.
Speaker 1:If you haven't, there's some what was your actual score for the rewatch ability? Though? Rewatch, you never said it. I'm gonna give it a four'm going to give it a four.
Speaker 2:I'm going to give it a four.
Speaker 1:I'll watch it again more than Die.
Speaker 2:Hard.
Speaker 1:I don't believe you. I don't think this.
Speaker 2:Some years I'll skip a watching of Die Hard, but I'll probably catch a Nosferatu.
Speaker 1:I think you'll put the Witch on before this. I know it's a vampire movie, but I think you'll put the Witch on before this. I know it's a vampire movie, but I think you'll put the Witch on before this.
Speaker 2:Well, only time will tell. Well, Luke, you want to give us the final cherry on these fucking scores. This has the opportunity to be a high-ranking, high-and-dry movie.
Speaker 1:I'm not going to lie. I gave this very good scores. Now my horror genre is not very deep. I've only just started getting into horror movies, but I I did. I gave this very flying colors, so okay acting.
Speaker 1:I gave it a five. I feel like each person did what they were supposed to do and they conveyed what they were supposed to convey. In the story, a every character brought me in, even Willem Dafoe. He was annoying as fuck. That character was not, but he did what he was supposed to do. He acted his ass off and played that character well.
Speaker 2:That character was not a good character. I think it's fine. I think it's fine. I'm not going to chill with any of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let me know on a rewatch if you think Willem Dafoe was any good.
Speaker 2:Let me know on a rewatch if you think Willem Dafoe was any good.
Speaker 1:For me. I was like Jesus Christ. It wasn't even believable delivery. I felt like he was really tired, Just trying to be crazy to overcompensate how tired he was.
Speaker 2:He just felt like a normal crazy guy back then he didn't feel like he was getting anything Normal, crazy old man. Willem Dafoe was just born in the wrong generation. All right, we'll continue and then, uh, cinematography.
Speaker 1:I also gave a five. I've shit, I didn't feel the second half I did think was worse. It definitely did not. They didn't have as many artistic shots, but I didn't think it brought away from what they did well. Uh, yeah, I feel like when they were doing it well, they were doing it very well. So I gave that a five okay, wow, that's wild I gave the score a four out of five.
Speaker 1:I like I did think that they did what it was supposed to, but it just didn't stand out for me. I didn't like when I got out I I remember I had thoughts and notes on almost every single category besides score. It was just kind of like oh yeah, that was. It was spooky, spooky score spooky music.
Speaker 2:Spooky music, yeah, which is the standard.
Speaker 1:So I just gave it a four. Uh story, I hope james and I can still be friends, but I gave it a four. I felt like it, like I knew it was just gonna be a remake of nosferatu, like that's. I knew what it was like and like. I do agree that you could make a different movie, but you also could just make a new vampire movie at that point.
Speaker 2:It's over a hundred years later.
Speaker 1:Yeah, movies and storytelling have grown in the last and they have. But I just don't have to do a stage play, I just liked the fact that it was like an old movie made well, like it's like. Oh wow, like I.
Speaker 2:I enjoyed that I I, I think that it was updated with the wife's possession. Uh, especially some of the scenes between the wife and husband in that where, like he's like jealousy fucking her. Yeah, that that definitely wasn't in the original I can tell you that for sure yeah, so I think it was updated. I think it was updated. And then uh, fucking, uh, aaron taylor, johnson fucking that corpse that's a thing.
Speaker 1:We barely got to see any of it, though, and so and so they could have gone farther.
Speaker 2:His britches were down. His britches were down.
Speaker 1:They could have gone farther.
Speaker 2:Yeah, well, I just enjoyed it.
Speaker 1:I didn't think that it took away from any of it too much and I thought the story deserved the four Didn't deserve anything higher. For sure, there was just too much that did. They didn't do well, but I think for what they did well, they did very well. And then rewatchability I think it's a four I. I think you could watch this movie during the halloween season. I think that might also be because my depth of horror movies is probably not that great, so that score might be this is no horror.
Speaker 2:My well, my I wouldn't call my depth of horror movies is fucking insane. There's few horror movies I have not seen. I think it lands inside of it, no problem.
Speaker 1:Do you think this is horror?
Speaker 2:I don't think this is horror by definition, of course.
Speaker 1:Well, Jurassic Park's a horror. You gotta give me Jurassic Park.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's a horror. Jurassic Park has always been a horror.
Speaker 1:Yeah, sure, that's fine, but yeah so that's all I care about. So all I care about which was you know which was crazy? Because Nosferatu was not a movie that I thought I was going to um really enjoy, but I sat sat there really having a good time and I I did enjoy the movie overall.
Speaker 2:That's awesome, well, so I I am very excited to hear the math on this one, because this might be the highest ranking high and dry movie ever final score.
Speaker 1:The official high and dry score is a, the highest that we've given so far, a four out of five, holy shit.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's actually tied for tied for four out of 5. Holy shit, yeah, it's actually tied for 4 out of 5.
Speaker 1:Oh, which one did we give a 4 out of 5 as well? I think Die Hard. Oh, die Hard got it. No, I think Die Hard got a 4 out of 5. I'll have to go back to the archives we need to keep a spreadsheet.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we'll have to start inputting this shit. Well, not it. I'll make a web.
Speaker 1:I'll make a web page. I'll make a web page, we'll put it in. Yeah, but this, you know the I do think that, like a boy, I, I remember, I think that's what I pretty much averaged for for my score and I was I felt like it was a fair score, I felt like they I think four to five is fair, and it was. I think it's fair it was a good film. James is sitting there and he's just like this. These motherfuckers gave this too much credit, but I I do it's better than die hard, and so it deserves the four.
Speaker 2:Yeah well, hey, well, well. So, that being said, we there it is. Folks, there's your official fucking thing, robert, congratulations. Man Coming out of left field with a high and dry does not give out fours lightly.
Speaker 1:I don't know if this is what I show all the time. John McTiernan is one of the only directors, one of the greatest directors of all time. Director of the Thomas Crown Affair. Got four out of five.
Speaker 2:We might have to revisit some of the's before we started doing the ranking system yeah, I'm curious to see what we would give some of the movies we did before luke's ranking system.
Speaker 1:But how about we just, how about we just do a we'll do a whole episode, yeah where we just go back through the list and be like hell yeah. What are the scores that these?
Speaker 2:would get Quick fires. Yeah, have all the notes already ready. We'll live stream that bitch.
Speaker 1:Talk about the things that we loved about them and the things that we remember that we didn't like or whatever.
Speaker 2:That'd be a pretty cool episode. I like the idea. I like the idea. Well, I like the idea. That being the case, it's time to get onto the golden path. We've ranked this thing, we've hit the science of it. It's time now to get into the art of it.
Speaker 1:Can I smoke more? Is that okay?
Speaker 2:It's time for our fourth toast, fourth hit, fourth shot. This one goes out to so far what I believe is our highest ranking movie so far to date Cheers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, bill Skarsgård, I believe is our highest ranking movie, so far To date. Cheers Bill Skarsgård, Zombie Dick.
Speaker 2:Cheers. I was mindlessly scrolling and you know that meme of Willem Dafoe looking up into the sky, just fucking awestruck. And it was people seeing nosferatu zombie uh, vampire dick in imax this movie.
Speaker 1:To me he was so much less a vampire than a zombie. To me he was much more like a zombie. To me he was much more like a zombie in his appearance. We didn't even get to see vampire teeth, really. Yeah, I was a little disappointed with that. I couldn't believe that they didn't kind of lean into like Well.
Speaker 2:I'm excited to get into that part. Then it's time to get on the golden path. So for those of you guys at home you know this is where we're going to mouadib, dive on in and really get into the grit and meat of this fucking movie and some of the shit that you fucking dumb asses probably missed.
Speaker 1:Oh my God, Luke, luke, you got to remember. Our audience are pieces of shit. Our audience is trash, fucking trash.
Speaker 2:We love you guys. Please keep listening. We're here to educate you Anyway.
Speaker 1:Yeah, the golden path. You're supposed to become a dictator, Mwah dude, so anyway.
Speaker 2:Mwah dude. Yeah, so as far as the golden path of it, it first up. As far as the vampire movie is concerned, um, you know, look, I I don't know if any of you heard that sound bite that's bounced around our page before, but I fucking love vampires and vampire movies is shit. This one was pretty good. I I might have to change some statements I made about vampire movies because, shit, this one was pretty good. I I might have to change some statements I made about vampire movies because of this fucking movie.
Speaker 1:I don't think it's a vampire movie. I know, I know he's a vampire, but I think it's a bad. I don't think with barely anything that's about vampires is more like in our culture a demon possession movie where she makes a cut, she awakens a demon with her spiritual calls and stuff but she has a psychic connection and they drag right. It was very capable of those things yeah, we don't even see fangs and stuff like they. They talk very little about the drawing of blood. You know, it's I.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's a very weird vampire I feel like they showed a couple scenes of him sucking the blood from like the chest I thought they saw him lapping up blood yeah, well, I thought they were being empty of blood and stuff when they found bodies yeah, I, I thought the sucking uh was pretty cool when he, when they had those very powerful like he's clearly fucking like drinking. Yeah, I thought that was pretty cool. And then, just from a Dracula perspective you know I've read Dracula, I've seen the original Nosferatu that intro scene was quintessential vampire, you know, and that's before they sparkled and shit. Intro scene was quintessential vampire, you know, and that's before they sparkled and shit. I thought it was very strong and I liked the idea that we were adding to the lore of vampires for their monstrousness versus their sexiness. But I wanted the sexiness.
Speaker 2:Because lately the sexiness. Well, in the past, well, she was into it. She loved that fucking mustache. You know that thing was brooming up her vagina all fucking day. But um.
Speaker 1:I love show sprites.
Speaker 2:I, I, I was happy. So now what we can do is we take this demonic aspect that we've added to vampires with this film, mix that with the sexiness and we got a wild fucking vampire right there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I do think that this is going to be seen as a turning point for vampire movies. Even if I don't think this is quintessential, I do think this is a turning point, much like the witch, you know, heavily influenced, like jordan peele and other you know, uh, new horror directors who who use a lot of symbolism and cinematics and score to to cohesively present horror. I feel like this will be, this will be seen as a stepping stone in vampire horror I think so as well.
Speaker 2:Um luke, where are you at with it?
Speaker 1:yeah, I, I agree. I think that, although I hadn't even thought about the teeth thing until james had said it, but I don't think that that took away from it being a vampire to me and I felt like I enjoyed the very just like ancient, like I feel like they were trying to portray someone who is just ancient like truly immortal well, immortal to to a sense, but but like an immortal being that that is thousands of years old and I feel like they did that and I feel like it is going to be, uh, one of those things that vampire movies will become very trendy here very soon. I feel like we're gonna see multiple of these in the coming years, in the next couple years. For sure, I think we're gonna see an explosion of gothic romance, whether that includes vampires or not well.
Speaker 2:So I'm starting to feel a very similar thing and it's giving me a little bit of FOMO, um, you know, because I've written a vampire novel that I've, you know, been struggling to push out there, just based on the ebb and flow of cultural acceptance of vampires. Twilight really drained the fucking cultural, you know. But now they are making this weird comeback and so I had written my first novel and it's about a millennial vampire. He's like a fucking baby. And then I saw this movie and it started giving me ideas about his mom and making her this mixture of fucking evil, dead, demonic, possession and sexy. And I'm like what the fuck can I do with this to keep building on it for myself, as far as the things that I'm trying to do, and I think we might be, because vampires they come and go every 20 years. We have not been able to get rid of them since the fucking 1800s.
Speaker 1:You gotta cut off their head, you gotta drive the stake through the heart and then cut the head off come on, guys, if you want to get rid of them.
Speaker 2:That won't come back every 20 years we, we do this ebb and flow between horror and sexy, horror and sexy, horror and sexy, and I, I think this might be a new, a new thing for sure. I agree with you guys, for sure, on that one. Well, and I think I think.
Speaker 1:Oh sorry, like Jay, I just want to say this quick with, like you said, james, the, the Gothic romanticism, specifically because I also see it in, like the books that women are reading, like I've seen my fiance and lots of her friends reading these, like fantasy, kind of dark, but they're also very intimate and sexy. Uh books and I feel like you know, with with this movie, it'll be a point for people to be like, oh, you guys like that, I can turn that into a movie and these books will also begin turning into films.
Speaker 2:Yeah no, it's telling me I need to get my ass to work all right, yeah you guys enjoy the rest of this show.
Speaker 1:I gotta run, I gotta I gotta get in on this action one thing I'm really looking forward to and I'm really glad that's happening is movies like this are moving away from like the way things like um, twilight or 50 shades of gray or um, or, when it comes to action, jason bourne, like all these cinematic things that are used for those that are like kind of you're almost like bored of the way the camera moves and it's like it's like this is such a rote progression for for action and for drama.
Speaker 1:Something the thing I'm really looking forward to is, with this gothic horror, specifically, the symbolism and the cinematography of how, how you know, the characters, emotions, influence the cinematography. Like that's a, that's a very like, I would say like gen z, you know, like a zoomer or something you know. Uh, the way that they approach media is is its vibes and they they like the vibes that that they get and they may not be able to put into words how cinematography is affecting that, but it really looks like it's up and coming, it really looks like this and it's it seems like a really fun thing.
Speaker 1:I feel like poor things did a similar thing to this movie and has cinematography. And um, and it is becoming more common. And um, and it is becoming more common and I feel like this was the first time they used it for horror specific, yeah, so yeah, I agree that it's very interesting seeing that style of no, and the more we talk about it, the happier I am.
Speaker 2:The happier I am that we gave it the four because, like I mean, it seems like we're all in agreement here this is gonna make some changes. This is gonna.
Speaker 1:I think in a year I'm gonna. Yeah, that movie was a really good stepping stone for better things and I don't think I'm going to look. I don't think in a year I'm going to feel even as good about this movie.
Speaker 2:Well, look in 2050, when the three of us are doing this, we'll have to alter the rating scale based on how the culture flows. You know, that's just how it is. You know when we're.
Speaker 1:Jurassic park is going to be a five, and it will always be a five. Steven Spielberg, fucking killed it John. Williams score. I'm going to flip this fucking desk.
Speaker 2:And look and look when, when, when Siskel and Ebert have been replaced by Ryan James and Luke, we'll, Luke, we'll be discussing that until our fucking grave. I will burn down this studio if Jurassic Park does not get a 5, and you'll be able to do that because it's 2050 and your hand flicks back into a thrower.
Speaker 1:You cyberpunk bitch why did dr grant not simply to simply launch a rocket out of his torso at the t-rex?
Speaker 2:I don't understand. And then you'll be arguing about score and nuance. Yeah, the world's going to a weird place and we'll be competing with our AI competitors. It's going to be wild. The next 30 years of High and Dry. Buckle up, guys, You're in for a ride.
Speaker 1:It would be interesting to give some of the movies a score a year later. See like, how did it age.
Speaker 2:Yeah for sure, but no, I agree. I think this movie is going to change some things. It's definitely me as a vampire enthusiast. It's gotten me thinking about a few things, so I am excited. I am excited. I will rewatch this. I'm making some changes to my own sort of stuff. But final thoughts before we dive into the third part of this.
Speaker 1:As a necrophilia enthusiast, I'm disappointed by the lack of exploration.
Speaker 2:We didn't see the insertion. Yeah, it was just assumed and I feel that.
Speaker 1:yeah, we did that in the 60s and 70s I I just want to say he really felt like that pussy was going to be so good that it was worth dying for he.
Speaker 2:He said oh yeah, he's like I'm not pulling out and going into the shadows.
Speaker 1:Fuck, no, I'm finished, dude have you ever had grief pussy dude it's it. It's wild.
Speaker 2:I do think, I do think. I do think this movie's going to hurt Aaron Taylor Johnson, though, because he was standing very close to a lot of actors and I don't know what the deal is because he's supposedly 5'11", but I think we all know now that he is not six foot, did he?
Speaker 1:look short, I can't remember.
Speaker 2:I thought he looked short.
Speaker 1:Really, I wasn't even paying attention If he's 5'11".
Speaker 2:This is going to hurt him.
Speaker 1:Oh, interesting. Yeah, I need to look back at that, but I I do remember like I felt like he was really short, ralph ralph innocent, though is tall, he's a tall man, that's. Yeah, he's like six foot five or some shit, but even next to his he was standing next to frederick a lot that's true, that's true.
Speaker 2:Yeah, no, ralph, innocent six three. So okay, maybe that's it.
Speaker 1:Maybe we're just comparing him he's only six, three on tinder.
Speaker 2:He's six four um, but yeah, I feel like I don't know. We'll see how it goes. I'm excited to see what happens with aaron taylor johnson. He might be the next bond. He might just fizzle out, who knows, who knows. But uh, well, with that being said, it's time to get into the third part of this thing. It's time to insert ourselves into nosferatu, and I know high and dry fans have been clamoring for this since the beginning. Put your guys into some classic literature, and here we are welcome. So, uh, I'm gonna have another one for this. It's. It's my last saturday before my holiday vacation ends. I'm gonna hit up one more time.
Speaker 1:Um what if I did delete it? Oh, that was an invitation. I understand. Now, all right, I'm gonna dive on in cheers. I was daydreaming'm going to dive on in Cheers. I was daydreaming, cheers.
Speaker 2:Mr Ralph Ennis and being.
Speaker 1:Just daydreaming of being in Nosferatu.
Speaker 2:Hell yeah, hell yeah, dude.
Speaker 1:Hell yeah, dude.
Speaker 2:Dude. Imagine we are the Siskel and Ebert. If Siskel was like hell yeah, dude, that's what we're bringing to the table With, surprisingly, in my opinion, deep thoughts, but anyway, not what you'd expect. I feel Not what you'd expect.
Speaker 1:Yeah, when you heard people were going to get drunk and talk about movies, you probably didn't think.
Speaker 2:That we'd have a decent thought about them too, but anyway, yeah, yeah. All right, so all right, let's kick this bad boy off. So we have inserted you guys into Nosferatu. What changes?
Speaker 1:James, did you want to kick this off, or luke did?
Speaker 2:you have a thought, I have a thought, I can I can go first.
Speaker 1:Oh, thank god.
Speaker 1:Um, so I would like to say that if I was in this movie, I would be the main character, not the main one, not a, not lily, not ellen hutter, but at thomas hutter, I'd be thomas hutter and, honestly, when my boss was trying to get me to go to some fucking creepy castle something we never I would literally tell him to go fuck himself and quit, and then I wouldn't, we'd never get involved with counterlock and me and my wife would just live happily ever after. Uh, because I have no clue, like I always love in movies, watching characters, just do these. I wouldn't think like that, I wouldn't do that or whatever the case is, I would have better instincts to be like this feels way too fucking weird and I get it. It was his job, whatever, but it's very interesting to me that it feels like he has no instincts to be like this is fucking weird.
Speaker 1:He did once he was there, but it was well before you were there that that was weird. You're going outside the norm to go to someone's house way far away to sign paperwork for someone he's already moving to. That doesn't fucking make any sense.
Speaker 2:Why would?
Speaker 1:he not just sign it when he gets here? So yeah, I would probably end up making this movie very short. I would make it fucking. I'd be like yeah, no, sir. And then it would just be like a very sweet romantic movie. No horror at all of me and Johnny and Lily Rose Depp just being in love in this world.
Speaker 2:Sexy Sexy.
Speaker 1:It just becomes a romance movie or a rom-com, if you will what's that new one with blake lively? Oh, it ends with us.
Speaker 2:It ends, it just turns into.
Speaker 1:It ends with us, but there's a vampire somewhere out there viciously masturbating to the pictures of my wife Also, still a surprising amount of corpse fucking.
Speaker 2:Surprising.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that would be my version of Nosferatu, if I was in the film.
Speaker 2:Wow, alright, alright, nice, nice Still a 4 out out of five. Just so you guys know all right, james, what changes when you show up?
Speaker 1:who would I be? I would, I would insert myself into Willem Dafoe's character because, listen, you know I had some problems with it. So I'd insert myself into that character and the first thing I'd do is take a whole bunch of coca leaves and I'd burn them up and I'd get super fucked up on coca leaves, which were readily available at the time. We just watch him fucking trip and then and then the movie would be exactly the same. It would be exactly the same. It's just all the I'd say all the same lines and exactly the same affectation, and I'd be incredibly high on cocaine, and it would you. It would be like I just watched the same affectation and I'd be incredibly high on cocaine. It would be like I just watched the same movie twice. That's all. That's all.
Speaker 2:Incredible revolutionary Will Neff always fucking smacked out of his mind.
Speaker 1:I think he was. I think that's the only way that this movie happened, except this time his heart exploded.
Speaker 2:Yeah, for me, I would insert myself as Dracula, obviously.
Speaker 1:You're a walking corpse With your old, rotted balls.
Speaker 2:Except I would show up at Lily Rose Depp's place and you'd hear like the nepo baby and I would just move on and but no, then I would introduce penicillin to this place because, you know, I have the understanding of the fungus that we need to grow and, hey, the plague wasn't caused by rats, guys, rats are actually super intelligent and it's actually the fleas on the rats that causes the plague that you're referring to. And as long as we get you a penicillin shot within 24 hours, you're gonna be totally fine. Yeah, I would just be. Uh, I don't even fucking know, like, and I think that's one of the reasons why, like, the story is so hard to fuck with as far as our ratings go.
Speaker 2:Um, and one of the things that we didn't kind of go into is because what this was touching on, what the original dracula was touching on, was reverse colonization. That's why it was so kind of freaky to these 19th century English people reading it, because this was now, instead of the English going out and colonizing, this was the reverse, where one of their old stories came to us and was like I'm taking over, now I'll have Carfax Abbeyby your hottest women and, uh, there's nothing you could do about it cheers, um, and that was like one of the original horror points of this thing. So I, I wouldn't be trying to colonize anybody. I would just be a vampire out living his fucking life and I'd shave that fucking mustache. You know what you're reminding me of that.
Speaker 1:That I find really interesting about this movie is that at the end of the movie I kind of had to do a double take at the end, when, uh, lily rose depp is lying dead under the under this corpse that represents the shame of her sexuality, yeah, and all the guys in the room are like she sacrificed herself so that we could all be saved. And then the sun rose. It was like a new dawn and all these guys were like thank goodness, life just went on with their lives. They were like okay alright.
Speaker 2:Well, that's done, I gotta find another wife.
Speaker 1:Fuck, god damn it. Listen, my first marriage was real doozy, I don't.
Speaker 2:I wanna warn you tell me you don't have any inclinations you have no exes that are interested right no one that could potentially come to.
Speaker 1:I need to know right now. I like laughed. I laughed at the end of the movie because that was like my first thought, skinny little legs, people. People looked at me in the theater because I was laughing.
Speaker 2:I was laughing so hard and that's what he was going for that that is definitely what they were going for a big whole laugh. Genius, genius. Not dracula dead and loving it, but the close, mel brooks should probably pay attention I gotta tell you that movie real, really dragged.
Speaker 1:It was no young frankenstein or or definitely not a robin hood men in tights. I watched it. I watched it again. I was really. There were some good points, it had some good jokes, but, man, it was just like a very accurate retelling of dracula.
Speaker 2:Most of the time is what that movie was yeah, no, and then yeah, just to, just to wrap it up. If I was there, the title would change. There would be a scene where I'm shaving that fucking mustache, getting back out there someone, someone who's worth our lock that would be it. It would be a super positive, healthy or lock who shaves that shit off. So yeah, I loved once before that one girl in the cemetery. I can inject myself mentally, but I'm not doing it anymore. That's not who I am anymore.
Speaker 1:I'm better than that.
Speaker 2:I'm better than that. Now it's time for Orlok to be Orlok and find someone who loves Orlok for Orlok. I'm talking to this real estate agent. I'm not going to kill him Because I might not like where I end up. I might need to sell.
Speaker 1:Burning bridges is something past. Orlok would do Not me now Past.
Speaker 2:Orlok would kill this guy Not me, not who I am, not. After she was into me and swore herself to me eternally in our dreams and then just forgot about it.
