Walken doesn't retire. Just when you think he's faded to obscurity- BAM! There he returns. He's legendary.

Langella is usually pretty good. Except for 'Dracula'. Man, what a stinker.

In his more-than-distinguished career, Frank Langella has become Richard Nixon, Clark Kent's editor Perry White and a count named Dracula.

No love for Skeletor?

Yet another Fark employee traded sexual favors to access the Walken tag. I don't know why regular Farkers don't have that option.

It is just a case of them removing the option from the submit form generation, rather validating/filtering it from submitted form data on the server side. All you have to do is edit the form live and insert <option value="Walken">Walken</option> into the select. They probably can't completely remove it as it is referenced everywhere.

Wasn't Langella the bad guy in the movie with the skinny (French?) woman that played a vampire? Anyone? Anyone remember this?

Innocent Blood (1992). That was Robert Loggia. Fun flick, if we're thinking of the same thing.

Ewwwwwwwwww thats farking nasty, why does anyone find her attractive enough to date? Its not even young guys who are trying to act, its established and well known actors that are relatively normal looking. You know your fugly when Oprah was the eye candy in The color Purple.

Also, this movie seems to suit Langella better, hes more of the grandfather type while Walken is the scary uncle you never want to be left alone with for fear he would kill you.

Love that film (LGTNW): Vampires. The Mafia. Frank Oz. Don Rickles as an attorney. Anthony LaPaglia naked. Elaine Kagan in a fur coat screaming He ate my Manny!

So much win.

I have been hanging onto this file forever, hoping to get a chance to use it. *tear* It's such a happy moment for me.
