Ok, ok, ok -- I need a break from "24" this afternoon. I have been binging so bad! So, as the afternoon possibility of a 420 session rolled around, I decided to pull out the Collector's Edition DVD of Bram Stoker's Dracula, directed by Francis Ford Coppola. In my mind, this is the definitive telling of the Dracula tale next to Murnau's "Nosferatu" -- which bears only a close resemblance in plot, but really gets the vibe -- but I gotta say, this movie is worth every penny just to see Monica Belluci's debut performance. Thank the Lord above for the bountiful breasts of Monica Belluci! I'd completely forgotten about her memorable presence in this flick. And Anthony Hopkins is bat-shit crazy as Van Helsing -- I loved his near-lunatic rantings to go along with Tom Waits' actually-possessed ravings. Check it out if you get the chance -- maybe a little sappy with the injection of the love story, but still visually impressive with a very authentic feel. And be sure to load up your favorite smoking apparatus -- preferably something in red!

420 #32 (PM) Vampires and Herb = Badly Needed Break from "24"
