Day 28Reflections on: Dracula 3000 (2004)Coolio smokes a bong in a room covered in bubble wrap.This was incredibly poorly made. All the shots are framed badly, the audio was mixed too low, the letterboxing was CROOKED!Coolio’s character, 187, says some great lines like “Just because you don’t treasure a mind-bending substance the way I do doesn’t give you the right to make fun of my lifestyle. Save your rhetoric, OK?”Although this is set in the year 3000 it doesn’t seem like fashion or technology has advanced much past the year 2004. There are lava lamps and a pool table on a spaceship yet nobody talks about how anything is vintage. Everyone wears bluetooth headsets and the costumes seem like they’re from Le Chateau (RIP). One adult female character wears pigtails.The name of the spaceship that the crew is on is Mother 3 - which is also a good video game. Dracula himself Udo Kier is in this but he obviously shot all his scenes in one day… he possibly even did a self-tape? Weirdly he doesn’t play Dracula in this for some reason.The character of Dracula is BARELY in this at all despite the fact that the movie is called Dracula 3000. Casper Van Dien is the lead actor which lead me down a rabbit hole of looking at his recent roles. He seems to have worked consistently despite the fact that I previously hadn’t seen him or heard his name mentioned since the 90′s. He acted in 9 movies that were released in 2020 alone! This alerted me to the fact that there appears to be an entire industry of Christian movies that look terrible and apparently didn’t shut down production during a global pandemic. Cool cool cool. Coolio’s performance is the only thing that made this movie worth watching. -- source link
