BTW- What did you think of the commentary on Dracula '31? [/B]

Oh, hella interesting.
It's like listening to a history book on Dracula as you watch it. You get a short history on all the actors, Tod Browning, etc, and there's some crazy insightful stuff in there (listen for the bit about the cardboard against the lamp)
The most interesting thing to learn through it is how little control Browning had on the film. Dracula is kind of a compilation of all the actors/workers ideas. It's kind of crazy.
The historian who did the commentary got a little dry at times, but that's my only complaint.
If you haven't listened to it, although I'm sure you have, I highly recommend it.
