Renfield (2023)

Just seen the trailer. Looks so dreadful it could actually be entertaining..?

Holy cow, he was right after all!

I remember Peter MacNicol playing Renfield in Mel Brooks' Dracula Dead and Loving It (1995).
I remember it because MacNicol had some of the funniest scenes (and while the movie overall was funny, it never compared to Young Frankenstein).

Yes I am here for it.

I am going to see Renfield. My hopes are high. Could this be the one?

Yeah, this doesn't look good. As much as I like Cage and think the premise of him playing Dracula would give him a good chance to really wild out, it sucks that it looks like the whole movie is not only going to treat him as a walking meme but play the whole thing as this ironically-detached action-comedy where neither the action or comedy seems any good. I thought enough people liked Pig that it would serve as a wake-up call to take Cage seriously again, but whoever made this doesn't seem to think so.

Right on time for this Renfield theater release I am seeing Mr. Cage's add-ons appear on magazine covers and in other corporate packaging word games. Reminds me of back in the 90s every blockbuster movie had 3 imitating parodies that nobody went to see. Now any words on the poster of this movie will be mirrored, rhymed and repeated in other unrelated media. Much like when Terminator 2 was a huge new thing all these exterminator adverts started showing up in the newspapers.

Nicholas Cage has add-ons LOL. I am going to see this movie.
