For the opening fourth of Nosferatu I was hooked. Thomas's travel to Count Orlok's castle and his subsequent torture in it were captivating. Providing the religious fervor, mysticism, and psychological degradation Robert Eggers is known for with Bill Skarsgård playing a suitably decayed and nasty Orlok. From there the movie only gets worse as it dedicated significant time to Ellen who in this version has a demonic, sexual bond with the count long predating Thomas's dealings with him. Any sexual subtext to the original film and novel are turned into constant numbing over text. The first time Orlok feeds on someone in a sexual way its creepy by the 4th, 5th, 10th.... it becomes tiring and cliche. Same goes for Ellen who spends a considerable bit of the run time going through the same sleep walking motions of humping the air and crying out in ecstasy for Orlok over and over again. It gets even worse when the whole thing becomes a shit version of the Exorcist with Ellen contorting her body in crazy ways and talking in tongues. These generic horror tropes continue with Thomas's return where the film becomes a boring, drawn out series of long tracking shots which end on a cheap jump scare. What should be scary becomes monotonous as it constantly replays the same scenes and tropes over and over again. Worst of all it does practically nothing with all this repetition. It shoves the sexual elements in your face without expansion beyond whats implied in the originals, and then it also has a totally separate thread of Orlok representing modernism which could be tied to the female sexuality angle but the film never does it.
Its a shame the movie turned out this bad, because when it works it really works. Thoma's travel through eastern Europe, Count Orlok on the ship, and the rotting plague city are all slim and spooky, serving as pretty good stand alone horror films. I think a slimmer, less dialog focused film just about Thomas traveling to and from the castle would have been way better. The strict faithfulness to the original's plot structure with the insistence on following modern horror pacing and tropes leads to a movie which just is just exhausting to finish with how much it beats the same drum over and over again. At a whopping 2 hours and 10 minutes I would frankly recommend watching the original with its slimmer 90 minute run time, which is basically all the best parts of this movie without all the tedious bloat.
Final score: 5/10
!kino its over

Elon Musk's ex-partner, the Canadian singer Grimes, called for a stop to the racist posts targeting Indians. She revealed that her stepfather is Indian.
Elon Musk's ex-partner, the Canadian singer Grimes, has revealed that she grew up in a half-Indian household. The revelation came in the context of the sudden anti-India sentiment that overwhelmed American social media in the days following Sriram Krishnan's appointment to the Donald Trump administration.
Grimes was among the prominent voices that called for a stop to the racist and bigoted posts targeting Indians. The singer, whose real name is Claire Boucher, took to X yesterday to reveal that her stepfather is Indian and that she grew up in a half-Indian household.
Grimes on "anti-India energy"
"Suddenly concocting anti Indian energy out of nowhere is embarrassing y'all. Also, they were clear they planned to do this," Grimes posted on X.
She opened up about her childhood, writing: "My step dad's Indian, I had a fire childhood in a half Indian household. Indian culture jives very well with western culture."
Grimes was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada. After her parents divorced, her mother remarried Ravi Sidhoo, the director of East India Carpets in Vancouver.
Grimes not only called for an end to racism against Indians but also defended her stance in the comments section.
Asked if "India would be okay with being flooded with American culture, so much that it changes their culture significantly," she replied: "We already did this to them. It has caused a ton of problems for them."
She clarified that she meant India had been flooded with American gadgets, not companies. If the country had actually been flooded with American companies, it would have benefitted through greater job opportunities, she indicated.
Job creation and outsourcing is at the centre of the controversy, with millions of Americans claiming that Indian workers are taking away employment opportunities from Americans. The row has also put the spotlight on the issue of green cards and H1B visas, through which highly skilled workers can live and work in the United States.

Background: the MS Estonia was used by Western !glowies to smuggle advanced military technology out of the collapsing Soviet Union. It mysteriously sank in September 1994, killing 852 of the 989 passengers onboard, the largest European maritime disaster since World War II. The site of the shipwreck is classified as a graveyard and it is illegal to go near it. In 2020, some Swedish filmmakers using a submarine drone discovered a 4-meter wide hole in the hull which was likely caused by an explosion. They were then prosecuted by the Swedish government for violating the sanctity of the wreck.
This Russian disinformation site claims it was sunk by a NATO submarine
The smuggling operation had to be aborted because they feared customs were waiting for them in Sweden. The smugglers tried to open the bow to drive the trucks out, but failed. A decision was made to instead sink MS Estonia with torpedoes. Noise transmitters were put out to hinder recording of what happened, but the Swedish navy recorded everything on their underwater microphones. The submarine in question would be from a NATO-country.

I noticed there wasn't a place for tall people to congregate and get pinged, so I made !tallcels.
Since the worldwide average height is 5'7", anyone 5'7" and up can join.
It's a safe space to discuss the struggles of hitting your head on doorframes, getting asked to grab things from the top shelf, and pretending you're fine in airplane seats.
Everyone else can keep enjoying the legroom we'll never have.
