<p>No, it was more convoluted than that, no Dracula. Marvel seems to be leaning more on the comic origins these days, so the reboot might revisit that.</p>

<p>In that original Tomb of Dracula comicbook, the title role was "played" by Jack Palance.</p>

<p>Gene Colan would go into cinemas to watch movies with Jack Palance starring and take snapshots right off the movie screen for photo reference.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A year-or-so after that comic began, Palance was actually cast in the same role playing Dracula...</p>
<p> </p>
<p>
<p> </p>
<p>In Tomb of Dracula, Draucula would travel through time, back to the age of, say, pirates, then to the present. The Blade series ran for quite a few issues. He was a sort of cliche jive-yalkin' funky early-1970s black street hipster wearing big shades, and did kinda resemble Wesley Snipes. I have no idea how the character was developed when he got his own line of comic books.</p> -

<p>The Martian: I thought this was great. Of space movies starring <strong>Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain</strong> I thought this one was better than Interstellar. Kind of like Castaway on Mars with Damon playing Hanks and a webcam playing Wilson.</p>

<p>Have they been in other space movies together?</p> -
<p>oh ok, I dont even recall her being in it, assume she is the grown up daughter?...and only just remembered Damon was in it!! </p>
-
<p>yeah she was, and I thought she looked good in Jurassic World</p>

<p>That chick looked good but that wasn't her it was Ron Howards [Richie Cunningham] daughter, <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce_Dallas_Howard'>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryce_Dallas_Howard</a></p>

<p>She's been in everything in the past few years (along with Oscar Issac from A Most Violent Year), she doesn't do much for me but I thought she was good in Interstellar and Zero Dark Thirty.</p> -

I see there was talk of Cliff Curtis maybe getting an oscar nomination for Dark Horse, he's been good in FTWD too. Good to see him go Jake the muss on someone else for a change in the last episode.</p></blockquote>

mOst Violent Year was alright...Dark Horse was very good. -

Road Warrior! That's where I'd seen 'Bennett' before. -

<br>
If I have one criticism of Commando it's the fact that I thought Cook was so much more menacing than Bennett who, let's be honest, looked like an extra out of the gay bar scene in Police Academy with the chain mesh singlet and oh so homosexual moustache. Also saying he wanted to 'stick it in Matrix' when he may, or may not, have been referring to his knife was full of innuendo. -

You know I'm right TR, and I know every ferner is basically nothing but a keyboard warrior at best.
