I think I'm the only person in the world who thought Dracula really wasn't all that bad. It had problems, but could be easily be remidied by a month off for re-writes.
Was Brooklyn a flop? I really liked it, but it didn't do so well.

No, Radio.
I think I am one of the biggest Dracula fans. And proud of it!
But alas, I don't consider it a flop....

Javert: Zsah-vair, it's pronounced Zsah-vair.
Pecry: But it's spelled J-A-V-E-R-T Javvurt.
