“My life is made up of ‘I’m sorry’. I feel like I have to apologize to people, to things, to life itself. It’s like, ‘I’m sorry to be here’. I don’t want to disturb anyone.”

Tonight's movie at Secret Cinema was "The Fearless Vampire Killers." Yes, that is the Sharon Tate.

Bravo also to Robert Eggers for probably the least bad depiction of Transylvania in Western vampire cinematic history:

1. Having actual Romanian actors doing the dialogue in Romanian. You'd think this is a low bar to clear but nope.

2. High quality costume design that looks pretty accurate to 19th century Romanian and Roma peasantry, even down to specific braided hairstyles from the Transylvanian region.

3. Depiction of Roma people but refrains from having them as some typical Hollywood exoticizing role like a magical fortune teller etc. They're in like half a scene, just chilling and playing music in front of an inn.

4. Use of the word "strigoi" which are actual spirits in Romanian folklore, unlike the term "vampire" which didn't exist in Romania.

5. Sorry to the Nosferatu moustache haters, but a Romanian nobleman would have had that exact facial hair.

6. Depiction of religion (nuns, churches) that actually looks like Eastern Orthodoxy and not some vaguely spooky goth Christianity.

Now, that girl's Mother, on the other hand, said:

"You have a very Weird store. Very, very Weird. Disturbing."

I only replied,

"Thank you, My Boss does love her store."

5 year old girl just now:

"Ummmm I have a question. Did you grow your beard yourself, or is it fake?"

"Oh, I grew it myself."

"That's really cool, I love it."

"Awwwww, thank you, I appreciate that!"

Please tell me someone gets this
