NICHOLAS HOULT 81st Venice International Film Festival

My blood pressure is spiking just thinking about all of the things on Dracula’s to-do list.

See Renfield, only in theaters April 14th.

Nicholas Hoult plays this type of pathetic so well

The best thing about The Menu is knowing that in the screenplay, the scene where Margot discovers the truth about Tyler, she originally just fucking sat there silently and looked angry. Anya Taylor-Joy read the script, went to the director, and said, “No, sir. No woman would sit there silently and cry. I’m going to go fucking feral. Tell Nicholas Hoult to protect his fucking face.”

Also, kudos to Nicholas Hoult for being told “Anya is going to fly at you over the table and smack the shit out of you, hope that’s cool” and saying, “Go for it.”

Team pathetic wet cats

While I’m still thinking about Renfield, I love how the movie never attempts to make him into a *~cool macho badass~*

Like yes, he spends a good chunk of the movie doing badass fight scenes and karate-chopping bad guys, but even then he still feels like the timid dork he is the rest of the time.

The way he awkwardly smiles and waves at Rebecca while slamming that guy to the ground at the apartment complex? Poetic cinema. The way his fight scenes (while entertaining to watch) only happen because of his abusive servitude to Dracula? Meanwhile, him taking on brighter colors and more "feminine" hobbies like baking and home decorating is not framed as emasculating and instead a sign that he's becoming a happier, healthier person? *chef's kiss*

I’m tired of male characters being one-dimensional power fantasies. We need more leading men who are pathetic wet cats in human form even when they’re kicking ass.
