| And I have to agree with this agreement agreeing with the disagreement, although I will disagree with the not being a fan of Brand. I've seen him live, and he is at times a very very good comedian, with a very original stage persona, and an extraordinary flair with language. And he's been absolutely, in my opinion, made an example of in the wake of recent 'Manuel-gate' so-caled scandal. The way the tabloid media latched onto the story and attempted to make hate figures out of he and Jonathan Ross was despicable. I loved the movie, and immediately thought of Tanz when he said he was writing a Vampire musical. > Agreed with the disagreement. The movie was pretty funny > (though I dislike Russel Brand, period.)
