The allure emanating from Count Orlok in Nosferatu goes more than decaying skin deep. And this was by design by director Robert Eggers, who discussed his choices to stray away from both the Max Schreck classic Nosferatu look and modern sexy vampires. The most appreciated contemporary vampire, Edward Cullen from Twilight, is not scary at all, Eggers told Gold Derby. So I wanted to go back to the folklore because the early Balkan and Slavic vampire lore is written by or about people who believed that vampires existed and were terrified of them. So clearly, there must be something scary there. And these early folk vampires looked like rotten corpsesmore like how we think of zombies in current cinema. So that was exciting theory. The last person who played a hot rotten corpse, ironically enough, also plays the other love interest of Nosferatus Ellen Hutterremember Nicholas Hoult in Warm Bodies? Here, hes just Thomas Hutter: regular man cuckolded by the power of centuries-old rotting rizz. Focus Features What can we say? That mustache Bill Skarsgrd really does it for us defenders of the Transylvanian Tom Selleck, who completely transformed past our expectations of what a vampire should look and sound like. In that same interview, Eggers continued, The facial hair, not everybodys a fan of. But it is, in my opinion, essential if you look at pictures of Transylvanian noblemen, if you can find one without a mustache or a beard, let me know. I suppose he could have had a beard, just as likely. But, you know, Dracula in the novel has a mustache. Vlad the Impaler had a mustache. Its a very common Eastern European facial hair style. So it felt to me that it helped him fit into that world and be a part of it more than anything. Its the historical accuracy, truly.The movie is total gothic horror edging to its inevitable succumbing to one overly dramatic dead Transylvanian noblemanwho has a penchant to make life hell for everyone around the object of his affection if he doesnt get his way. Skarsgrd shared with Esquire that the performance took its toll and that it was like conjuring pure evil. It took a while for me to shake off the demon that had been conjured inside of me. Thank the horror gods, Bill was a freak and did the work to make himself one of the best character actors on screen, proving vampires can still be sickeningly seductive without the glittery chest or luscious golden locks of his brother Alexander, who played vampire Eric in True Blood. Its playing with a sexual fetish about the power of the monster and what that appeal has to you, Bill Skarsgrd said of his take on Orlok. Hopefully youll get a little bit attracted by it and disgusted by your attraction at the same time. And on Anne Rice, I swear he and Eggers did it. Gross, swamp rat-feasting Lestat (both of them) looks like a cute chibi character in comparison to Skarsgrd. He even sounds hypnotically powerful. Seriously, the sorcery? Bill outdoes Ralph Inesons tenor intonations in a movie Ralph Ineson is in with a deep operatic voice that rattles the loins. How else can you explain the somatic trances Lily-Rose Depp performed as Ellen?Orlok is an appetite indeed. Its okay, if you squint hard enough Skarsgrds eyes permeate through the disheveled side-swoop on his infectious scabbing face. We get why Ellen bounced to death on it, the gorgeously grotesque mutually assured destruction of beauty and the beast. A tale as old as time indeed. Want more io9 news?

So, you were a childless adult who got Bluey-pilled.Yes, somehow the endearing import series from Australias Ludo Studio about a family of Heeler dogs going on whimsical feel-good adventures has provided hours of some of televisions best made entertainment in this era of constant streaming releases. Its so good, its rightfully become global obsession. So many (including myself) might have even been given very aspirational views on parenthood or caught wind of a slight Aussie accent on child in your life. Because Bluey has become such a household name at this point, thanks in part to its BBC and Disney distribution, everyone is wondering where Bluey is going after three stellar seasons. Currently, things with season 4 feel very up in the airtheres been no official update for more of the show itself, but instead the announcement we received at the end of 2024 that there will be a Bluey movie coming in 2027, with series creator Joe Brumm departing the world of the Heeler family after its release. Where does that leave Bluey in 2025? Heres whats going on this year so far, as we await a new season announcement or surprise drop like last years 28 minute episode The Sign. At least theres Bluey Legos on the way too. Blueys World Brisbane Ludo Studio Blueys official mini-theme park is now open in Brisbane Australia. The immersive world of Bluey comes to life with set recreations of the house and various landmarks in the show, including the Hammerbarn Hardware store. Were dying to get one of the garden dog-gnomes! To visit youll have to book a trip down underfor more information visit Blueys World Brisbane here.Meet Bluey at Disney Experiences Disney Experiences Bluey and Bingo are taking trips to various Disney experiences around the world. Youll be able to meet the Heeler girls at the Disneyland Resort in California and Walt Disney World in Florida starting this year. Our money is that theyll pop up in some sort of Australian activation at Worlds showcase at Epcot in Walt Disney World. As for Disneyland? It would make the most sense to maybe have a Bluey takeover at the former Muppets 3D theater at California Adventure, with a meet and greet near the exit to stagger the demand.Heres what Josh DAmaro, Chairman of Disney Experiences said in the release about the news:Bluey has become a household name for families around the world and we are thrilled to bring her story to life in new ways. We cant wait to watch our youngest guests and their families make memories with Bluey in our parks and on our cruises. But before they make landfall, at first the girls will set sail on special Disney Cruises starting January 2025, on select trips originating from Australia and New Zealand. On the special voyages, fans will be able to participate in interactive and clue-filled game that ends in a dance party as they sleuth around the ships with Bluey and Bingo. For more information about these bookings visit Disney Cruises official website. Bluey at CAMP store locations CAMP One of the first immersive experiences Ludo Studio did in collaboration with was CAMP stores. The stateside family exploration space and toy store recreated Blueys family home in stunning detail with the shows teamits incredible and not to be missed. Heres CAMP store locations where its currently popping up at: Chicago (until January 25) Boston Philadelphia New York City Houston (starting in February 2025) Watch Bluey online and on streaming Ludo Studio And of course, theres still the show itself to rewatch while we wait for more news about the film (and whatever future remains for the TV series beyond it). Full episodes of Blueys three seasons are available towatch on Disney+ in the US, while several minisodes created to fill the gap in releases are viewable online.Want more io9 news?

Rafieians House / Pargar Architecture and Design StudioSave this picture! Parham TaghioffHousesTehran, IranArchitects: Pargar Architecture and Design StudioAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:469 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Parham Taghioff Lead Architects: Behzad Heidari, Shirin Samadian More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!"Rafieian's House" exemplifies the intricate relationship between interior and exterior spaces, posing a thought-provoking question: where is the boundary between outside and inside? This theme has long fascinated architects, as they explore how spaces transition and interact, from the primal experience of viewing rain from within a cave to Johnson's glass villa's transparent connection to the outdoors.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Rafieian's House reinterprets this connection, transforming it from a dialogue to a monologue, in which memories formed through presence are preserved at each doorway where exterior and interior spaces meet. This concept hinges on "presence" and its temporal essencethe elusive nature of "now," which vanishes as soon as it appears. By delving into this temporality, architects identified a cycle in spatial experiences: "being," "passing," and "arriving." In this framework, "being" and "arriving" are architectural "places," while "passing" embodies the transitional space between them.Save this picture!In Rafieian's House, moving between outer and inner spaces creates a dynamic dialogue that, while recording memories, also separates them. This transitional passage captures varying sensory experiencesrainfall, sunlight, shadows, and even snowfallinfusing each moment with a unique sense of presence.Save this picture!Save this picture!A pivotal aspect of the design is the spatial arrangement. Two buildings stand side by side, set at different heights, connected by glass bridges that symbolize the idea of "passing." The glass windows lining each building reflect the residents' images, enhancing the sense of presence and visual connection between "being" and "arriving." These central glass bridges, linking both sides of the house, create a continuous, serene passage that invites glimpses of the outside within an internal sequence.Save this picture!The spatial composition of Rafieian's House is equally thoughtful. The ground floor in the larger structure contains the living room, kitchen, and stairway, while the smaller structure hosts the dining room, TV area, and guest room. The first floor of the larger structure holds bedrooms and a small living room, and the master bedroom is located on the smaller side. The lower floor is dedicated to a lounge that opens into a northern garden pit, with additional areas for storage, parking, and utility spaces.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Beyond its villa structure, Rafieian's House captures the essence of a home by embedding memories within its spaces. Every architectural elementfrom glass reflections to transitional spacesserves to record moments, making the house a vessel for presence and nostalgia. Through this design, the architects have effectively encapsulated a philosophy where each passage, each window, and each bridge act as transparent thresholds, reminding its occupants of their perpetual presence even in their absence. This approach imbues Rafieian's House with a timeless quality, reflecting the layers of memory that turn a mere building into a home.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessAbout this officeMaterialsConcreteBrickMaterials and TagsPublished on January 11, 2025Cite: "Rafieians House / Pargar Architecture and Design Studio" 10 Jan 2025.
