    For the longest time, I refused to watch anything he was acting in. I think it was sometime between maybe 1997 and 2002 when I realized how much his movies had started to suck.

    More recently though, I caved and decided to watch Renfield, and I’m glad I gave it a chance. It’s not like the greatest movie ever, but I thought it was cute. And I actually really enjoyed Nic in this movie for the first time in decades.

      I totally get that, but for what it’s worth, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is worth giving a shot, too! It breaks the 4th wall in a refreshingly humorous & self-deprecating way. Loved it!

        I’d be willing to give it a try. I haven’t watched much of his more recent filmography, and what I’ve seen was not in chronological order.

        After seeing him in Renfield, I did end up watching Color Out of Space and Willy’s Wonderland. Neither of those movies was something magnificent the way I view his performance in Renfield, but I enjoyed them. Well, Willy’s Wonderland was meh, but I really liked Color Out of Space for what it is worth.

        Pig is a really unique and fun movie. John Wick meets Top Chef, or something like that…
