Nosferatu was awesome.

Incredibly fun horror; it was borderline funny how much they cultivated the sense of dread.

Willem Dafoe brought the humor amidst it all.

Side note:

At one point they said "9 of the clock" which I never realized until now was the origin of "o'clock".

I was pondering these funny contractions that we have the other day when I painstakingly battled autocorrect to write "What'd you get up to?" as if I couldn't tolerate a typo in a text (I clearly couldn't). What was curious was that I'd never write that in a formal setting; I'd opt for the lengthier "what did you get up to". However, when spoken, it'd be even further butchered to "Wuh-joo gedup to". Language is funny, but it's a powerful, shifting network of communication with enough consensus to effectively convey meaning.
