As a physically disabled woman who was once not physically disabled, let me tell you… playing video games all day because you’re bed bound isn’t fun, it’s just a reminder of everything you can’t do anymore. It’s not the dream you think it is. Be careful what you wish for…
@@Ecargallasandra My disability especially kicked off late in middle school, so I dropped out, unable to graduate. Now I'm 19, and mostly bed-bound. So, I don't really understand fully what it's like to lose the ability to work, because I never got it. I'm also mentally disabled, so I didn't get a job as a teen. I wish you the best, it really isn't easy being disabled, especially in this world.
@@SepticShockAKAVin I’m so sorry to hear it hit you so young. That’s just not fair or right. I hope you’re hanging in there. It’s a long journey but we don’t have any other choice but to walk it haha. I got diagnosed at 26. I’ve retained some brain damage to my basil ganglia, so my head isn’t where it used to be either, neither is my mobility or speech, I have multiple seizures nearly everyday. The thing is though, we aren’t alone in this. You’re not alone. I know it’s hard, as it’s hard for me, but we got this. One thing that’s helped me is learning workarounds for my struggles brought on by my physiological illness.
@@Ecargallasandra Hold up, that's CRAZY! I also have basal ganglia damage (and encephalitis), and IVIG is one of the only treatments that works the best for me! I can't get it unfortunately, but I'm making do. Even though I wish others didn't have to go through this too, deep down, it's nice to talk to someone who understands the struggle.
That and the Percy jackson books. I didnt have phone or any computer or tv at my house so books were like magic to me its strange. I used to consume books like like I binge netflix series today. I've lost my touch for reading now unfortunately
The movie changes a lot of stuff. It was supposed to be an adaptation to the first arc (first 3 books) but not only changes a lot of things but also borrows some plot points from later arcs without consideration for the whole overarching plot. The books (at least the the first 7 ones that I read) are pretty great.
I did like the music I the opening of movie idk about the books but I like the story of movie I watched this as my first vampire movie then I watched van helsing
This was freaking fabulous!! Thanks so much for taking on Cirque Du Freak and giving it such a sweetly irreverant treatment. I'm not sure what the movie adaptors would make of it, but personally I loved it!! Darren Shan. (The writer, not the actor in the movie!!)
I think the gravity of this movie was lost on me as a kid. Halma Sayek, Willem Defoe, John C Riley, Josh Hutcherson... Certified A and B listers starring as my favourite book characters! Really cool to see it pop up on one of these big movie recap channels
@@daraotl5187 Yeah, it was an insanely talented cast!! JOhn C Riley divided opinion, as many people only know him for his comedy films, and found that hard to reconcile, but I think he did a great job. He also read all the books and pushed (alas, unsuccessfuly) to have the film be more faithful to the source material.
I adored these books as a child. I was in 6th grade when the movie came out. Ever since I've seen the movie when I re-read the books I visualize Crepsley as John. C Reilly. Man I gotta re-read these books again now.
I feel so bad for Steve in this flick. The guy had one positive role model in Darren, and then Darren dies. I hate the part where the Vampire tastes his blood and refuses him, implying that him being a bad kid is somehow cooked into his DNA. That's a fucked up message.
The movies sucked but in the book essentially Darren and Steve had to be on the opposite sides of vampire and vampeneze. Mr. Tiny and an oracle essentially orchestrated it since Steve unites the vampeneze and Darren becomes a vampire prince. They both bring an end to the war between them.
If you play video games in your house, you’ll only play for a few hours But if you play video games in an oxygen enclosed grave, you’ll play for the rest of your life. Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me.
@@limlynica7136 I think you underestimate how quickly i can hyperventilate, expelling dangerous levels of carbon dioxide at a rate multiple times faster than regular breathing.
Okay lemme make a confession 😭 It's funny but i find the narraters voice very calming and I'm someone with insomnia but i noticed that whenever i watch his videos at night i feel relaxed therefore i always play his videos (not the scary ones tho) whenever I'm about to sleep. And believe it or not I find myself being able to sleep so yes thank you mystery recapped Edit: I Don't know why people are thinking that I'm calling this video's audio calming (in particular) I'm talking in general also thank you for the likes and also for the positive comments and recommendations 🥰
Cirque du Freak series is AMAZING. If you like adventures, gore, and vampires with a GREAT story line, you really need to check out the books! They also have a spinoff of Mr Crepsley called the Saga of Larten Crepsley. All books by Darren Shan!
We've come a long way, haven't we, Darren? From the classroom at home to this Cavern of Retribution. From humanity to vampirism and vampanizm. From the day to the night. - Steve Leonard, Killers of the dawn
ture and many people preferred the book series of this but I did try to read the first book but to me it was basically exactly the same as the flim so yeah.
Pretty sure it didn't get a sequel bc movie was trash and a lot of shit was changed and stuff that wasn't suppose to be mentioned in first movie got brought in basically messing with entire series plot.
"I just watched 'The Vampire's Assistant' and I have to say, it's an underrated gem! The acting is great, the story is unique, and the visuals are stunning. John C. Reilly is especially fantastic as the vampire Larten Crepsley. If you're a fan of vampire movies or just looking for a fun, quirky fantasy adventure, I highly recommend giving this movie a watch!"
@anuj murali oh well. I did try to read the first book but it is basically likei the flim but with a less then interesting plot and background and side character's and I did't borther with the rest of the book and I did't even borther with the read of the book series.
Ive read the books. Not all of them. I cant remember how many there are, but this is the only series thats actually been able to keep my attention. I hardly ever touch books, but being in school, I decided to randomly check out the first book. I read through a big portion of the series, but then I graduated. Once again, books are so much better than the movies. I remember the series is called Cirque Du Freak.
When you have a seemingly perfect kid who is a good student, and they mess up for the first time, why would your punishment be 2 MONTH grounding 🤣💀 that’s crazy
What a cast! I've never heard of this movie, and I stopped at the 4-minute mark (or so) after I saw Willem Dafoe. No, this is a movie I think I might watch without spoilers. A very rare thing, indeed!
5:20 Where have we seen this ? Unnatural spider, check Teens in highschool setting, check Oh no its Spider-Man and to make matters worse the spider was blue and red colored
*_Trust me, this really is a cool movie, and a good fun movie. I watched it a while back by pure accident, thinking it was something else. Am glad I watched it_*
They did a terrible job adapting this from the books, they combined 2 books worth of material into 1 movie. I remember I was obsessed with Cirque du Freak, I read all 12 books in just a 2 months, the most books I've ever read in my life. I remember I ended up finishing one of the books in just 3 days. I was genuinely captivated by the story and how interesting it was, how well written the main characters Darren and Mr. Crepsley were. I remember crying when I finished the final book. I even read the 4 prequel books about Mr. Crepsley. Growing up, I hated reading books, in the 7th grade, I was recommended Cirque du Freak by my English teacher and for the first and only time in my life, I actually enjoyed reading.
I clicked on this video, not realizing this was the book-to-movie adaptation that broke my heart. I walked out of that theater as a child, disappointed beyond belief.
I got grounded till Christmas for almost 5 months... talking about Christmas I never got what I wanted that Christmas so I bombarded the entire north pole(Santa never expected that🥰)
