Senator Dianne Feinstein Taken To Hospital After Tripping, Falling In San Francisco

Senator Dianne Feinstein was at the hospital, TMZ has learned, after tripping and falling Tuesday in her home city of San Francisco.

We do not know how serious her injuries are … only that she was taken to a nearby hospital. We’re told she returned home Tuesday night.

The 90-year-old Senator has struggled with health issues over the last year. She was absent from the Senate for nearly 3 months earlier this year dealing with shingles, Ramsay Hunt syndrome and encephalitis.

How do you trip and fall in a wheelchair? Oh, that’s right.

The prevailing theory is that Pelosi is keeping Feinstein in office because she fears that Newsom will put Barbara Lee in the Senator slot, which will make it harder for Innsmouth Schiff to be elected to the Senate. The entertainment value of a Lee/Schiff Senate race is appealing, moron vs. corrupt snake might be a fun mudpie-eating contest, but the results are the same: another shitty Californian in the Senate.


 

I know it is just a Gizmodo paid promotion for The Last Voyage of the Demeter, but these aren’t uniformly horrible lists.

The 25 best vampire films of all time, ranked

24. Bit is a completely waste of time, one of the very few movies I didn’t finish. A transwoman joins a group of feminist vampires who only kill toxic men. Hackwork.

23. Love the inclusion of Blade II.

21. Big shout-out for including Daughters of Darkness. One of the first and best of the early 70s lesbian vampire movie cycle.

16. I highly recommend Shadow of the Vampire. Malkovich and DeFoe are fantastic.

7. The Hunger. If you’ve never seen the movie where David Bowie is a vampire, you are missing out. Also, a really interesting book by Whitney Steiber before all his alien abduction mania. (Added bonus: Bauhaus performs in the opening scene.)

1. Bram Stoker’s Dracula should not be number one. The terrible casting choices of Keanu Reeves and Winona Ryder drags the movie down to almost camp. It’s a beautiful film and Oldman’s performance makes it worth watching, but Reeves and Ryder–two actors I normally enjoy–just awful.

 

The 16 worst vampire films of all time, ranked

Such a rich field to till. So many terrible vampire films to choose from.

15. John Carpenter’s Vampire$. Hold up. This isn’t a cinematic masterpiece, but it is nowhere near pne of the 16 worse. I suspect James Woods coming out of conservative led to this.

14. Sleepwalkers. No, no, no. Bad AV Club. This is an amazing romp of a bad movie. Mädchen Amick is gorgeous (Shelly the waitress from Twin Peaks) and Alice Krige’s performance is delightfully unhinged. And it contains one of the best kills in all of horror cinema.

11. Underworld? You fuckers.

1-9. These all deserve derision of the highest order.


 

In honor of the Worst Vampire Films, I present you the worst cover of a song about a vampire. Just terrible. They might as well have taken a shit on a 12″ “Bela Lugosi’s Dead” album single and flung it at your ears. (The movie is was recorded for sucks ass and balls as well.)
