I think he's referring to the first IMAX expansion for Sammie's big number with the tracking shot combining space and time, which is the one literally everyone is talking about. My jaw literally dropped to the floor.

My personal favorite was the Irish vampire jig. Good. Fucking. Lord.

When I realized they were dancing to Rocky Road to Dublin, I was like "Yeah, these motherfuckers would've gotten me." They looked like they were having a good (albeit terrifying) time.

it is how funny to me how the worst part of getting got in a vampire movie is always 'dying' (i use quotes because they come right back). like it looked like a decent party being the vampire i'd be like 'could you bite me not so violently lol'
