Willem's Hunting Them Vampires Yo

That's our first look at Willem Dafoe as the vampire hunter in Robert Eggers' Nosferatu (via), and if that image doesn't make every hair on your body stand on end and salute attention then you're a corpse and Willem needs to be hunting you.

Anyway I was talking with the boyfriend over the weekend about Poor Things (which he finally saw for the first time) and the aubject of Willem's age came up -- Willem Dafoe is 68 y'all. We gotta get Willem Dafoe his goddamned Oscar already. All hands on deck -- let's steer this thing in already.
