by Bob Makin
published 2025-07-16

​​​​​​​When I was kid going to Point Pleasant Beach High School in the late '70s and early '80s, there was a band that made us feel like we had our own personal rock stars: Wonderspace. They were an amazing band, kind of like a cross between the pop of The Beatles, the progressive rock of Yes, and the swagger of Led Zeppelin.

We have thoughts about the Sixth Street Embankment. It would be odd if we didn't. Anything that heavy is bound to leave an impression on sensitive souls. The great stone sleeper has dozed for years, unperturbed, as the rest of the town has changed around it. Court cases, environmental studies, and action plans from transportation agency aside, our ongoing reluctance to change the Embankment has a superstitious quality about it. Do we see it as a giant paperweight, without which the entire Downtown will fly away into the turbine of international capitalism? Or does the long black wall feel more like the body of a beast, a serpent from a Hudson County version of Midgard, inviolable and primordial, and too dangerous to touch?

The makers of 1922's Nosferatu ran into trouble with the estate of Bram Stoker for pilfering the plot of his career-defining novel 'Dracula'. Robert Eggers had no such worries with his recent remake of that silent classic, as Stoker's novel has long been in the public domain at this point, meaning anyone is free to adapt it or use its characters. We've seen scores of adaptations of Dracula, but few filmmakers have strip-mined the novel for its supporting characters, the Hugh Jackman headlined Van Helsing a notable exception.
