Plei & Scrappy are wise.
Jilli is also wise. But we all knew that.
Not very many sexy female vampires, tho. Gotta give that one to Catherine Denueve.
You know me! I'm like, "Go school! It's your birthday!" Or something to that effect.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Speaking of Dracula, last weekend I saw the late 70's Dracula with Frank Langella as the Count and Laurence Olivier as Van Helsing.
The tomb confrontation scene with Lucy freaked me right out. That is still the scariest vampire I've ever seen.
Okay, let's hear votes--sexiest movie vampire? best movie vampire? Who and why?
My vote for sexiest goes to Stephen Dorff in Blade because, well, Stephen Dorff. I think Louis Jordan absolutely nailed the role in the BBC Dracula, better than Lugosi or Langella. Lily Taylor in The Addiction did a great job of conveying how horrible it would be to find oneself undergoing that transformation.

I really need to track that down. I've never seen it.

It's been a long time since I saw it Jilli, but I recall it being about 95% faithful to the written source. And of course since it was a BBC television production they made it for $3.50, so everything depended on atmosphere and the performances rather than special effects, sets, etc.

Hey. New board.
Speaking of David Bowie, just got Labyrinth in the mail, courtesy of an amazon.com gift certificate. I forgot i ordered it until it got here, a very nice surprise.
It came with Season 1 of the Gilmore Girls, the latest book in the Gossip Girl series, and a book (hardcover, oddly) called "The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things." I suspect I may have been drunk when placing this order, but that's okay. A nice mix.

Unless you watch a lot of trashy Euro-horror movies. Then? There are tons of them.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I saw The Island tonight.
Ewan and Scarlett and Sean and Djimon are very pretty.
I am very glad I saw it for free.

Did Michael Bay blow shit up? I like it when they blow shit up.

Yeah, shit was blown up. And then more shit was blown up. And then, oh, some shit? Blown up.
Lather. Rinse. Explode.
I don't think I've ever been so bored by a chase scene in my life. (Note: roughly 85% of this movie is chase scene.)
Ewan has one extremely adorable scene. But it was not worth $10.
