I love the comment about one of the men becoming "just" a handyman in his small town back home, but when he died, he had over 1600 people at his funeral. Now there's a tribute!
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

That scene by the lake in the opening scene of the last episode was slashier than some of the season 1 Smallville, which is my slash-barometer. Can't quite wrap my mind around RL war-vet slash though.
Agreed
I was SO in Love with Lewis in BoB. Great character and great acting
Agreed
though I still adore the film
Agreed
I hated everything about that Dracula movie, so I don't particularly remember Keanu's accent.

Always Anti-fascist!
Clarke Peters(Lester Freamon) is also a Wire UKer. That one still makes me go "No way!" because he nails an American accent so perfectly. And he just plays the hell out of that part in every possible way...hard to believe he's not *Lester*, let alone not from Balmer.

Thrive to spite them
In BoB I could have sworn there was narration during the winter seige thing. I'm not sure what to call it, but I could have sworn there was narration there and another place where it was Walberg doing the narration.
I had no clue that Lester was not American.
Also --erika because you've been talking about Peleconos (which I think I mispelled) I picked up one of his books at the library.

There was. I don't remember if there was narration by Walberg anywhere else, but he definitely narrated the siege at Foy.

That movie caused a schism between me and a couple of my friends for a little while after it came out because they were all "OMG, IT'S SO SWEEPING AND ROMANTIC AND VAMPIRES AND TAKE ME AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS DEATH!!!!1!!1!," and I was all "You know it's one huge steaming pile of poo, right?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Tom Waits made an excellent Renfield.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I was all "You know it's one huge steaming pile of poo, right?"
Very stylish poo, though. If I turned off my brain I could enjoy a fair bit of the pretty. Kind of like Mary Shelly's Frankenstein.
That reminds me, at the scene where the suitors and Van Helsing are riding to save whatsherface in Dracula, the guy I was watching the movie with leaned over to me and said, "Good God. It's Van Helsing and the Three Stooges vs. Dracula."

Tom Waits made an excellent Renfield.
By the time Renfield showed up, I was gnawing off my own leg to get out of the theater.
The Klimt-style stuff was pretty, if completely inappropriate (and I'm not a huge Klimt fan anyway).
Oh! But on topic, Gary Oldman's Romanian, and the accent, were atrocious. Romanian accents are hard to do, though.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
Thesis: There have been no good vampire movies made in Hollywood since Lost Boys, with the exception of the original BTVS movie. Discuss.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
Even "Lost Boys" requires some rosetinting, which is allowable because so many of us were young'uns when it came out. I'm thinking particularly of the very end, which was only missing an over-the-top, hands-on-hips, "Oh, Grampa!" followed by the entire cast laughing and then a freeze as the credits roll.
