So, seeing the trailers for Underworld: Evolution, I was struck by how Blade II:esque the plot looks to be. Badass halfvampire must fight off freaky things that evolved from vampires and now kill them, and joins forces with hisher enemies to do it.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
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.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You sure you're not talking about Bloodrayne there?

I don't really understand the economics of filmmaking, but I have to say that if The Prophecy can get to 5, then it seems at least possible that Serenity could get to 2.
This is exactlly what I've been saying! And I'm not even dissing Prophesy 4 & 5. Despite being truly terrible dreck, they gave me more Jason Scott Lee on screen.

I haven't seen any trailers for Bloodrayne and I consider myself fortunate. An Uwe Boll movie based on a game I never liked in the first place? The word trainwreck isn't even close to describing what I think that movie will be like.
I thought Bloodrayne's whole schtick was she killed Nazis. The movie has her killing mutant vampires? Huh.

Maybe they'll be Nazi precursor mutant vampires.

Corwood, from the panel's description, it's discussing "recent" movies and TV shows. Thus the plan is to name some of the more contemporary ones plus some of the more historic and significant "recent" older ones, like Sixth Sense.

Oh, I should add Harry Potter, since He Who Must Not Be Named is most certainly Dead. Plust all the ghosts and whatnot.

There is no mention of mutants, true. But she's half human, half vampire, and she's teamed with people that might otherwise be hunting her down in order to kill the bad vampires.

And I should add, thank you all so much for your help! At least I won't appear to be completely uninformed about Recent Dead Events (and I Don't Mean The Grateful Kind).

Ah. Didn't realize she was half-human or anything about the plot of the movie.
