Oh, I should add Harry Potter, since He Who Must Not Be Named is most certainly Dead. Plust all the ghosts and whatnot.
Hey! What do you two think you're doing? Fightin' at a time like this. You'll use up all the air!

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
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).

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

Joss looks positively brilliant by going for vampire with a soul instead of a dhampire.

Gotcha, Theodosia. Good luck!

"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
Huh. Did we know Christopher Walken has overtaken Michael Caine as the man least likely to turn down a movie role?
They don't get to duke it out for that title until Christopher Lee is dead. He owns them both put together.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Lee's been in lots of movies over his long, long career, but there's a good chance of people on this board checking their family's old home movies and discovering Michael Caine in them.

True. Lee padded his resumé (227 on imdb, to Caine's 120 and Walken's 99) with just tons of films no one ever saw. My mother called him a film whore once, and that's strong language for my mum. Looking at the filmographies of the other two, there's a higher recognition percentage.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
- Lee has 227 movies over 58 years: 3.9/year
- Caine has 120 over 50: 2.4/year
- Walken edges Caine with 2.425/year
Very unscientific means, since I didn't take out TV listings except for Walken's first two.
