Buffy ,'Sleeper'
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.
The kid in Near Dark was really good. I totally bought his character.
He was even scarier as a sociopathic pre-teen in The River's Edge.
And, of course, Near Dark gave us Adrian Pasdar pre-Profit. And half the cast of Aliens (though it was post-that-movie).
I also really liked Jenny Wright. She just seemed to disappear after this.
Funny trivia bit about the kid (Josh Miller)- he's Jason Patric's half-brother.
Daniel Radcliffe talking about HBP.

Ahh, Gary Oldman, acting mentor.
Speaking of which I hope they have Harry Groener on Dollhouse with Eliza.
I rented Near Dark after seeing Jenny Wright in The Wall.
There are also child vampires in 30 Days of Night (minor role), Blade (minor role), Blade: The Series (most kickass scene-stealing villain in the whole show), and Forever Knight (ditto).
> Although I don't know how Studi would "reprise his role" from the original film, considering his character was killed in the raid on the Lakota.
Four words: Magical Indian Spirit Guide.
Or, possibly one: peyote

I LOVED her. Seriously, I made squeaky noises of glee when she appeared on screen.
She also chuckled in a somewhat worrisome fashion.
Also in Ultraviolet. Which, not a movie, but the creepiest child vampire by far, imho.
Just watched the opening title sequence for Catch Me if You Can--
Definitely lives up to the hype-- it's as stylistically pretty as the opening credits for Down With Love.
And the music? Usually, I can spot a John Williams within eight measures (Not that this is bad-- I can do the same with Elfman), but he really stretched himself on this one and captured that minimalistic jazz noir feel.
