Man, I have not seen any of those vampire works. I am vampire movie-deficient. Well, I've seen Blade, but I don't remember a kid vampire.

Oh, and you mean Ultraviolet the series! Which I will be watching soon enough. I'm glad it has a creepy child vampire.

John Williams was a jazz pianist before he started writing film scores.

Yeah, but I've not really known him to incorporate the background quite to this extent. It didn't have that blatant "I am a John Williams score" feel to it at all.

Did you ever hear the "1941" soundtrack? That one is a lot of fun.

Heh-- I played the march, in both symphonic and marching band. It is one of the best marches ever. And the overture to The Cowboys is also fabulous. (As a French horn player, I loved playing anything Williams—he's always good to the hornies)

ETA: after a lifetime of Sousa marches... god, I love Williams' marches.

I played the French Horn too! and Sousa marches were an endless string of offbeats, IIRC.

Another non-Williams-esque Williams score? Empire of the Sun.

Jeez, it's been forever since I heard that one-- I was just listening through a greatest hits CD that I have and Sugarland Express, the main theme, at any rate, also struck me as being very different.

Whoa, I wanna see this.

Technotise - Serbian animated science fiction movie. Looks gorgeous and cool badass heroine.

Mind you, now that I think about it, other than Claudia, Little Timmy Valentine from Vampire Junction, and, er, whatshertoes in the first Anita Blake novel, I can't think of many other examples of vampire children.

I think a child vampire turned the guy who turned Genieve in Kim Newman's novel.

I'm amazed how many people don't know how to pronounce Elegy.
