I've seen Helsings and Van Helsings in vampire fictions (god, don't ask me where in fiction), but even in a lot of urban fantasy, there's a LOT of H(h)unters or S(s)layers.
Which OT1H, annoys me, but OTOH, unless you have a NAME for your supernatural slaying society as an author, the synomyms are...not great:
hunter: chaser, huntsman, pursuant, pursuer, sportsman, stalker, trapper, assassin, butcher, cut-throat, executioner, exterminator, gunman/woman, gunperson, hit person, hit-man/woman, slayer, soldier
slayer: assassin, butcher, criminal, cutthroat, enforcer, executioner, hit person, hit-and-run, homicide, killer, manslaughterer, manslayer, massacrer, murderess, perpetrator, slaughterer, soldier, trigger person, triggerman
Although a few would work, and I am pretty convulsed with laughter with Dean and Same being the "Massacre-ers," it's just so awkward to say!
And Anita Blake ruined "The Executioner" IMHO fiction-wise. BLEARGH.
Yep. I also liked the throwaway line Laurel said about looking silly in fishnets.
Yeah, that made me laugh.
Has anyone watched the new "Beauty and the Beast" (sorry if it's been discussed ... I skipped a lotta posts)? I watched the first episode where what's her name's mother gets killed and all I could think was "Lana's parents ... still dead".
I watched the first episode and then watched the original series via hulu.
I won't be going back to the reboot. Patooy.
Just to throw this out Gods and Monsters is a really good movie and I highly recommend it. Stars Iam McKellan and Brendan Fraser.
G&M is a really good film, I also recommend it!
Todd, there's still a few of us watching (maybe just me?), but I DVR and make liberal use of FF. Haven't actually programmed the series into the DVR, but every week (at least every week it doesn't conflict with 2 other shows), I find myself going, "Eh. What the hell," and telling the DVR to catch it.
"Lana's parents ... still dead".
Suh-nerk!
Thanks for that, sumi, I had forgotten that was starting tonight.
