I just watched Let The Right One In and I didn't like it. I was distracted throughout by the impracticality of the whole thing--I don't get how she or her first companion have any clue how to make what they're doing sustainable over time. I didn't like her. Did like Oskar, though.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

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

Company! I hadn't read a single non-positive word about it.

ita, I was kind of meh on it as well, but I feel like it deserves an I Was Tired pass, at the very least. It was incredibly slow, regardless.

I feel shallow asking for a conflict--you know painting myself as a hick movie watcher, but given that I watched the whole thing mainly as a) an exercise in discipline and b) verification it would end like I guessed, maybe I wasn't up to the sheer glory (or whatever) of the film.

I figured Eli would be in on the final comeuppance since s/he promised s/he'd help him out--I totally didn't call how gruesome.
I love the sound effects for Eli's feeding.

My biggest disappointment was the scene with Wolverine and the helicopter. I thought that was going to be some cool ass shit based on the snippet I saw in the trailers.
That scene was so laughable I half expected to see Rose McGowan's character from Planet Terror wave her prosthetic leg-gun at Wolverine as she went soaring past.
I just saw an interview snippet tonight about Hugh accidentally leaving a claw stuck in Taylor Kitsch's hand during their fight scene, so apparently they did actually use physical claw prosthetics at some point. They must have designed very fake-looking ones to match the CGI.
