You're too young?
It was sorta' a big deal when the movie came out in '83-ish....
Don't kill anyone if you don't have to. We're here to make a deal.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
God, now I have a craving to watch it again. All kinds of nice soft-focus vampiness.

Yeah I was busy being born and mastering the whole holding-my-head-up thing that year. Still though, that seems like enough fabulous things in a movie that I should have heard of it.

Indeed, it's rather a cliche of awesome eighties imagery. It's all opera and goth and beautiful cheekbones and flash cuts and ankhs. Ann Magnuson plays this sexy little punk girl who does a sexy little dance before she's killed by Bowie.
It's directed by Tony Scott, the younger brother of Ridley. He also directed True Romance.

Ooh, I didn't know that. (Although I didn't know who Magnuson was when the flick came out.)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And now every movie with Denzel Washington, right?

ION, this sounds cool:
Of Dolls and Murder, A Documentary About Dollhouse Crime Scenes
“Of Dolls and Murder”, a documentary about dollhouse crime scene investigations, directed by Susan Marks and narrated by John Waters.
The new documentary film, Of Dolls and Murder, explores our collective fascination with forensics while unearthing the criminal element that lurks in one particularly gruesome collection of dollhouses. Rather than reflecting an idealized version of reality, these surreal dollhouses reveal the darker, disturbing side of domestic life.
Created strictly for adults, these dollhouse dioramas are home to violent murder, prostitution, mental illness, adultery and alcohol abuse. Each dollhouse has tiny corpse dolls, representing an actual murder victim. In one bizarre case, a beautiful woman lays shot to death in her bed, her clean-cut, pajama-clad husband lies next to the bed, also fatally shot. Their sweet little baby was shot as she slept in her crib. Blood is spattered everywhere. And all the doors were locked from the inside, meaning the case is likely a double homicide/suicide. But something isn’t right. The murder weapon is nowhere near the doll corpses – instead the gun was found in another room.

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

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Does The Hunger have a seduction scene featuring a cello bow?

Because you haven't been around when I go into raptures about the opening sequence? Peter Murphy in a cage! David Bowie as a vampire!
... I really don't care about the rest of the movie. It's fun, and it's a good vampire movie, but HELLO PETER MURPHY AND DAVID BOWIE AND VAMPIRES. Stamp my Goth Cliché card now, please.
