I just finished Let The Right One In. I really like it, but I was not expecting such a seemingly sympathetic vampire to be so... Vampiric. I've been spoiled by the vegetarian vampire woobies, perhaps.
I swear, one of these times, you're gonna wake up in a coma.

Buffista Movies 7: Brides for 7 Samurai
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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just hate when any game is decided by bad calls.
I just thought this was movie commentary disguised as a reference to sports. We're buffistas, would anyone be surprised?

Hey. New board.
Ten minutes later, I'm finding myself seriously haunted by the last two scenes, and not in a way I think I like. That was not a happy movie, no matter how much it is described as a love story.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
Corwood, dude, that's hilarious. Also, kind of fucked up. I like it.

That was one of the things I liked best about it, but that should surprise no one.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've been mainlining Avatar: The Last Airbender. (aifg!) I took a break to watch the movie trailer. Dev Patel and Noah Ringer look awesome but I'm worried. Does M Night Shyamalan have a sense of humor?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
that's funny. mac just had me add season 3 to our Netflix watch instantly and started watching it immediately.
I hope the movie has light moments like the show, otherwise mac will be very disappointed.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm agreed with Gris and Jilli on LTROI, which I finally saw. The little boy will not be 12 forever, and now he'll be her new caretaker, and probably meet a similar end someday.
But I loved it. I'm glad she was a real, non-sparkly, not particularly sympathetic, vampire. That the characterization of the boy was right on; I completely understood why he identified/sympathized with her. And the way they filmed her crawling up walls and dropping out of trees onto people, all understated and simple, was effing scary.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Alexander Skarsgard joins Battleship. I'm still at the point where I'm surprised there are people in it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Hmm. I have a sinking feeling I am going to need to see it. (Pun intended)
