We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Herding cats for fun

Interestingly enough, I went to school with his son, Frank.

Ooh. Tell us a story about that, please.

Fans of Nevada Barr, a traveling collection of Kate Shugak and Liam Campbell books exists, if you want to get in line for it. FYI. Jus' let me know.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

There's also the (I swear to heaven) Roger Vadim update movie of "Carmilla", called "Blood and Roses."

Inspiring the excellent Smithereens song, "Blood and Roses."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Hec, I actually own the movie on VHS.

Fun, in a twisty, bad dancing, tight pants, Bardot-wannabe early sixties eurotrash way.

IMHO, the only way Eurotrash should be!

Guys, the suggestions are great! Thanks so much.

Oh, and Haunted Mansion was one of the movies mentioned when I polled the clss I observe today about supernatural movies they liked.

Er, no.

Eurotrash vampire movies are the best! I'm also very fond of the early 70s Daughters of Darkness with Delphine Seyrig. Very elegant and louche. Set at an off-season resort. Kind of Thomas Mann with more biting and lesbianism.

Sacre merde, I do believe I've seen that one!

Daughters of Darkness. Evil with a finger wave.

Yup. That's the one. Jeepers.

I may have to rent it and refresh my memory. It was a long time ago, and I was very probably zonked.

Ooh. Tell us a story about that, please.

Not much to tell, sadly. He was living with his mom, which was why I never met his dad. We hung together some in 8th and 9th grade, about...

...20 years ago. Fuck, I'm old. Anyway, we played D&D occasionally, but we kinda drifted apart after 9th grade. My mom told me he died of some kind of heart thing last year. Hadn't seen him in years. Kinda sad, actually. Hadn't realized it was time to start checking the obits to see which friends had started to drop. Hmph.
