Whenever I am watching a good movie, I always get disappointed when the culprit for the mischief ends up being like vampires or aliens or something. It ruins movies, so we probably don't like the same movies to begin with!

Well, I just watched the third movie, Near Dark...I liked this one! The word vampire is never used throughout the movie but it's obvious. I like happy endings, guy gets girl, so this was satisfying! Again, vampires with strictly human features...not even noticeable fangs. Different than any movie of this type I've seen...so, 2-3 ain't bad!

I guess the genre in general just doesn't appeal to me. For what it's worth, the same dude made me watch Buffy against my will. I ended up enjoying that enough where i watched it on DVD for quite some time.

Well, I mostly fell in love with it because of Kendra...the rest was good, but inconsequential beyond her

Sorry to hear that, Kendra was pretty short-lived on the show, the actress played the part well and the character (like all of Joss') was interesting, I guess you aren't a big fan of Drusilla then? Juliette Landau played the role so well!

I dunno, I mean I enjoyed the episodes that she wasn't in (ie most of them) but she was the only character that I really latched on to...the only one that i REALLY liked.

That's cool...the great thing about the show (well ok, one of many) is the number of interesting characters. They talked a lot in the extras about that role and the actress...she underwent extensive training by the dialog coach to get that accent...apparently native to a small area of Jamaica. I thought her naming her stake "Mr Pointy" was hilarious!

"Methinks thou doth protest too much" You said I intruded on a conversation with Brian. Your post about your care package was up hours before Brian answered you...so how is that intrusion? Frankly, I don't understand your irritation about my post! It was in jest, I'm sorry you took offense.

Damn vampire elitists.
