hehehe it was just too good not to re-post :D

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

LMAO!! AWESOME!!! That's too funny :D

Also, that tiny snippet of Angel there at the end \0/ ...It was such a good show (before Whedon lost the plot) *misses good BtVS & Angel*

Thanks for sharing!

[stargater.livejournal.com]

heehe :D And thanks, I was actually wondering what that was at the end lol ;P

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Happy to help :D

The blue chick was named Illyria. She was a fascinating character and was a breath of fresh air after a horrible, horrible 2 seasons (thanks to Whedon abandoning Angel for Firefly -.-) You're probably not interested, otherwise I'd go on :P But if you are, you can click the link there and it'll take you to her Wiki entry. No pressure at all btw. It's all good if you shrug and move on. Vampires and demons aren't everyone's cup of tea :P

No, it's interesting because it's something I don't know about so thanks for the info and link! :D I had seen a few episodes of Buffy (and Angel because I remembered David Boreanaz) when it was on long time ago but it's pretty much like you said, vampires and related just aren't my cup of tea I guess, I never really cared much for it. I've have seen many vampire related movies though but only liked a rare few of them. *shrugs*

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Oh, no problem :)

It's funny, I wouldn't call myself a huge fan of vampires and their kin either, really. That said, I loved Anne Rice's vampire books and I love the movie, too. But I never liked Whedon's vampires b/c they're utterly nonsensical. They're dead, but they can apparently still smoke and have sex. Go figure. One stupendously stupid S5 Angel episode had one vampire lose his limbs only to have them 'magically' grow back. I really can't articulate how much I hated how illogical Whedons vamps were. When Buffy first started actually, I remember a HUGE bitch fight between fans of Rice's vampires versus Whedons vamps.

Heh - those were the days.

Which movies did you like, out of curiosity?

[stargater.livejournal.com]

I've read part of one of Anne Rice's books but I can't even remember the title of it, it was quite awhile ago. I typically don't leave books unfinished either but sadly it was one of those that fell that way. lol, that nonsensical type of thing borders between complete stupidity and comical for me, sometimes things like that just make me lol because they are so nonsensical :P

Um, let's see one ones that come to mind. Interview With the Vampire (this was not the Anne Rice book I had read either, I've never read the book for this movie) was good and I also liked the first Blade movie. Also, Bram Stoker's Dracula was good but I saw it on TV and probably was an edited version. Does the Buffy the Vampire movie count? I liked it and remembered it being humorous. :P

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Y'know, while I did plow through most of the Anne Rice's books, I didn't think any matched Interview. It was definitely the best imho. My point though - I could see why some may not want to be bothered finishing one of the sequels.

I think it depends on how into something I am - on whether or not I laugh and scoff at teh stupid. I can chortle with the best of them but when it's something I actually care about - well - then it just infuriates me. The fact I actually liked BtVS and Angel just made the sucky vamp illogic beyond maddening. But like, say, any Spiderman villain just makes me roftl.

I too, loved Interview With the Vampire. I was all prepared to loathe it b/c I can't stand Tom Cruise - but it actually really rocked. The first Blade = Stephen Dorff goodness :D I actually didn't like Bram Stoker's Dracula, I must admit. It just didn't work for me - I'm not sure why (it's been forever since I saw it) Yes, sure, the original Buffy counts. We loved that - it was hysterical. Kindred: The Embraced was another vampire show I just loved too. It was canceled after one of the leads died :( I like vampires when written correctly - they can be so beautifully tragic.

[stargater.livejournal.com]

Oh I totally know what you mean, if I really like something and they do teh stupid with it, it totally annoys me where if it were something say I didn't like so much, I'd probably laugh at it :P

I remember that show Kindred though I can't say I watched it, just remembered it being on. And I agree, some vampire stories can be beautifully tragic and that's alright but most the time I think they are just too gory and lack plot. Like this one movie I watched a couple weeks ago, I can't even remember the name of it, where vampires try to take over this small Alaskan town. Anyway, all it was was blood and violence and savage biting of peoples necks and stuff. Yawn.

Like this one movie I watched a couple weeks ago, I can't even remember the name of it, where vampires try to take over this small Alaskan town.
30 Day of Night by any chance? LOL! I remember us discussing Josh Hartnett's talent for making movies that suck (no pun intended) - and that was yet another. TBH, actually, S downloaded it but it was a screwed up copy so after 15 minutes it jumped to like the last 15 mins or something and honestly, I was so glad. S was enjoying it sorta but I was just hating it. So when we had to turn it off I was \0/

So yes, vamp (and horror) that are in it just for the gore= zzzzzzzzzzzzz. I dislike those too.

Kindred was sooo excellent. If it ever comes out on Region 2, I'm SOOO buying it. :P

[stargater.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes! That's it, 30 Days of Night and I now remember talking about Josh Hartnett lol. The movie wasn't that bad, but it was bad enough :P I don't know why they don't do more of tragic story rather than the gory horror with it, but I guess a lot of people probably associate vampires with horror. *shrugs*

hehe! Well I hope it comes out sometime so you can add it to your collection :D

[rithmah.livejournal.com]

Okay, that was amusing, too.

Those Space commercials are brilliant. :D

[stargater.livejournal.com]

And yes, yes they are :D
