Wonderful stuff. One of the better reasons to watch the films.
 
wasnt impressed

wasnt impressed by the movie at all as a White Wolf Vampire The Masqurade player but as a regular jane doe seeing it the movie wasnt too bad but I thought it dragged some I think the storyline could have been deeper
 
I was really excited about this movie. It looked amazing --- great art direction ---- but it disappointed.

I identify Lycan. Vampires are sexy but give me something snarly and hot breathing down the back of my neck. Growl and tussle and rend and bite and then go howl at the moon in pure exhilaration.

Things that pissed me off:

What's up with Vampires that do nothing but sit around and look good? They don't ever suck anybody's blood. They never leave their musty old mansion and they can't smell a spray of fresh arterial blood on a wall less than two feet away? They can't see in the dark or move silently? There's got to be more to Vampirism than looking good in tight clothes and hopping off the occasional building.

Would it be too much to ask that Beckinsale enter just one room without kicking open the door like a sulky adolescent?

Couldn't they have cast someone less dorky to play the baddy-vampire? I mean, he looks and acts like a bad Elvis impersonator. I never could figure out why he was hung up on Beckinsale --- I mean other than the obvious reasons that she looks damn fine in the film. And why would he want to rule over a bunch of lazy, manse-bound, mannequins?


The Lycans were hot, hot, hot. Their story made sense. They had a purpose. Lucien was empathetic and a totally real character for me.

Scott Speeman is a dolt.

Too much footage of shooting guns in long dark hallways. Borrring.

Too much stopping for long exposition that didn't make a lot of sense. It should have been better incorporated. They could have done that with some of the time taken away from the aforementioned hallway shootouts.


But it looked fantastic and I like the idea ---- and except for the fact that it was Scott Speedman under there, the Lycanpire (Vampanthrope?) hybrid was pretty cool.

So, exactly how many times did you orgasm watching "An American Werewolf in Paris?"

You missed the quick exposition in the safe house interrogation room ... synthetic blood. No bodies to remove, no explanations for messy situations to the human world required. The first Blade did a better job of intonating back alley deals between the humans and children of the night.

She'd lost her family to one of the two clans. Some spend their lives looking for revenge in the human world. She chose a different route for relentless.

Chuckling ... i'll answer one of the many. Beckinsale reminded him of the daughter he had killed.

C'mon, admit the truth ... you've got a harnessed hard-on for his cute little bungholio ... http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/363868/2cool2.gif

"Oh.... three or four." (whap! whap! whap!). I was quite fond of The Company of Wolves.

Nah, I understood about the synthetic blood, but they don't even nibble for kicks. Where's the fun in that kind of vampire? I was VERY happy with Blade as far as cyberpunk neo-vampirism goes.

Yeah, yeah, but it was a directorial choice that wore thin----- too one dimensional. The same thing over and over and over. I get it, she's angsty and frustrated and with good reason, but there's so much more that can be done with that character. Not many layers were delivered.

Chuckling ... i'll answer one of the many. Beckinsale reminded him of the daughter he had killed.


No, no, not the big Daddy Vampire sleeping in the crypt all icky and sick looking. The young guy lording it over everyone who wanted to get in her pants and rule the Vampire world with her at his side. The double-crosser guy. He was so NOT Toppy enough to pull off his role. My granny could've slapped him down.

C'mon, admit the truth ... you've got a harnessed hard-on for his cute little bungholio ...


hahaha, only metaphorically speaking. That's really not my style. Besides, I find him boring. Who wants to play with boring? Now, Beckinsale's Ex, the guy that played Lucien, I'd roll for him any day of the week.

Think vampire 69, but under PG-13 restrictions ...

Only two required ... Viktor's head at a slant.

Hence the name Craven?

Tell that to the mouse with the broken back that has a cat occasionally bat him ...
 


Well, yeah, some....but not totally undescriminating....usually.

PG-13 is for marketing whores. Give me some gee-dee R-rated movies. Hell, move right on over to NC-17. I'd say X but once they break out the penetration shots the rest of the movie tends to go to hell.

Seriously, were those not the most boring, vapid vampires you ever encountered?

Only two required ... Viktor's head at a slant.


snerk!

Hence the name Craven?


Right, but here's the thing. He was never believable in his role as tough-guy. He didn't just end up as a blustering shell of a vamp, he started off that way. The others were supposed to take him seriously. He was supposed to be their un-official leader. He was supposed to be fearsome. Instead he was just showy and laughable which meant to me that none of those vampires were worth a damn if they'd turn a blind eye and let such a posturing brat tell them what to do.

Tell that to the mouse with the broken back that has a cat occasionally bat him ...


Ah, but the cat doesn't think the mouse's suffering is boring even if the mouse can't run away anymore. I only want to make people suffer if they've wronged me or someone I love.....and occasionally if they're just annoying. ;->

But that's the point ... lazy, decadent, Roman orgy whimsical.

But whom put Craven in charge? Think "just wait until Daddy wakes up, your ass is so in trouble ..." i don't know about you, but a vamp that ripped apart the strongest lycan in the movie ain't someone i want to disagree with over who runs the coven in his absence.

i have a cat idly tearing the wings off a wasp that would beg to differ. He's walked away from the po'd yellowjacket four times in the last hour and took a nap between torture sessions.
 
Ah ah ah ... you blinked ...


Just being honest. I can't deny that I have upon occasion been led astray by some aspect of my libido when I just knew better than to touch that stove.

But that's the point ... lazy, decadent, Roman orgy whimsical.


The lazing about is only fun if you actually got to see the orgy. There's a difference between luxuriantly slothful and just plain old apathetic. I never got the idea that these folks had any fun at all. Where are the clubs? Where are the slaves? Where is all the sex people dressed like that should be having????

But whom put Craven in charge? Think "just wait until Daddy wakes up, your ass is so in trouble ..." i don't know about you, but a vamp that ripped apart the strongest lycan in the movie ain't someone i want to disagree with over who runs the coven in his absence.


Ehh, still not working for me. If he's in charge then he shouldn't need to be plotting to overthrow everyone. He was weak. He looked it. It bugged the crap out of me because he's supposed to be a believable adversary not just an annoyance.

Then he's obviously not bored. Sadistic, yes, but not bored. When he gets bored he'll quit going back.

Diddle faster and think of Lucien's eyes when they go blue and bug-eyed.
