Back from watching Twilight

1 coffin flask of rose liqueur = not enough alcohol.

I will admit, the movie was dippy fun. I thought I was going to sprain my eyeballs from rolling them so hard, but it was still fun. Robert Pattison is a handsome young man, even if the makeup artist for the movie couldn't be bothered to blend his white foundation past his jaw line.

However, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it dream sequence of him as a REAL vampire? That was well done. Pity the whole movie couldn't have been like that, but then it wouldn't be Twilight, would it? ... I feel like I need to go watch The Lost Boys or Near Dark or 30 Days of Night to cleanse my brain or something.

And now, because it needs to be linked to again: Cleolinda's Twilight in 15 minutes..

Yeeeah, that seems to be a common problem these days. It was pretty much the same thing with the True Blood series: pale, pale faces and ruddy necks. *sigh* I mean, was their budget so small that they could only afford makeup for their faces? At least the vampires in Being Human* don't suffer from this problem.

*An awesome, awesome show about a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost which is currently airing in the UK. If it ever hits American TV or is released on DVD in R1, I highly recommend it for fans of the supernatural genre. It's funny and smart, and quite dark and intense at times.

I've been watching Being Human ::cough-online-cough:: and it really is brilliant. Exactly like you described, and they've done such a good job with it.

I, too, have been watching it via the, er, magic of the internet. :D I've been on pins and needles waiting for the finale to air on Sunday. EEEEE! And have you heard? BBC Three has recommissioned it for a second series. They've put in an order for eight episodes!

I checked it out this weekend.
Thank you for mentioning it. It's been a long time since I have seen an intelligent show based on the supernatural.
