[Blue Kitty]

This kind of vampire romance I can get behind.  I really want to see this film

As you might expect, the remake's already in the works. I can't remember who has the rights, but I seem to recall it wasn't someone abjectly terrible. Still, the remake's said to push the "bullied kid" angle a lot harder than the original. It's to take place in Littleton, home of Columbine high school.

[Inlander]

I saw it at the Melbourne International Film Festival this year. It was disappointing and occasionally bizarre, but not in a good way.

Good film if you want a fairly gratuitous close-up of a prepubescent girl's crotch, though.

From what I've read it's Matt Reeves, the director of Cloverfield who is attached to direct, although I may have read that on Wikipedia, so, you know.

I want to see it.

^Not why I want to see.
 

[ampersandwitch]

Welp, why didn't you say so?

[Telea-Rose]

Theory question.  Are vamps suppose to be able to have kids in this or was she turned early?  Just curious since, mythological theory is a tiny hobby of mine.  If theories aren't thought out well I tend to hate the stories.  Though, if it is good the synopsis isn't doing it justice on the web site.  It makes it sound like an 'A' typical 'good vamp' story.

[KvP]

As far as I know, the origins of the girl in the movie aren't meaningfully explored.

[Inlander]

The little girl's a vampire, her dad (at least we assume it's her dad) isn't. Her dad looks after her and she stays at home. How she became a vampire is never explained.

These statements apply to the film only; I haven't read the book.

Oh, I remembered something else important about this movie.

The little boy in it has the worst hair-style in the history of cinema:

[Ballard]

You were saying?

This looks pretty good; I suppose I'll go and judge for myself.

Why is Hollywood remaking a movie that hasn't even come out yet? Sad as fuck industry..

[David_Dovey]

Hey if the "original" is unexpectedly delayed from release and the "remake" comes out first does that make the "remake" the "original" and the "original" the "remake"

[Chesire Cat]

Some sort of race Back, to the Future?

[Joseph]

It has come out.  It's been out for a couple weeks.  My roommate saw it the other day, and has said it's excellent.  I'm quite looking forward to seeing it in the near future.  Unfortunately, the only place where it's playing here right now has it with French subtitles, and my French isn't in such good shape, though I should be able to follow well enough.

[Telea-Rose]

I thought it was in English. The adds I could have sworn were all in english. Or is it spoken in french with french subs there too?

[Scarychips]

From what I've heard, it's in swedish.

[Joseph]

Definitely in Swedish.

[Inlander]

Swedish is related to English, though.

[Chesire Cat]

So this movie isnt called Twilight?

[Telea-Rose]

Definitely in Swedish.

I think I'll be skipping it considering the whole in swedish thing.  American vamp movies tend not to pop out at you, but I don't trust any other countries not to.  I watched the orphanage earlier this semester and was kinda grumpy afterwards.  The whole set the mood thing was done impeccably and then that stupid kid popped out! Gah!  Freakin myself out just thinking about it.

So this movie isnt called Twilight?

Thus, why Twilight isn't mentioned yet.  I'm sorry, but Twilight is no where near the best vampire book ever writen and I think a little less hype would be nice.  It's like if some celeb found QC and you had thousand's mob this place, telling you about how Jeph grew up with them.  *shudders* Don't get me wrong Twilight isn't the worst vamp novel ever, but its comparing a five year old's rendition of Violets are Blue to some of the old arabic poetry.

[Joseph]

Telea-Rose.  You won't see it because it is in Swedish?  You don't think American horror type movies use the pop-out at you scare technique?  I have to say, this isn't making me think highly of your observational skills or your taste in movies.

[Telea-Rose]

American horror movies don't use nearly as good of set-ups to the pop out.  The only American that has freaked me out with movies is M. Night Shyamalan.  All the other American horror films I've seen have been boring.  I'm just really not very interested in Horror movies anyway.  They either scare me, which I can get easily by visiting with my one brother; or they bore me.  And its not just that it's semi-horror.  It's also cause I'm lazy, cheap, and have enough things to rant about sucking.  Plus, I'm more in the mood for weres.

[Ballard]

I'm not really saying anything.

[Joseph]

I can't be arsed to read subtitles.

[Scarychips]

I think M. Night Shyamalan movies are scary.

[Chesire Cat]

Plus, I'm more in the mood for furries.

[Telea-Rose]

I can't be arsed to read subtitles.

Actually I like subtitles.  They're very useful and are generally on when I watch things.

I think M. Night Shyamalan movies are scary.

Way to state the obvious, dumbass.

[Dazed]

The only American that has freaked me out with movies is M. Night Shyamalan.

The only scary thing about M. Night's movies is that somewhere, someone is stupid enough to keep pouring money into them.

[Inlander]

I've got a new game for everyone to play. It's fun, I think you'll like it.

It's called "stop picking on the new kid."

[Dimmukane]

I like M. Night Shyamalan movies.

[Chesire Cat]

I generally agree, new people rock, but I couldnt help it at the time. 

[Inlander]

I like M. Night Shyamalan movies.

I'll see you in court.

[Dazed]

I'll see you at the slumber party. I will bring the M. Night Shyamalan movies..

[Siibillam-Law]

Lol I'm asking for it lol butts lol

Uhmm, back to the topic?
Hah, "there was a topic?"

(Don't pick on me! I'm not that new!)

*runs off screaming like a girl*

[Gridgm]

*runs off screaming like a girl*

...a prepubescent one whose crotch is showing...

[Ballard]

Harry, I don't think that's fair.

I have nothing against new posters, I just think that this one wasn't making a very good point in this particular thread.

It's not as if we're bombarding her with furry porn and making her feel like a worthless human being.

[Chesire Cat]

It's not as if we're bombarding her with furry porn and making her feel like a worthless human being.

Well in that case.

every single one of you is doing it wrong

[Inlander]

Respectfully, I disagree. While to old hands like you or me having four people in a row quote you to "humourous" effect can seem silly or teasing at worst, to someone who's new to the forum and who might not yet understand the dynamic and memes/traditions of this place it could easily come off as intimidating, aggressive and hostile.

Imagine the following non-internet scenario: you're hanging out with a bunch of people you've known for ages. You say something the group regards as a bit stupid. One of your friends says "Nice one, idiot."  Everyone laugha and you cop it sweet because you've known all these people for so long that you know none of them actually think you're an idiot, and hey, next time it'll probably be someone else's turn to be the butt of the joke.

Now, imagine a similar situation, except this time you're the new person, and you're hanging out with a group of people, all of whom have known each other for ages. You don't really know any of them, they don't really know you. Maybe it's a party, and you're trying to mingle and meet new people. You say something stupid. One of the people says "Nice one, idiot." The others all laugh.

Can you see the difference between those two situations?

[Ballard]

Yeah, I see what you mean. I'll try and keep that in mind in the future. It's easy to misdirect or misinterpret things online because of the lack of expression.

[Inlander]

(P.S.: Telea-Rose, please don't read my hypothetical situations above and think I'm implying you "said something stupid". I was just making up an example off the top of my head.)

[Telea-Rose]

I really don't mind because I know that the post that caused this wouldn't sound interesting or beneficial to some people.  I'm into critiquing and talking about different techniques in movies.  I think if they were into that they would have gotten a bit more of how that was actually a convo starter.  I was also just trying to reword that I wasn't ignoring the movie all together just because of sub tittles since, I do like them.

*edit* That's not to say I don't like you sticking up for me! It is always nice to have a little backing when you're new to a group.

[Joseph]

But yeah.  To my knowledge, this movie isn't supposed to be super scary.  Apparently the trailer has played up the spooky part of it a lot in order to try and sell it as a horror film.  So don't expect to be super freaked out if you go!

[Gridgm]

really?...damn

[Inlander]

Yeah, the film's not scary. It is occasionally horrifying, but that's not the same thing. Mainly it's about a little boy who's in love with a little girl. That the little girl chooses to reciprocate this affection by dismembering people is, shall we say, a "quirk".

[Siibillam-Law]

Sounds good so far

I like the style of it. "occasionally horrifying". Kind of reminds me when I watched Tale of Two Sisters, which wasn't really scary, but it sort of was, if you know what I mean
