But... but... The TV sh-show... It was so bad.

Why didn't they learn?

My concern isn't quality. It's Sony.

Since WW sued Sony over Underworld (I still need to figure out how that went ... ), Sony will be watching any TV/Movie/Etc. deals that WW makes V-E-R-Y carefully.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Right... like the Nos named "Goth" wasn't a bad idea. Or the forced, and very badly acted, bonding between the two female characters over child rearing.

No, that show was a monstrocity.

You'll never know how the WW/Sony suit went. It dropped off the face of the earth which means they settled, which means it is sealed and no one will know about it.

I'd both figured (and feared) as much.

Ah, well.

I'll poke around and see if I can get some insider to squeal.

I really hope the execs at NLC discover Suicide as a franchise opportunity with a different star every fucking day.

ugh.

Look! The Nosferatu are ugly! You can tell because they're all BALD!

Kindred: The Embraced was bad because it was badly done, not that any such thing needs to be. Would you condemn all fantasy movies and TV series because of the D&D movie? Or, more specifically, would you condemn all Lord of the Rings media because of those old cartoons? (If you do, you're missing out on a great series of movies by Peter Jackson.)

Also, it was based off of Vampire: The Masquerade. Detractors statements about it being the same game aside, Vampire: The Requiem is looking like it'll be a much better, open-ended setting with fewer stereotypes. Much easier to make a movie out of, in other words.

Hey! Those Rankin-Bass Tolkien cartoons rocked!

he was really named "Goth" ? I don't remember that...

my recollection seems to only involve the fact that I rather liked the actor who played the prince (now, sadly deceased)... and there was something developing between him and a reporter...

the rest of it escapes me, so maybe time has just clouded my judgement...

It's true but there have been so few good vampires movies. Just so few. I can only think of two and one of them I get people disagreeing with me on the quality of it all the time. I'm not saying it couldn't happen. I'm just saying that the odds are against it as far as I can tell.

New Line are the people who could pull it off. I just don't know if they will.

Fright Night = best vampire movie EVER

Your memory isn't just clouded. No, it's stormclouded... with storms the size of the eye of jupiter. World swallowing storm clouds. It was bad. Just trust me on this.
