I was a fan of the Anne Rice books until the movies ruined the stories for me.  The Lost Boys is certainly one of my big-screen guilty pleasures.  I’ve always been a big fan of Buffy, though I never followed Angel when he went to his own series.  But I never got into Twilight, either in print or on screen.

We got the movie on Netflix, but I couldn’t get through it without falling asleep.  Spinner has the book, trying to read it this summer to prove his affinity for masochism better bond with his 10-year-old charges, but I’ve got no interest.

But my otherwise pathetic Monday was made when Mikerzz posted this video.

Kill the boring vamp! Spike him Buffy, spike him now!

   I recommend “Let the Right One In” by John Aljvide Lindqvist for a good vampire tale. My partner just started “The Strain” by Guillermo del Toro and says it’s good so far, too.

   i agree chuck, lost boys was fantastic. and filmed at the santa cruz boardwalk (where i spent half my childhood) didn’t hurt!

   understand you were hoping for a roddick victory at wilbedon today. he came painfully close, eh? great match though.
