i didint realy like the first one but hey that chicks is prety hot so il go see this one to :1orglaugh
Yummy...unlike many I loved the first one and eagerly await the second. Though images do that woman no justice...she is a true vision in the flesh.
I was pissed that their was an intellectual property dispute over the original though...as much as I can see why the Vampire: The Masqurade owners would be pissed it can easily be argued they "stole" just as much from well known mythology and books long in print.
Too much of their ideas they bitched over are simply standard cliche's from other genres with fangs (like the whole vampire council sillyness and clans...real original there guys...). Glad to see the series is heading to a 2nd and I think 3rd film also.
Loved the DVD's for the fist one.
I'm more pisse dhow they ripped off Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Hell, it was a story written for Werewolf they ripp'd off...
Ah, well. This Glass Walker is sneering already, but will still watch it if only for the cool crinos forms.
In my opinion, vampires are okay-- but werewolves rule the night.
My issue with the owners of that RPG (who's hands it is in now anyway?) is that they never capitalized on the property...at some point you'll be beaten to the punch...Especially by Hollywood. The whole issue of who stole what always felt like their was a deal that feel through about who got what at the end of the day. The whole intellectual property aspect of it felt forced and a last ditch effort for a bigger cut.
Still White Wolf. I dunno. They DID copyright or whatever it, and did sue, but I agree: They shoulda brought out a movie first. The gae was big and cool and profitable enough!Quote:

Meant their Vampire: The Masqurade line...sorry for the confusion. Be thankful they left their other properties alone. The less said about "Kindred: The Embraced" the better. The most god awful episode had to be their strange The Vampire Lestat meets Jesus Christ Superstar one. Holy hell was that insane...Quote:

I don't suppose any Werewolves shown up, did they? In Kindred?
Honestly I don't remember but I doubt it. Stick to good werewolf stuff like Teen Wolf!Quote:

Everything else is just frosting and sprinkles.
Did somebody say Teen Wolf?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA...I forgot that scene. I gotta see that movie again.
Lets face it....I'll watch anything with Kate Beckensale wearing latex and shooting guns.
that movie was ridiculous. although the whole wherewolves meet vampires meet abbot and costello idea was pretty interesting the movie was filled with pointless shit. they could have easily cut an hour and a half from the movie that didn't have anything to do with forwarding the plot or even at least any gratuitous action/violence. and I hated the ending most of all, that was one of those movies that had a clear cut ending where everything is resolved and then they added some hokey ass five minute bullshit at the end to justify a sequel. although I guess I should be thankful for that since most movies just leave it resolved and then give no explanation on why the fuck the story is going on again until the next movie.
on that note sequels suck. there is no good movie that ever spawned more then 2 sequels and didn't end up sucking ass. and there's only a small handful of movies where even the second one was as good or better then the first.

Nearly fourteen hours straight through when we watched the entire set on the extended DVD set. No Problem :1orglaugh
