"Masterworks in the medium of unresolved sexual tension." Thank you. In fact, I always find myself quite puzzled whenever (which is often) I hear people talk about the asexuality of Lestatverse vampires. They are not asexual. They can't have sex, there's a difference. They pass an awful lot of time gossiping about it,…

Lovely, yes. Especially when she sends lawyers after fanfiction writers.

Esther! Your articles are always a pleasure to read ^^ Actually, I think I have the topic of the next one: Franz-Anton Mesmer (1734-1815), magnetman extraordinaire (and successful charlatan)

Fret not. Still not as sad as the fact that most people know Victor Hugo's "Les Misérables" novel as a Broadway musical and insist on calling it "Lemmiz".

To be honest, at first I thought it was a rotten prune. Mold is pretty. (In my book, small + furry = cute, with the exception of all things spider. I'm helpless)

Trop fastoche ! You just need an auxiliary verb (mostly "to have") and a past participle.

So.

May I recommend you the excellent - and very funny - review by one of the Nostalgia Critic team from ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com?

Question 1: being an obligatory user of bus, tramway and subway daily, am I risk at triple risk?

You win, and that'll be my cue to rewatch the X-Files entire series. See you in a few days!

Don't you ever feel like you've seen too much of it, though?

Oh Gawd, ha! I had forgotten! Well, I remember an X-Files episode with two Polidoris. "The Post-Modern Prometheus". A MotW named the "Great Mutato"...

Suddenly wondering whether there are abstinent Scots. Are there?

This is part of what I love most about Stoker's take on the myth, because his Dracula is a vicious predator and a deeply unsettling presence. I especially like Jonathan Harker's first encounter with the Count is far from establishing him as a mesmerising romantic: he's physically ugly, hairy (including the palms of…

Obscurus Lupa from [ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com] did a review of Z-grade flick "Super Christian" (actual title.)

*These* days? I demand to know!

If I recall properly, the first real vampire in European literature was John Polidori's (aptly named) "The Vampyre", a short story published in 1819, which features a young, impressionable Englishman named Aubrey whom dear dull Johnny Harker reminds me of alot, and his suave but evil mentor Lord Ruthven; all…

Haha! Because of you, I had to rewatch at least a part of last episode - for nothing, actually, because Prince Eric's parents were offed Lady Di-style in New York City. Yep. New York. On "9G" according to random newspaper headlines that got flashed in my eyes prior to Eric's reminiscence of the Three Coins Problem…

Not so sure about that. I mean, my own German is a tad rusty, but knowing US televised shows' ability at foreign languages (British English included) I do tend to think the German subtitlers will have some work to do.

... Which sort of makes me fantasise a bit about an American TV-show with lore from French origin.
