I thought there'd be something else too—either an actual vampire or some vamped-out rat. Maybe the French girl had convinced the girl to be friends.

"Two and three and five too heavy for you? No problem! Here at PRIME MOVERS we take care of all your prime-moving needs!"

Heh.

And she invites the kid inside the blanket, meaning it *was* cold, but he also leaves the sliding glass door *open* (meaning all the cold will go inside the house). No clue why she was out there in the first place, save to cry in peace, without worrying her son.

Nice—and the concealed weapon too. (With the old man also using a real thing as a mask: his concentration-camp past.)

That sounds like the mother dies!

In a perverse turn of events, GRRM has now been hired to do a rewrite of _Ant-Man_.

I think I vary in how passive or active a watcher I am. If a show gives signs of handholding or spoonfeeding, I become less alert, since stuff is going to get spelled out in the scene right *after* the subtle one with subtext. Conversely, if a show telegraphs that it's going to be oblique, then I get eagle-eyed (and…

I appreciated that the vampirism symptoms didn't *all* act in the same direction—they didn't (all) make him confident and cool and alpha, like Jack Nicholson in _Wolf_, or alternately (all) serve to emasculate him in some facile ironic way. He was in it for the pussy; he lost his penis. He was in it for the fame, too,…

I loved _Snowpiercer_ but _The Zero Theorem_ was a slog for me. So many affectations, and not backed up by any sort of emotional weight or anything substantive like that. Just tics and tics.

It's hard to conjure up a better option. Not EVERY movie can start with throat-clearing preambles about how THESE vampire rules are different from the ones everyone knows. That can get annoying.

::Walder Frey crooks you off the stage::

Eph Goodweather, the ex-husband. _House of Wigs_. I fear that the show might go normative about fixing a "broken" home.

I'd definitely watch that.

I saw him in _Midnight in Paris_ but didn't register him at the time—only retroactively.

Honestly if I hadn't seen the actor on _House of Cards_ I would never have guessed it was a wig.

The vamps won't turn Sean Astin until they have conquered the city and the show has only a few minutes left.

"Is it safe?"

Maybe it's a actually a vaudeville hook in case anyone tells a too-corny joke :)

I wonder if it's true or just a myth that shows need a neutral person at their center. (In ensemble shows, the protagonist rarely is allowed to have flair.)
