You mean "UR DOOMED."

It's kinda ridiculous but I'm fond of the urban Nawlins accent. Peters did a good job of it.

I am pretty goddamn old, and I used to see "freakshow" tents at county fairs and such. I only ever went into one, and there were no live acts—just things in jars. They were all fakes—constructs of wire and rubber and so forth—but there's one that I still have nightmares about.

I know the exact chain restaurant that last story is talking about. It is the most aptly named business in the history of business.

Joan Allen GOD YES.

Normally I would agree with this statement, but this clown has him some amazing eyes. Watch his eyes in his scenes. Also, that mess under the mouth-mask—WTF?! How does he eat? …Never mind, I'd rather not know.

That doesn't scan. Sing with me: "All my rowdy friends got Left Behind…"

I read the books, but I can't remember what you're referring to.

Are you kidding?! That was very nearly the best scene!

At the risk of spoiling/pissing off those who haven't read the book: There are more Alpha vamps than just the Master. Many of them prefer the status quo to the Master's world takeover plan.

To me it tastes like a weed. Not the good kind either.

I want to star this a million jillion times.

I have seen all of del Toro's movies except Blade II, and all of them are wonderful except for Pacific Rim and Mimic, and even those two weren't horrible and he long ago distanced himself from Mimic (blaming the studio, natch).

I finally caught this on Netflix Instant a couple of months ago and loved the shit out of it. If I'd known it was that good, I'd've put on some pants and gone to see it in the theater when it was released, to give it support. If you haven't seen it, it's absolutely terrific ultraviolent B-Movie goodness with…

I guess there's nothing for him to do now but move on back to squares.

The cover of a book, published in 1982:

I agree; but for other erudite, eloquent commentary (and articles) on diverse popular entertainment, try pajiba.com.

Or killed! I'd love to see him killed! Him and Nora and Zach and Nora's mom and that stupid, stupid "hacker chick" character!
Then we could just have The Abraham And Vasily Vampire-Killing Show With Gus Sometimes, and we would all watch it and it would be on the air for prolly fifteen years!

It was "Safe"—and you are right, it was one of the best episodes they've done. Lennie James is a fascinating actor.

I did indeed. BDT can still do no wrong, at least as far as I know. GDT is currently on double secret probation in House Jerce.
