Well, I finally got around to reading The Gathering Storm by Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson. I borrowed it from the library. I probably should have re-read at least the previous book in the series to be reminded of all of...

thorgrym I am not sure if I feel that it is a better series than LoTR, but it is at least equal in my opinion. The writing style of Jordan is certainly more reader-friendly in some instances than that of Tolkien, though they both tended to be a bit on the overly...

thorgrym I was trying to refrain from posting a list so as not to implant thoughts into the minds of people that might participate in this discussion, but because you asked for it (just to name a few): Aerosmith Birdsongs of the Mesozoic Boston The...

thorgrym Aerosmith is definitely one of the top Boston-based bands.

thorgrym I watched Daybreakers the other night. Really good. Thanks for the reminder!

thorgrym I really want to see Daywalkers. I keep forgetting about it when I am looking for movies, though! That one and 30 Days of Night (which I remember to look for but can never find). Thanks for the reminder and reply!

thorgrym That's true, I hadn't really thought of the Shade as a vampire, but I suppose it fits. The movie did fairly well in the box office, so I doubt it will see a remake any time soon...if at all.

thorgrym Dracula is the king of all vampires! Thank you, Bram Stoker, for your classic novel. I got a kick out of Love at First Bite, as well. Funny movie! Thanks for the reply!

thorgrym Funny. I have a lot of time on my hands, but I just couldn't bring myself to watch Twilight. I really should go back and watch the first Blade movie. The third one is the only one that I saw and I wasn't too impressed. It wasn't horrible, just...

thorgrym Like you, my fascination for vampire movies has waned a bit. If you like the romance aspect of the Twilight series and like vampire movies at all, you might want to try to track down a copy of 'Dance of the Damned.' It wasn't a very big release and was likely...

thorgrym I don't know that there were any lessons to learn from Bram Stoker's Dracula, but I think you meant movies in general as some do have very good lessons. I think that they did an excellent job with Dracula. The casting was well done, though I think that Keanu...

thorgrym I do like a good vampire film, but I can't force myself to watch bad ones. Choosing a favorite is always a chore for me, as well. I tend to have a top 10 list and number one on the list is only there because I mentioned it first. The Lost...

thorgrym I loved the Underworld series, as well. The first one was fantastic and the other two, though suffering a bit from sequel-itis, were also very good. The only one of the Blade series that I saw was the third one. It is OK, but not great. It definitely seemed...

thorgrym I had not heard of Let The Right One In. I will have to check it out. Thanks for the tip! Even the commercials for Twilight turned my stomach. I really don't think that I could make it through the movie. Thanks for the reply!
