Everyone's Gone to the Movies

Watched Near Dark this afternoon for the first time. It's not bad. Pretty stylish but not what I would call scary. Most of it follows traditional vampire lore - except for the part about blood transfusions making you human again. And Adrian Pasdar's becoming a vampire about thirty seconds after being bitten. I guess they wanted to make sure the movie didn't run too long.

It was also fun to see this guy get kicked around in a bar, something he sort of built a career on.

Best bit of dialog:

Caleb: How old are you?
Jess: (with a wry smile) I fought for the south.
Caleb: The south?
Jess: We lost.
