[fandom] werewolf movies

[escritoireazul]

I was looking forward to the Twilight movie for mocking and the recap I'm sure cleolinda will do, but there's this trailer playing on tv which I hadn't seen before, that has James making some sort of lion-like noise, and, um, there is suddenly another reason to go watch it. James, Laurent, and Victoria are hot, and James, with that hair (I have this thing for guys with hair like that, practically the only time I like blonds) and the animal sound and the movement - hot.

I need to watch Never Back Down. He doesn't have the hair in it, but he's ripped and tattooed and, yes please. Funny(ish) story, when I was visiting J. two weekends ago, he rented this movie because he wanted to watch the scene where one fighter does all these fancy kicks and flips and then gets knocked straight down by one hard punch. The movie we needed was NBD, the movie we got - was not.

Two movie things I've noted today.

One, in An American Werewolf in London, when the nurses are talking about David while he's unconscious, one says he looks like a Jew, and when asked, says she knows the look. I always thought she meant the hair; I'd never caught Alex's line about how it's common practice these days. Hee. Totally not the hair then.

Two, in Cursed, I love the scene where Jake and Ellie are talking about the decorations at his new club and he talks about the medieval torture device and then says it could be fun later, innuendo in his voice. How kinky there, Jake. I also really like the (not so subtle) foreshadowing when he says he just wants to crawl into bed and disappear for three days. SUBTLE.

I love this time of year. Werewolf movies all over my tv, horror in the air - it's a good time to be alive, even if I don't want to leave my apartment, even if I don't want to do anything. At least I have horror to keep myself busy. Werewolves.

On Halloween itself, I'll be waiting for J. and my dad to bring me a different vehicle. I don't have class, and I plan to clean, of course, but also to have a werewolf movie marathon. My copy of Cursed isn't here (I think it's in the one last box from this summer, which got sent to my parents' house, and Dad is bringing it Friday), but I have all three Ginger Snaps movies; the werewolf episodes of Buffy, Angel, and Supernatural; The Beast of Bray Road; Cursed from tv, so the rated version I've not seen since the theater; Darkwolf; The Howling; Sleepwalkers, though technically not werewolves; and, to really stretch it, The Village, which I prefer so much more when I pretend it is a werewolf movie. Plus whatever else I can dvr before then, and I have a ton of other horror movies, and maybe there's a Dresden Files werewolf episode, I should research that, since I still haven't watched the dvds I own.

This past weekend wasn't very relaxing, and this week isn't going to be relaxing, and so I'll be glad to have a break, finally.

You really should try to get ahold of Dog Soliders. Best damn werewolf movie EVER.

I LOVE Dog Soldiers. I was surprised they didn't play it during the Halloween werewolf season, but then I finally found it to dvr it this week. A little late, but whatever.

I first watched it by accident a few years ago, not realizing it was so good. I don't know why I haven't bought it on dvd yet. I'll have to remedy that.

I've even written a (short) fic for Yuletide a couple years ago.
