Mmmmm spooky lycanthrope chicks

Ginger Snaps 2 (Unleashed) was every bit as good as it's predecessor. It was good in different ways, and proof that it's possible to make a sequel that doesn't suck. I don't know if the third film (a prequel) will be any good at all, I don't like the premise, but I will probably see it to be sure.

Ginger Snaps 2 was very moody, bleaker than the first movie, like diving into a dry pool and being fascinated with the details in the scummy pool floor as it rushes towards your face. Emily Perkins is fascinating to watch. I keep getting flashes of Eliza Dusku in her character, which plays no small part in my fascination. As always, the werewolves look fairly cheesy, but I have yet to see a good representation of a werewolf in a movie. They always look ridiculous. You'd think that could be fixed with a good CGI model, but so far no dice. The ending of the film was a bit of a surprise, but filled me with real sorrow.

Now that my good film quotient has been filled with today, I will be finally get to see a movie that causes wails of anguish and much hair pulling every time I mention it. In a few days, I'll get to know their pain as I finally watch... Anaconda!

Who’s house? OUR house!

It looks like I have a new place.
It looks like I have a new roommate.

Tomorrow I will add more details, and talk about an old Irish friend/IRA runner, and how cool Willem DaFoe is.

Tonight, I will say but this.

When you meet someone, and they ask how you're doing, and you say sweaty, and they pat you down to make sure you're telling the truth?

That is one cool person.
