Today... I pretty much wanted to die. I say this because my head feels like it's going to explode. And most of the pressure is on the bridge of my nose -- exactly where my glasses sit. Yay.
But anyway... werewolves.I watched An American Werewolf In London with my mom today. It was... interesting. Here are my initial reactions:
- The preppy dead couple were creepy. Not because they were covered in blood, but because they were so... happy about their deadness. It was weird.
- I'm totally more of a vampire person.
- The end was funny. Let's show the body of the dead guy and then cut to black with a peppy song. Much better than some ending where the nurse can't get over what happened.
- Was there an actual point to the murderous mutant commandoes from David's dream?
Because this movie had a fairly well realized werewolf for the time, I thought I'd list some of my favorites:
- The Twilight Saga - They're not actual werewolves, but they're awesome in their wolfishness.
- Van Helsing - You know, the one with Hugh Jackman. These wolves are properly furry, even if they're rubbish on four legs.
- An American Werewolf In London - Probably won't watch this again, but at least the wolf didn't look like a naked mole rat.
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - Remus Lupin's transformed state looks like a long-limbed naked mole rat. It's apparently quite easy to tell a werewolf from a real wolf in that universe.
- Underworld - Again with the naked mole-rat syndrome. I understand they wanted something they could have a person run around in. However, the wolves they've got running around the apartment complex do NOT match what they've later got - clearly a man in a rubber suit that looks like a black naked mole rat.
- Buffy: The Vampire Slayer - They look like people in Gorilla suits for the most part. I think there's one of them who's actually wolf-like in the face, but the rest of them are absolute pants.
Love ya, Jessie.
