Re: Eli and Duncan MacLeod
You must be trippin', because Claudia is weak. For real. I mean, hell, they captured her and had her burnt alive...if Eli had been in the same place, she could have flown up and out (though admittedly they'd have found a cell that would have taken her abilities into account). Eli, for certain. And w...

Re: Eli and Duncan MacLeod
Sorry to say, but Mcleod and Predator would win. Everyone knows that one Preddy can take down dozens of puny aliens. Silly Alien vs. Pred films had to make the Aliens a threat, but let's be real. Predators are devastators. And as much as I love ol' Eli, Dunc's got a katana that can hack through conc...

Re: To Receive a Kiss
I thought it was touching, and Sauvin's long expo up there says a lot. I like the milestone comment: their relationship, imo, was mostly settled, but with the witnessing of Lacke's death/taking part in it, Eli and Oskar are bound, and sealed with a kiss--a kiss of blood, the blood of the man whose d...

Re: Using LTROI as an escape from our real lives
Who can tell you whether true love exists or not? Nothing in this world is more subjective than love, and to try to define it is folly. I know from and for my own context it exists, for I have felt it once in my life. I feel lucky to have felt this way, and that is why I watch this movie and read th...

Re: Using LTROI as an escape from our real lives
Lambda, he understood you just fine. Read it again: he is saying that you know that the world isn't all happy and nice, and those who think that it is are the ones escaping from reality. Because of of the authenticity of LTROI, you are escaping to the reality of what it has to offer. In fact, he is ...

Re: saw this at last.
Man, people just be hatin' on ol LMI, but I don't see why. I have to agree with David Zahir. Not only that, but I think that the movie's title says it all. To me there are a few pivot points this movie revolves around that change it drastically. The first is simply the title. Let Me In. Says it all ...

Re: saw this at last.
I thought it was great, actually. It was a subdued horror film for me, in that it was more about the horror of what Abby does for a living (parasitic in the truest sense), whereas Oskar and Eli was more the horror of being alone, and what being a vampire would do to one if one were a child. For me t...

Re: The bullies don't get turned... right?
Well, we hear the window shattering, and maybe the kid gave permission, but he was still sitting over there on the bleachers, nowhere near any sort of window or door. I assumed she just busted in, blood bath be damned, as per my description in the above post. Really no proof either way, and the movi...

Re: The bullies don't get turned... right?
The whole "invite me in" thing can be explained away, if one is willing to believe in the director ;) If you watch the scene when it happens between Oskar and Eli, it actually takes about half a minute for it to really kick in. It doesn't even seem painful for the first twenty seconds or so, and the...

Re: I figured out...
Obviously, Sauvin :) That's what I was interested in hearing, how it affected others, not necessarily whether they agreed with me or not; I mean, if they do, great! But I also think there is much more to it. Sometimes hearing how something effects others opens the door to our own realizations. My in...
