Right now I'm typing on a borrowed computer , while suffering a bit of cabin fever, confined in the perimeter of Palm Cove during what could be the most boring Christmas vacation ever .
A couple of things saved me from suicide of the mind... the fab 42 inch flatscreen/home theater combo (thanks Santa) and Mariah's yearly reminder that in fact I will watch all vampire films/ series ever created. Thanks my friend. I really loved this piece of the BBC, and in other circumstances I would write a through, insightful review, but I need to entertain myself... so here it is, a brief trivial list on HOW MUCH I LOVE ULTRAVIOLET
- Emotional relationships with vampires, are almost by canon, doomed to fail miserably. Usually the relationship is romantic, either straight or gay. ULTRAVIOLET brings about the coolest BROMANCE ever, and congratulations to the male subjects of each species, somehow, bromance just survives, almost unscathed...
- The Spanish Inquisition never made much sense, the British Inquisition, however...being as composed as they are, will manage to successfully combine government bureaucracy and religious fervor, kinda the X-Files with holy license to kill. For once, even if I don't like the Inquisition, this series made me root for the Grand Inquisitor, more than once. I just loved the cool marriage of stream data and faith. As much as it hurt this happy vamp camper, 98% of the decisions toward extermination were right on the spot.
- The other 2%, though, bothered me enough to get me thinking. Of course it is fiction, but it is the scariest fiction I've seen in a while. A simple question: How far would you go to protect someone you love? If someone told you that the guy who has in his hands the opportunity to eradicate AIDS, CANCER, and all frigging blood borne patogens in the world is a guy on the top ten terrorist list of all time... would you negotiate or take him down on the spot? As I told you, I have cabin fever...
Ohhhhhhhhhh... the trivial list, yep, the cool stuff...
- You will never get over your BFF being a vampire, and you know it, because you love that man... here to chicks and pints, mate!!!
- If you have more than $58,000 pounds in the bank the British government might think you are a vampire.
- When it comes to hunt for pedophiles, and your choices are a priest and a vampire... go after the priest, even if the vampire seems reasonable, it will shorten your investigation.
- Man Bangs rocked ten years ago, in fact they did look hot, but it's time to let go, Mr. Moyer, you might have played a vampire twice, but time alone says you are not immortal.
- Hurray for the vamps who run against time to produce artificial blood!!! Thanks to your clever investment in worldwide research, we got TRUE BLOOD.
Gotta go now... the quote:
