What's a better vampire miniseries: Ultraviolet or Kindred?
Both, for entirely different reasons.
Ultraviolet is coolly atmospheric and grim where Kindred is frothy and romantic. Both have great characters and make fun contributions to the vampire genre.
If I had to say which I'd rather own, I'd say Kindred. I loved Mark Frankel and the series feels very 'Buffy' to me.
argh can't concentrate!
Wheeeee!!
Ultraviolet. Kindred is kinda cheesy campy.
Oh, and I forgot to wish Em a happy 6th birthday!
Kindred is kinda cheesy campy.
EXACTLY. That's what I love about it.
Also, Ultraviolet features a very young 'Vampire Bill'...Stephen Moyers plays a different kind of vampire here and, honestly, I think it's a much more compelling character than he plays in True Blood.
"No more rehearsing and nursing a part..."
[Alert: this is a sound file for those of you playing along at work.]
Happy 6th Birthday Em!
According to Dick Morris, the 2012 Republican primary will be mostly decided on Fox News in an American Idol sort of way. I think he's mostly right, but should also point out that many potential candidates are under contract with Fox News as well.
"The early rounds of primaries, long dominated by Iowa and New Hampshire, will become less important, overshadowed by the Fox News narrative, Morris said."
It's as creepy as a man breaking into his girlfriend's house to watch her sleep all night, but I think there's a great idea hidden there. Let's drop the pretense and have a reality show on Fox: "American President" that will decide the Republican nominee. The audience can vote with money and the person with the least money is eliminated from the next round.

Ultraviolet by a long shot.
Happy birthday, Em!
Sparky, I'd love to meet up with you and the family as well.

That's terrifying, Gud. I hope there aren't any Fox execs lurking on this board.
