I was geared up to finally sit through "Vampires" last night. TV Guide channel showed that it was coming on sci fi, there was nothing else on so i figured, what the hell, why not?

So i put it on, and it wasnt "John Carpenter's Vampires", it was "John Carpenter's Vampires: Los Muertos" AKA "Straight to video bullshit"

I expected James woods, i got fucking John Bon Jovi....

Who is, btw, an even worse actor than he is a singer.

i thought it was awful in every sense...
a poor update on Assault on Precinct 13 ... that ran out of money before it began - proving once more as well, that ice cube cant carry a film.

Well, 99% of the people that saw "Ghosts of Mars," apparently, didn't like it. But the people who did like it, well, we're just smarter people overall. At least, that's the only way I can explain it. MUAH HA HA HA AHHHH

You know, I love that commentary, but in a warped kind of way, because Carpenter and Henstridge are fighting all the way through it, sometimes playfully, and sometimes not.

species was less bad with repeated viewings - as you learned not to expect decent performances from the normally briliant cast.

uninspired writing - terrible pacing -

which is a shame because it had all the elements of what could have been a super film ..

I hated how the monster could basically 9and literally) pull any weapon she needed out of her ass at the drop of a hat.

Also (this belongs in the howd that happen thred..) I love how the "best and brightest" earth has to offer recieves instructions on how to mix our dna with theirs to make a kid "Okay, dur, lets do it. it couldnt possibly make a super-creature hell bent on taking over our planet, durrrr."

I don't understand it at all...I get such a fine experience out of that movie...

...The closest I can figure is, the people who don't like it are after some kind of "meaningfulness" that the film is not interested in offering. It's a straight action film, about as amoral as an action film gets, so I suppose that's what confuses people. The way the story is laid out, there technically aren't any good guys or bad guys, just groups battling for survival.
