I hate you Veronica Mars

Where do people go to download TV? I just watched the second series finale of Veronica Mars (No spoilers here Australian readers) on DVD and am desperate to get into the third series. I hate how this show hypnotises me. It's what I imagine Buffy the Vampire Slayer would have been like if she wasn't actually a vampire slayer and was instead a private detective. Or maybe Buffy could have been a private detective AND a vampire slayer. Although that would totally reduce the amount of time she'd be able to spend spying on people in her car and macking on hot Italian policemen (below). *sigh*

...wait, what?

Nevermind.

So, yeah. There's still about 7 episodes left of the second season that's airing at the moment and I can't wait that long to get into the third season (and that's if Channel 10 just get straight into it like when season 1 ended). So, yeah, if anyone comments, don't say anything about the second season finale. It'll ruin it for us lowly Australians who have to wait yet again. We're accustomed to it though. I really wanna find out what Cordelia Kendell is up to.


BTW, how fucked up is it that Kristen Bell has never been nominated for an Emmy or even a Golden Globe (how they love their bright young debutants). Like... huh? Possibly the best performance on television this decade and she gets nada except for some Satellite nominations. If I were her (if I were her!) I'd feel royally ripped off. I suppose they're too busy oohing and aahing over someone like Patricia Arquette who just mumbles and staggers around in a daze on Medium? Yeah... that's it...

I hope Logan isn't such a dick in the next series. It really grates on my nerves. And I love that all the characters on Veronica Mars have pages on Wikipedia. "Veronica Mars is the fictional lead character on The CW television series, Veronica Mars, which debuted on UPN during the fall 2004 season. She is portrayed by Kristen Bell." teehee. And even though it doesn't look a thing like Veronica Mars, how awesome is the poster below! I just wish that, ya know, Veronica didn't look like Clea DuVall or someone.



And, yes Ja, Kristen could indeed turn a blind gay man straight. Or, at least something akin to "bisexual". God, she's hot.

Love Song For a [Sexy] Vampire

This is part of the Vampire blog-a-thon. Created and monitored by that undead soul that is Nathaniel over at The Film Experience



Vampires: I don't really like them outside of Buffy and a couple of movies. But there's one issue about them that always piques my interest. Hot people! Sexy or Not. That's the constant debate when it comes to vampires and vampire movies. In some movies they are horrible disgusting creatures that want to suck your blood in the most unsavoury of manners. And then there are those movies that feature vampires that want to suck your blood in the most unsavoury of manners, but who are also hotter than a vampire at midday in summer. So I thought for my entry into the Vampire blog-a-thon that I would count down the five sexiest vampires. The ones that you would have a difficult task of actually running away from.

**Please note, Brad Pitt does not appear on hear. I don't particularly care for him in general, let alone in Interview with the Actor where he was about a sexy as a barbequed rat**

5. Kate Beckinsale as "Selene" in Underworld

Fact. I sorta hate Kate Beckinsale. I just really dislike her. I don't get her purpose in the world. And then to go on and say that Underworld is quite possibly the worst horror movie I've ever seen at the cinema, it must be confusing as to why she's on here. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure that if I were a hetersexual 16-year-old male, the sight of Kate running around in way-too-tight-for-an-action-movie vinyl suit would probably be the equivelent of the moon landing in terms of viewer gawking. Even I admit that she was the best looking thing in the movie (Scott Speedman unfortunately played a strung out werewolf).

4. Gerard Butler as "Dracula" and Jeri Ryan, Jennifer Esposity & Colleen Fitzpatrick as Dracula's brides in Dracula 2000

The movie was a dud, but the window dressing sure was fine. Dracula's a lucky man and I think we all know that Gerard Butler is a sexy bitch. I'd let Gerard attack my neck any time he liked.

3. Stephen Dorff as "Deacon Frost" in Blade

Okay, so there's one scene in Blade that has Dorff's character of Deacon being quite naked. Well, shirtless at least, but I think there was more nekkidness. Either way, there's is plenty of evidence out there that he looks damn fine without a shirt on. It helps that Blade was better than a lot of other movies in this vein. I mean, Stephen Dorff ain't no class actor. I highly doubt he'll ever win an Oscar, but if he's willing to remove clothes in as many movies as possible, then his career will be long and prosperous.

2. David Boreanaz as "Angel" in Buffy the Vampire Slayer

Okay, so I'm cheating by including the television serious, but not only was Angel a hottie (Buffy's only good catch on the series) but he was a major S.N.A.G. I mean, sure, he's a vampire so he can't go out in the daylight, and sure, when Angel and Buffy had sex that one time he turned into an evil vampire again, but for a while there he was really nice! I mean, he did have a soul afterall. David's become a bit too creepy these days (he's nearly 40. time he started to look his age), but back in the heady days of '97 and '98 he was major spunk material.

1. Salma Hayek as "Santanico Pandemonium" in From Dusk Till Dawn
Salma. Bikini. Albino Python. Fangs. One of my favourite vampire movies. That is all.
