It was an interesting spin on the unknown. I thought they were an offshoot from Predators at first. Interesting how the family hunted.

 

The "Bombing of Pan Am Flight 103" on Netflix was done well. Depicted how messed up the inter-agency and inter-country efforts were back then with all the egos and firewalls. Albeit, I wanted to turn on closed captions to understand much of the Scottish accents but my Lady hates any writing on the screen so I missed much of what they were saying at times.

 

I always watch CC during a movie.

 

I saw a statistic that said (as a surprise to me) something like 60-70% of TV watchers use closed captions, weighted heavily with younger adult viewers. So that means you're in with the In-Crowd.

 

I started doing it way back so I could watch, and still play the guitar.

 

I thought you were going to say - watch and chew gum or chaw.

 

Just watched for first time John Carpenter's "Vampires" from 1998 with James Wood. Pretty cool - interesting take on the eradication process. Also liked "30 Days of Night" from 2006 based in Barrow Alaska where the menacing vampires only appear 30 days each year during the 24 hours of darkness period. Must be my Romanian roots.

 

I own both movies

 

For some reason two moments stick in my mind from "30 Days of Night". I got a kick out of the one vamp looking at his friend after realizing it stays dark for a month and saying, "we should have come here sooner" and the record player where he uses his fingernail as the needle to play it. (And he didn't need a coin on the arm to make it work)

 

If You notice both of the Master Vampires in both of those movies were bigger stars in other movies
