Moonlight

[botias]

I watched the first two eps of Moonlight last night. It is Bad, make no mistake. The acting can be very awkward, as is the show's use of devices that I didn't even notice were devices on other shows. Their villains have an edge-crush test rating and their rendition of the flappy coat somehow manages to say 'Marilyn Monroe' rather than 'romantic anti-hero'. Since the anti-hero is wearing jeans instead of silk thigh highs, there's really no win. They fail at pretty much everything, except at making me excited to watch the next episode.

I don't get it, but I don't really care :D Maybe they have subliminal messages like: "He just needs the love of a good woman" or "Vamp shlongs are bigger". Oh, and Jason Dohring as an amoral vampire type, amen. I would watch just for that, I love his evil.

Hee. Yes, that's where I know Jason from, and I'm sure I'll be taking the same shortcut as you. ;)

It's funny cuz he's not my usual idea of attractive, his jawline's kinda soft yadda, yadda. But those eyes--they speak right to my inner cavewoman or something. *whew*

I hope his Moonlight character has the same heroic streak.
