bad movie alert

I saw Underworld Monday night. I had moderate hopes, but they were dashed. Very dull, when the acting wasn't laughable, and very little I hadn't seen before. Beckinsale looks good in vinyl, but that's not enough to carry the film.



What's more, it seems the lawsuit White Wolf Publishing has brought against Sony has some merit. (NOTE: the link is laden with movie spoilers). Most of the 60 points of similarity in the suit are bunk, but there are at least two concepts (that memories are transmited through the blood of the biter, and the idea of elder vamps going into centuries-long dormancy periods until revived) that seem to be lifted from the RPGs.
