The Lost Boys 2

I've been away at a convention for my dog. But in the meantime, I took in the Lost Boys double feature.

The first one? Classic, total classic. I loved how it seemed to make up the rules as it went along - like, vampires don't show up as vampires if you invite them into your house. Then again, the movie really was making up the rules as it went along. More to love.

But what's to love about Lost Boys 2?

Not a whole lot. The plot is that Michael and the girl (Star? Skylar? Whatver) had kids, then died in a car accident. (Uh huh). So one of their kids retires from being a surfer and they go to... yeah, that same vampire infested town.

(One cool thing - watch for the cameo of the shirtless long-haired saxophone dude from Lost Boys 1. That's the only subtle homage I saw).

Yeah, it's not so good. Keifer's brother - seriously - is the bad guy vampire, and he has half the intensity and, like, whoo... none of the acting ability. Like, we're talking cue cards, here. And that was the fun of Lost Boys 1! The bad guys.

The other bad guys are called "The Tribe," and, well... yeah. Not very interesting. One of them makes some seriously awkward Big Lebowski references, which is admirable but not impressive.

I guess you could say that about the whole film. The coolest parts are the deleted alternate endings and a small scene during the credits. And it really ain't worth waiting for them.

*sigh*. I guess I'm just depressed about the Toledo game. Which I may write about later. Or, you know, not.

Crap. Talk about the damn Lost Boys.
