At least according to one reviewer. He's uptight. I am so jazzed for this flick "30 Days Of Night". It's based on a comic book about an Alaskan town that has night for a month and some vampires (quite brilliantly) realize, hey, what a perfect place to obtain some hemoglobin! Yeah, so I like cheesy horror flicks. I'm not up in the Florida suburbs telling people I'm a vampire and offing my girlfriend's parents and looking to drink blood out in the woods at a makeshift altar. I'm a geek, but even we have our limits. I'm not thinking I'm Modread, Duke of Darkness And Limpdickery or anything.
Yet while the flick is a huge cut above most of the gore fests passing themselves off as scary movies today, the premise and its repetitive gimmicks gradually grow as monotonous as, well, 30 days of night.You can only see so many snarling hissy fits by vampires with perpetually bloody chins before they start looking less like monsters and more like ill-tempered circus clowns whose makeup is running.
No, you can't! You can watch vampires run around and off people, and humans fight back for hours! That shit is boss! Here's some pics of the premiere. I don't get why Josh Hartnett gets so much trim, unless he's learned hypnosis or has some sort of firearm. And there was more than the usual pack of weirdos at this one. Bai Ling is such a neo maxie zoon dweebie. And Melissa George is in the movie and taking the goth thing a little too far. I know you were plain on "Alias' but let's not have the pendulum swinging out the damn window and crashing onto the street below, Dita.
More photos (Josh Hartnett, Bai Ling, Melissa George, Helena Christensen, Sam Raimi, Lucy Lawless) from the Los Angeles Premiere of '30 Days of Night' at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood after the jump.

Where does the phrase "Neo Maxie Zoom Dweebie" come from...it's driving me mental that I can't remember!
silvarga says:
OK OK. Melissa George may be overdressed for such a B-list movie. But I think you may have missed the TRUE fug here. I mean, WHAT THE F*CK kind of "Heather Has Two SOCCER Mommies and They're Both Stuck in the 80's" outfit is Lucy Lawless wearing?
She's worn pantsuits on Battlestar Galactica so it's not like she doesn't know good from bad. TEAL SLACKS with PLEATS? What is with that tie? Is this supposed to be some kind of homage to Chastity Bono? Is she moonlighting later as the bongo player in an all-lesbian Miami Sound Machine cover band?

as an aside, totes can't wait for this movie.
"they're using her as bait"
blah says:
Can someone tell me what in the sam hell happened to Helena Christensen? What happened to the boy-undie wearing, frolicking, making-out with Chris Issac, sand getting in the darndest places Helena? That chick was beautiful; this one looks like her face is melting at an uneven rate.

Ok, Love Lucy, but what the hell is she wearing? Do they not have fashion in New Zeland? And Bai Ling? I think that's the most clothes I've ever seen her wear anywhere near a red carpet. But...Helena, oy, this was a model at one time? That's like a walking advert for sun screen and anti wrinkle cream.

Love Lucy, hate that outfit.
