Vampires were never meant to be all sparkly and friendly and pretty. Worst thing that ever happened to the legend... Vampires are not your pals...

The Bloody Truth About Vampires

Vampires are fodder for books, movies, and Halloween costumes. But for hundreds of years, they were scapegoats for disease.

I am all about Cobra Kai! But I was a teenager when the fist one came out. Plus! Action action action oh ugly trees action!

For the few of you who have actually read this 1897 classic work, it was more than all the movies and books written since. Forever burned into my mind is the description of Dracula scaling the wall of his castle in the dark of night.

Was that the last Fast and the furious that had a blip of awesome trees in the background?

I stopped watching Cobra Kai two seasons ago. It had taken the "Everybody was Kung Fu fighting" thing too far. What had been a decent series--particularly with William Zabka and Ralph Macchio's performances and others, kind of got bogged down in teenage dumbassery.

To be fair, this last season focused more on the adults karate fighting each other and slightly less of the teens doing it. I thought it was a good season, but that's just me.

I don't think they're using Roy Nagatoshi's trees this time around.

Maybe not. But, even if they aren't his, they still use trees as props on the show that are pretty good (at least to this beginner's eye). I mean I'd take them if nobody else wanted them. Here's an example from Season 2.

At that exact moment I was working on a Juniper of mine in the living room.

She's a keeper!

The bonsai in Dune seemed ok, they were in the background, so it was hard to really tell.

I saw Dune on the big screen more than once and was probably paying more attention to the trees than whatever else was happening in those scenes on Caladan. They were legit nice trees.

Bless the Bonsai Maker and his watering can.
Bless the coming and going of his pruners.
May his passing water the trees.
May he keep the trees for his people.

Last night I saw parts of "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" and there were some fantastic bonsai.

Watched the last episode of the current season today. Finished with a surprise I wasn't expecting and should indicate a new season.
As stated before, there is a lot of dumb teen assery, but I have loved watching the adults grow, develop and change and breaking adversarial relationships and forming bonds. Even the similarities in the dumb assery of the so called adults and the teens seem to mellow.

The first half is legit and cool and creepy. The second half is pathetic from a story-telking point of view, it's like 100+ pages of patronizing the one female character while circling back around all the same plot recaps over and over and over. I'll take Buffy over that part any day.

I am more cringe at the cheap glazed pots that they are in, at least put them in proper unglazed pots.

Most of the things thrown around I have never heard about.
Watching the 15sec clip above made me realize why I do not.
