exmarx posted:'Colin' seems like a very NZ boring guy name, to me You know, Colin ranked 319th most popular name England and Wales in 1996 and 684th most popular in 2014. It has been moderately popular in the United States and was listed in the top 100 boys names in the U.S. in 2005. In Scotland it ranked 302 in 2014, but in Ireland it is more popular, ranking 88th in 2006. It It has two distinct origins, the first being a diminutive form of "Colle", itself an Old French short form of the name Nicolas. This name, but not the anglicized Gaelic name, is also found in the spelling Collin. This name is formed by the Old French diminutive -in also found in Robin. An anglicized form of the Gaelic name Cuilen, Cailean, modern Irish spelling Coileáin, meaning "whelp, cub". The Old Irish word for "whelp," is cuilén. The Scottish Gaelic name is recorded in the spelling Colin from as early as the 14th century. MacCailean was a patronymic used by Clan Campbell, after Cailean Mór. In the US, Colin has peaked in 2004 at rank 84, and has substantially declined since (rank 196 as of 2016). The form Collin reached the peak of its popularity somewhat earlier, at rank 115 in 1996, and has declined to rank 298 as of 2016. Taken together, the names Colin and Collin accounted for 0.16% (about 1 in 620) of boys named in the US in 2016, down from 0.4% (one in 250) in 2004.

muscles like this! posted:I liked how Jeff's "Gregor" voice was pretty much him doing a Chris Hemsworth Thor impression. It sounded like an impression of Chris Pratt doing a Chris Hemsworth Thor impression to me, which made it even better  Nadja casually vomiting a jetstream of liquid vomit from a single piece of popcorn ala Let The Right One In was great. I think my biggest laugh though probably came from,"Run free my comra-WHAT THE gently caress!?!"

On paper, it should have been funnier if Colin was just a normal super irritating human who thought he was an energy vampire, just like on paper it should have been funnier if Nadja just kept picking random people (or horses) and thought they were Gregor. But this show instead took both literally and made it amazing.

In fact, it's good. It's just not as good as "Let The Right One In". (it even has an 88% on RottenTomatoes) InfiniteZero fucked around with this message at 19:02 on Apr 29, 2019 |

Alan G posted:Agreed.

I actually really like LTROI's interpretation though, if only because it's such a dark take on the rather obvious (and creepy as gently caress, if you think about it) romance between the two. I assume Let Me In is more obviously in line with the author's intent?

It’s made more obvious what their relationship is, and it’s made more clear what Oskars origin is

I wasn't really feeling it at first but after they did shots the episode just nailed scene after scene utterly hilariously. The vampires attempting to explain that they were on drugs to the documentary crew was the best.

Oskar being groomed as a replacement caregiver is not what the author intended? Because I found it hard to see it any other way. Geez, that somehow makes the whole thing creepier and much worse.

Laszlo just wants to recapture the old magic they shared.  Edit: found it  "Very animalistic. Acrobatic stuff, you might say."

Probably one of the best comedic episodes I've ever seen. Attention to detail and nailed the timing.

Man, I rewatched the episode and I'm kind of bummed they killed the Baron off so soon because he's a great character. I mean his death was perfect and hilarious and it fit the episode, but I still wish we could have seen more of him. Maybe they can bring Doug Jones on in a different role? Maybe keep showing up as different cool monsters that keep getting accidentally killed?
