doom

- "The gothic fad had been done to death. Black clothing is now a bad joke. Vampires are overrated. Dark, ominous doom music is depressing by definition. And Anne Rice is a hack. The novelty is gone. Lighten up, people. --> The original quote from Chester G. Edwards"

- "Villains are picked off in order of ascending nastiness... sadistic brutes, followed by smarmy flacks, followed by twisted visionaries in expensive suits. Among the heroes, we don't have to worry about the principled male scientist, the dynamic female animal behaviorist, or the stowaway children. But even among the good guys, a marginal physiognomy or a receding hairline can spell doom. Keep your eye on that sad-faced electronics specialist. He's bald, and he's gonna pay. --> The original quote from Stephen Harrigan"
