I never got into Madmen.

It seems like my thing.

It's on my long range todo list.

But I wouldn't mind seeing her evolve though several styles of fashion worn through the 60s: A mod, jaquie kennedy, a house wife like Samantha, a spy who shags then a hippy then a dirty hippy.

Hippies were great in the beginning but they had a tiny halflife.
 
Twighlight has deformed the Vampire niche. Then of course those Anne Rice zombie douches acting all nihilistic about the pvc clad tail they're pulling, dressing like the crow didn't help either... I think it's more that people who want to write melodrama find Vampires as an easy bolthole to settle in to.

The entire teen angst sex-sex mystique of twilight could be ruined utterly if Bella asked that assface Edward one simple question: "Vampirism, it's a strain of syphilis right?"
 
Twilight is just the flavor of the month. Nosferatu, Bela Lugosi, Richard Matheson, Hammer Films, Dark Shadows, Vampirella, Blacula, Anne Rice, Buffy, Blade, Underworld, Laurell K. Hamilton, Moonlight . . . .

There's never been a decade in the last hundred years or so when audiences didn't swoon over vampires. (Although things slackened off in the 1950s a bit.) They're not going away anytime soon.

And there will be another big vampire boom coming along when Twilight fades . . . .
 
I shudder every time I see the thread heading for "50 years of twilight............ Zone" that's being run at the moment.

But then I believe that you take the good, you take the bad, you take them both, and then you have the f.... One rotten apple in the barrel is all I meant. I even liked the Blade TV Show once it delineated a clear storyline towards a final conflict and True Blood is just so broad you can't help but drown in it's rich complexity, and there's this runt of the litter that seems to somehow be hogging all the celebrity?

So Alison as a Vampire or a Vampire Hunter on True Blood? Maybe a rival Queen?
 
Heroes is the show most in need of her, but for her sake I hope she'd get Dexter instead. :D To regain its edge, that show needs some kind of truly dire season-long serial killer baddie - such as a cannibal. I couldn't imagine a more interesting acting challenge for Mack.

As Mad Men moves further into the 60s I think she would be good as a Flower Child.

Oh no, she'd be a pert Mary Tyler Moore/Marlo Thomas professional city girl.

And then someone would drop some acid in her morning java. :devil: Who? That bastard Pete is the top of my list.

Yeah that's what Mad Men can do to win me back. Soooo sick of the dull dull dull Don & Betty Show, aka Who's More Repressed? It's time for all those people to start tuning in and dropping out, or whatever the frak the old folks used to say.
 
Longer than Trinity? I dunno 3 decades of serial killing is a long time, her character type reminds me of that Filipino chick on Dollhouse, Tophers assistant, I think that actress was on Dexter last season too
 
For some reason I can see her migrating over to ABC. Desperate Housewives could work - they get a new family each year - or maybe on Grey's Anatomy.

Keep her away from NBC though. Just ask Michael Rosenbaum about getting a job on one of their shows...
 
The media is lousy with vampires the last decade or so. It's never been like this. Even "Dark Shadows" was a bit of cult show.


Back in the sixties, DARK SHADOWS was a mass-market phenomenon. There was tons of merchandise, over seventy tie-in novels, jigsaw puzzles, board games, coloring books, two feature films, magazine covers, plastic models, comic books, joke books, etc. Barnabas Collins even did a guest-spot on THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR

These days it's being kept alive by a cult (at least until the Tim Burton movie comes along), but it was a big mainstream soap opera in its prime.
 
Mad Men would be a really different thing for her, I think she'd be great. I'd be nice to hear her say dialogue that doesn't have 50 puns on pop culture in every sentence.
 
I wouldn't mind her showing the mad men what a computer from the 60s looked like with the same level of objectifellia she usually has..

Those things were ridiculous.
 
Clearly she needs to star in a revival of DARK SHADOWS (he says in a clumsy attempt to eradicate topic drift).
