Take me Bishop, I'm all yours!

Wow! James D'Arcy is soooooo gorgeous!!!!

Bishop can have me any time! James D'Arcy took over the character of Bishop so completely. I just loved to hate him! When I watched him in this role, he seemed to embody the image of the ultimate vampire. I found myself horrified by him, yet magnetically drawn to him. I have watched many vampire films and seen innumerable male vampires try to exude this presence, but none like Bishop. He was a monster, yet I found myself hoping hoping he would escape the clutches of Lucy.

Who else thought James made a great Bishop?

Me!!!

And I liked the movie too - the unrated, non-linear version.

I like the irony of the name. But I thought Cruise's Lestat is damn near as alluring and seductive and subtle as vampires can get. His victims don't even know they're dying until they're braindead, which is, in IMO, the most dangerous of vampires (just like ticks and vampire bats). It's like they've mastered the art of drinking nobody notices.

Nothing is more reliable than a man whose loyalties can be bought with hard cash.
