Restful? Yes and no. (Lol, when is anything ever out of the grey area with me?) I went to bed around 10:30, but my dad was walking around the house at midnight, which woke me. And I thought I really had lost it, because I was totally convinced it was morning, but when I looked at my watch, it said midnight. My first impulse was to think I'd gone crazy, it wasn't until a good few minutes later that I realised the watch was right and definitely more reliable than my internal clock. But apart from that, yeah, pretty well rested. But now it's 10 again and I'm going to bed. *BIG yawn.*

I guess you've had a restful night of sleep ?

Jekyll+Hyde had a Jekyll wanting to be Hyde all the time. But it sucked. It really was just a drug-addict movie, there was no struggle. And the ending psychopath chasing people scene was so lame. I don't think Dougary Scott's was like that though, because as I said, he was too much about killing Hyde no matter what. Pahaha, I can't help it. We should have done Jekyll and Hyde in school, instead of analysing SHIT like Clueless, FUCK! When I'm interested in something, I tend to think it to death. There's no point trying to stop thinking about it, because that only makes you think more... I would happily analyse every other Jekyll and Hyde I've seen/read/heard, and maybe throw in some other fiction I'm into...

To bravo9653, yeah I've seen that one. Probably the first one I saw after reading the book. It's good, but there are some annoying Doctor Who-style cheese moments throughout, particularly at the end. And then they had the balls to say something stupid like "Hyde is love" SPEWSPEWSPEW!!! Lol. And yet, on occasion, I watch the whole thing again because I'm just obsessed. I've even watched the commentries... O_O

Well if Jekyll did know, and just wanted to be Hyde that would be a neat spin.
And wow, I can't believe how much you are analyzing this movie. I guess I've analyzed movies before, but usually i just end up saying its a movie who cares. Why do you analyze it so?
bravo9653 (2 days ago)
if you want a good jekyll and hyde movie i recommend the bbc's Jekyll starring James nesbitt it was on abc last year it's divided in to 6 eps because its 340 minutes long so get the dvd it cost me $34.99 at sanity
DestroyerMariko (2 days ago)
Wait, what if Jekyll DID know and was suiciding because it was so much easier to be Hyde? Although that seems unlikely. He was really horrified by the whole thing, he wanted Hyde dead even if it meant taking himself out.
DestroyerMariko (2 days ago)
Yeah after the injection. The reason I didn't see it as a fight is because the outburst seemed to be all Hyde. I think Jekyll probably didn't realise that the cure could backfire, and since he didn't know that, Hyde wouldn't have known either. I doubt it would have been a gamble because Jekyll was so excited to find it. If it was a risk, he wouldn't have been so sure about using it. Scrap that scene though, it would've been so much more interesting to watch Jekyll break down in court, pahahaha! But I wouldn't wish for Hyde to make a public appearance because no one ever gets that right. The original Hyde was too terrified of punishment to do that anyway. So, had there been no injection, I imagine Hyde would just stop Jekyll from saying anything incriminating, without making it obvious what was going on. Some nice internal torture >:)

I'm with Jawzah on the vamp thing, you gotta know what she means by it. It might also help to look at the context and just how bizarre the claims may or may not be. In any case, everyone is human regardless of whatever else they tack on to their identities. If she claims she's totally not human, she's either role playing or insane.
Jawzah (2 days ago)
Hmm - Atomic - I think you could start by asking her what she means by "vampire". Hard to say if she's telling the truth or not if you don't even know what _exactly_ she is telling (or trying to tell).
