Fallen angels? So they're demons then, right?

Any chance of a de-winging sequence in this film ala Cigarette Burns? No? Bull. Disney could make it happen.

Nice that it's not yet more vampires/werewolves. It's getting way old, everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon when there's so many other supernatural avenues they could go down, if they so wished. Or completely make up, if they have the imagination.

And I read some complete dross as a teen. Actually I'd like to revisit all my Point Horror/Christopher Pike books just to see if any of them are still readable, as I have a soft spot for a lot of them. Oh to see Remember Me made into a film...

If those fallen angels tap that ass, there is no way Jesus and his pops let them back through the gates. Just the fact that they've been exploring jealousy, lust and envy while pursuing this girl for centuries is enough to bar them for eternity in and of itself.

So what's in it for the girl? A couple of demons want to snuggle her coochie? I can track down the address of the next Real World reunion and get all sorts of evil up in her shit.

And how old is this girl??? Do they wait until she hits a certain age before courting her? No way. They're demons! Her virginhead is like Nam to them. No rules, baby!

In summation, it will be a shiny piece of religery mired in adolescent demonry. The tagline? "It can't be statutory rape if they're* angels."

*"they were"

Oh to see Remember Me made into a film...

I like this idea, Carrie. I just reread my copy of Pike's "A Season of Passage" and it's no classic but it still holds up. He's written tons of books; I wonder why no one ever optioned any for a movie or tv movie?

As for the whole fallen angels idea, there's nothing stopping them from having sex, right? I mean, they've already fallen, what's the harm in some premarital sex? This could have some potential to be the anti-Twilight, without any "sex is bad until you're married (and then your husband's gonna literally pound the crap out of you)" messages.

They could easy jump on the bandwagon with Pike and vampires with his Last Vampire series (although, enough already), though I have no idea how well those hold up, it's been years since I read them. But yeah, he was/is fairly popular as far as I know, so why not do tv/movies out of them? I am sure I would be all 'It's not as good as the book' about it though.

Oh! Now I remember, they did do Fall into Darkness as a film with Jonathan Brandis and Tatyana Ali.

It was not as good as the book.

As for the whole fallen angels idea, there's nothing stopping them from having sex, right? I mean, they've already fallen, what's the harm in some premarital sex?

According to what the movies have taught us about angels (The Prophecy, Prophecy II and Dogma spring immediately to mind), ANGELS DON'T GOT NARDS. Smooth and featureless as Barbie dolls are they.

Though I suppose there could be oral. Or finger-banging.

No nards? Well, there goes my guilty pleasure.

WAIT just a darn minute.

They have been fighting for CENTURIES? Over a TEENAGE GIRL? Who, by my math, is NOT CENTURIES OLD if she is a TEENAGER?

Stupid.

Oh it'll be the old reincarnation chestnut, it pops up all the time in these kind of stories.

I'm going to write a screenplay for the American Apparel hipster douchebag elite. I will tell the tale of an ironic love triangle between a troubled but quirky girl, a ninja, and a pirate. The ninja has stolen her heart under cover of darkness, but the pirate plunders the booty like none other. Will body or soul win the war?

No, no, no, no, no.

We The Elohim got caught consorting with the "daughters of men" back in the day. Don't need more of that drama. The worship. The praying. The beseeching. The trying to extract elder secrets by force. Such a kerfuffle. Our Their progeny are running things just fine from the shadows without the whole going public thing. Where do you think the Illuminati story came from anyway?

Every couple hundred years we they trot out another cover - Hapsburgs / Merovengians / Cathars, Reptilian Alien Overlords, Templars / Freemasons / Priory of Sion, Egyptian Magicians, Atlantis, Millennium the TV show.

Millennium the TV Show almost didn't happen. Bunch of nimrods (Yes, we they have them too.) thought it was too close to the truth. That's the point - stutter-wings. The closer it is, the better the cover, and they'll never believe it because it's it's been told so plainly. Sigh. Eternal life and unlimited power don't make for genius, as we've seen again and again. (And again, and again. It can make for tedium.)

Penn and Teller would see right though this flimsy misdirection but they're two of us the "others", living among you. (Seriously. You didn't think that motor-mouth Yeti or tiny, grinning homunculus were regular humans did you? We They can take any form, so these two did - for laughs.) Here's the gag. They give away the "secrets" of their stage tricks, but the real secret - they're using actual magic. I Folks think that joke is funny-once, but they've been laughing at it for decades. This incarnation. No accounting for taste, I suppose.

Which brings me to Fallen. If it's who I think it is, this is just another ploy to score some "daughter of Eve." Let's call them Pratt and Fall - it's bad manners to use true names. Power to summon. Spirit wracking. Junk mail on holidays. (For all religions - it never stops.)

I'm guessing the no-game twins planted the Fallen story to score some angel-tards once "Team Pratt" / "Team Fall" kicks in. It worked with Ann Rice to score goth chicks, so why not try it again?

It's kind of sad, really. With no physical limitations and an eternity to learn their way around, those two are still lousy lays with no game. They ruined the whole direct approach: "Hi, I'm a higher being. Come with me and I'll rock your world for realz." Under promise, over deliver, but they just don't get it.

I, um, read all this. In the newest James Redfield tome The Celistine Game.

And no, Tiger Woods is not one of us them. Angelina - not her real name - is a whole other story.

What a tired plot idea, the love triangle. I mean, honestly, how many girls have actually had two guys fighting for her? Anyone here? It seem like it just sets up young girls for turning into complete whores if this ever happens--being all teasing and breaking guys' hearts so they'll keep fighting over who gets to tell her how pretty she is. All it does is promote vanity and bitchiness and it's so fucking tired.

And guys, they may not have nards as Angels, but maybe by "fallen" they mean their balls have dropped. Into existence, like.

Aren't there any other mythologies we can exploit for our insatiable love-triangle needs?

Here's one: Jekyll and Hyde! I know it's not a mythology per se but listen to this:

Dawn, a pouty, hormonal seventeen-year-old is forced to move to London with her father who, like, totally doesn't get her because no one gets her. And there she meets to hot guys who both totally dig her. One is really sweet and angelic and the other one is like a total bad boy. Little does she know that it's actually the same guy! He transforms back and forth between the two sides of his nature, and only she can redeem him by helping the goody-two-shoes to vanquish the bad boy. (You see, in Hollywood no one wants to acknowledge that both the good and the bad are necessary to make a whole person).

Of course, in the version I would actually go see? Hyde: Robert Downey Fucking Junior. He's hard-drinking, chain-smoking and well over twice Miss Pouty Face's age, but, unlike the good boy (played by Paul Walker exactly to type, that is to say, boring) RDJ knows how to make her toes curl and her eyes roll back in her head. So fuck that good boy bullshit. She ends up with Hyde.

The moral: For the love of god, children, don't wait until you're married to have sex.

Alternate moral: RDJ is hot.

Well fuck, I thought this was about an Angel movie as in Buffy's Angel as in what happened after the end of the show as in that time spent in hell.
Silly me.

I'm with figgy here. I'm thinking the non-existent Angel Nards become existent once the angel has fallen. Just a thought.

Hey, at least it's something different, right?

Or at least take him/her out back and get squelchy.

MyySharona, my dear, I can't be bought, but I can be rented & I am overdue for a bout of squelchy-getting. To the outback!

In the spirit of under promise & over deliver, however, I must disclose that I am not actually a higher being. (Which is what I would say if I were.) I am merely a journeyman human.

However, I am told that what I lack in brute strength and raw charisma, I more than make up for in creativity, enthusiasm and attention to detail.

I have references.

"Oh to see Remember Me made into a film..."

Hell yes. Remember Me was my favorite Christopher Pike book.

Great... now I can't get the idea of finger-banging angels out of my twisted head.

Thanks guys

Vampires are starting to make me yawn and I love Vampires. That's why I've been vastly entertained by Rachel Caine's Weather Warden Series. She mines the oft underused mythology of the djinn. Fun, quick paced, a kick ass heroine and sexy scary mean sexy genies FTW!!

I want to marry erik the shred. Please. Or at least take him/her out back and get squelchy. (With apologies to Myysharona)
