Lost Boys slash. So hot. So wrong.

I couldn't help thinking that The Lost Boys reminded me of the Goonies (same fun, kids adventure vs clueless adults type of atmosphere) except with more vampires and far more subtext. Seriously, there were a couple moments when I seriously expected them to kiss (and wondered how they could be that obvious between brothers).

Well, apart from sniggering over the fact that there were two actors named Corey in the film, I also amused myself when noticing that Bill (from Bill and Ted) had ended up a vampire with bad hair, while Rob Lowe has always been ridiculously pretty. I want a picture of that particular Rob Lowe poster. Maybe make an icon out of it, or something.

Meanwhile, I know someone wrote "Rules of Attraction" slash. Was it you

celli or

dammitcarl? I have a strong suspicion it was one of you. I'm just asking because I've hired the film, so I'll watch it tomorrow (pretty, pretty Ian).

Not me, sadly. Still haven't seen the whole movie. Just the important parts. *g*

Lost Boys slash is, by definition, antithetical. 'Slash' implies a deviation from canon - the creation of relationships that don't exist, or the elaboration of existing tensions. I think anyone who's seen The Lost Boys will agree that any male/male sexual tension is very much intentional and present in canon. >;)
