Did anyone else like the bullet making scene?


I thought watching the process of making the bullet was sort of interesting and relaxing at the same time along with the narration and the music. I also like how the gunsmith admires his work after making the bullet.

Yeah. Actually, I didn't really like the narration; I think it would have worked better without it. What I liked best though was how *beep* nonchalant the gunsmith was...
"You want a silver bullet?"

And after he points out you could shoot a werewolf with it, so *beep* smoothly, like it's an everyday occurrence for him. I have a feeling this guy knew what was up. They should make a spin-off movie or something with that dude; maybe a prequel. He was probably a werewolf hunter or something.

He was probably friends with the grandpa in "The Lost Boys" who was pretty non-chalant about the local vampire community.



"Atlas Shrugged- Part 1"- NOW on DVD!

He knew he wanted a "Silver Bullet" cause thats what the lone ranger uses

Gamesystems never become obsolete if they are still fun to play

Yeah, seeing that sort of thing often fascinates me. I like how Uncle Red had described the man as an "Old World craftsman".

What do you think this is, a signature? It's a way of life!

Apparently actually making silver bullets is not that easy:

For one thing, the heat required to melt silver is several times that of common lead.

I thought that the old world craftsman line alluded to the guy actually being from the old world (think Transylvania) and having knowledge of such supernatural things.

I liked that scene too. The cinematography, music & narration all were perfect.
I especially liked how the crafstman addressed the problem with the silver bullets that most lore neglects: that the bullet will likely 'tumble'.


"I'd say this cloud is Cumulo Nimbus."
"Didn't he discover America?"
"Penfold, shush."
