Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
这或许是最好的重聚方式了：大家一起回到当年的片场，以答题的方式讲讲当年的轶事，听主创说说选角的过程，像当年进行剧本围读一样重现名场面，派配角们出来露个脸，以时装表演形式呈现以前的造型，还有那些不为人知的未能修成正果的crush...没有狗尾续貂也没有强行增添什么，六位主演都放松很动情，比预想中好太多了。能创造和参演这样的剧集何其幸运，能和陪伴自己十年的搭档成为好友何其幸运，遇到这部剧的观众何其幸运。
新的世代新的意识形态塑造出一个不同的EVA，相比于真心为你具有冒犯性质的具有强烈撕裂感的动画现实影像的切换，终明显是走向完全不同的更加柔和的，蔡国强选择回到泉州完成天梯、坂本龙一在福岛地震后选择回归自然、庵野秀明就选择了回归日常生活，这一次的切换与收束显得轻盈了
以前喜欢绫波丽（乖巧），后来慢慢地喜欢明日香（傲娇），最后发现还是真希波成了最后的羁绊，我猜EVA不会完结，肯定还会有故事发生
这么个访谈的模式其实和我想象中的不太一样。当年给我留下很深印象的一集是，六个人一起围在桌前，回忆自己的30岁生日是怎么过的。面对不可阻挡的自然规律，每个人都有各自的应对方式，共同的感慨是年华易逝。那么多年之后，能就着这个场景续写一段小故事，就真的是太好了。
跪求各位客串明星戏少点plz／笑死，优酷直接删了好几个明星的戏份，不愧是你酷狗🐶
人均不是人，全员被恭喜。亚当都量产，机体乱合体。武戏烧预算，文戏画简笔。巨乳贴身摇，开胸无内衣。痞子无武德，工具用完弃。他人或和解，我恨仍永记。
情怀拉满，十五年后再聚首。正如编剧说的，这是一个在你生命阶段中「朋友就是你的家人」的故事，而当有了家庭，这个阶段也就结束了。听上去美丽又伤感，珍惜朋友啊！！！
Well 现在回想起来，他们六个人满足了所有我对友情的期待，羡慕他们之间的感情，也期待身边出现这样有趣有爱的人。路人街采那段有点做作夸张，但不可否认的是，他们确确实实成为了粉丝心目中的朋友。只要剧集在，我们永远可以打开，随便看一集，傻笑，那种朋友的亲切感虚假但却又真实地围绕在身边。感谢他们将自己最美好的十年献给了世界各地200多个国家/地区的观众。（1到9季我大概看了十几遍，我坚信，只要不看第10季，他们，朋友，就永远不会离开我）直到现在好像也还没有脱离“朋友就是家人”的人生阶段。看到多年之后的他们有些唏嘘。
我总觉得制作组应该给他们再设计一些iintimate的聊天环境，例如重玩问答的部分至少也应该多放一些内容，《老友记》那么多素材，多设计一些桥段应该不成问题。大家私下的感情是那么深厚，在片场的记忆是那么宝贵，总觉得应该能采访的内容更多。加上并不是所有演员的性格都是张扬的，马修派瑞明显就还没进入状态，总感觉大家都还没完全放松下来就拍完了。T_T
少年的残酷成长史，是庞大的人类史诗演义，也是个体小小的内心秩序重建。
对此刻的他们而言 到底是这次重聚 还是过去了的那十年 更像一场梦？
西历2021年8月13日，不管怎样，谢谢庵野监督，谢谢大家。我有好好地在成长，做一个靠谱的大人呢~虽然私心也想看高仿绫波丽插两个小时秧，但是，学会告别，也是一种成长吧。
全部星送给Lisa，找时间重刷Friends https://fangj.github.io/friends/
满满回忆...当年刚回国时人生地不熟，陪伴自己多少个日日夜夜，有它就不觉得孤单，有它家里的客厅就永远充满欢声笑语...虽说现在再看，第三季第四季直到第七季都有硬凹的样子，剧情也夸张的撒狗血，可就是这一份陪伴一晃很多年啊！
“How did not everyone know we were crushing on each other?"
时间真可怕 带着新的记忆再重看pilot又是不一样的感觉
明显胸大戴眼镜的好女人就是监督本人的老婆呀，看到结局觉得非常欣慰，一个人选择同自己和解，同世界和解，不再那么拧巴，这种被定义为庸俗的价值观，其实真的再好不过。
少年的残酷成长史，是庞大的人类史诗演义，也是个体小小的内心秩序重建。
记忆被唤醒，青春却已逝去。
情怀特辑，只能4星推荐了[哈哈]其实整个Reunion组织得不够好，不如W&G聚首集惊艳、直接带来两季回归；主持人和现场互动也一般，没有挖出更多幕后故事（罗瑞曾经暧昧除外），但架不住这么多熟悉的脸孔重聚在一起啊，够好哭的了。17年了，6人都显老了，3女身材都保持不错，3男各有各的臃肿。菲比脸保持最好（当然不能特写），乔伊也因为胖反而比较正常，其他人脸崩的崩僵的僵、罗斯脸明显垮掉下去了。所以医美也救不了美女。回来不少配角，但一直期待、唯一仍在一线的麦克最终没来，看来蚁人太火了！莫妮卡瑞秋的新剧都没立住，钱德勒浮浮沉沉在《傲妻》系列。。。还是重温老友记吧～
