Awwww, they haven't learned to be afraid of humans yet, it seems. Maybe if they get used to you they'll visit often? Dunno if that's actually a good thing, but it'd be fun to have your own "pet" wild rabbits. lol
On another note, my friend told me CW is remaking Beauty and the Beast, the series from 1987 starring Linda Hamilton and Ron Perlman. I LOVE that series and was so excited to hear it was being remade, so I started looking up info and suddenly I'm not so excited anymore. The character names are the same, but everything else is completely different! Vincent is not a noble, gentle lion-man. He's an ex-doctor used for military experimentation, thus resulting in a Jekyll and Hyde effect. Think the Incredible Hulk meets Dexter, with excess hair involved. By night he's a rampaging vigilante serial killer, by day he hides in a New York apartment with a roommate, a Wii, and lots of beer.
Catherine is not a lawyer who is almost murdered and saved by Vincent and taken to an underground wonderland. She's a cop whose mother was murdered in front of her, and saved by Vincent who then vanishes for a few years until they meet again, where they help each other out catching bad guys.
There is no underground world. There is no Father. There is nothing remotely enchanting about the story at all. Frankly, I'm wondering why they're even TRYING to relate this new series to the old one, considering they went and sucked everything that made it magical and charming right out of it.
I guess Hollywood has lost none of its magical touch of taking a perfectly wonderful story and flushing it right down the universal crapper.
