Mars has long exerted a pull on the human imagination. The erratically moving red star in the sky was seen as sinister or violent by the ancients: The Greeks identified it with Ares, the god of war; the Babylonians named it after Nergal, god of the underworld. To the ancient Chinese, it was Ying-huo, the fire planet.
What I like about the 'Underworld' thing is that it's a mix of cool genres, as well as creating its own message.
Just because I worked in fashion doesn't mean I didn't go to see 'Underworld' three times!
The native music of North America, the original-roots music of this country, is also the underworld music of this country.
I love the 'Underworld' movies because the vampires aren't automatically evil, yet neither are they basically humans with fangs.
The primary school I attended in Shanghai was a very liberal one, established by scholars who had return from an education in France. The children of leading families were enrolled there, including the son of a well-known man believed to be a top gangster of the underworld!
I would love to take 'Ultimata Underworld' and literally update the graphics.
Well, when I did Underworld 2, I was in Vancouver for five months and I was reminiscent to be back up there.
For many years I had heard about an underworld consisting of people who act out a vampire fantasy while I was living in New York. Fortunately for me there are also several books on the phenomena.
In China the underworld and officialdom have interpenetrated and become one. Criminal elements have become officialized as officials have become criminalized.
