Call it my need to know.

I watched Near Dark again today, and besides being reminded how much I love it and how unspeakably hot Lance Henriksen was, I uncovered a couple of song samples I'd forgotten. One of which I cannot remember where I've heard it.
The lines are from the bar scene.
Bartender: What do you people want?
Jesse: just a few more minutes of your time. About the same duration as the rest of your life.
There is an ebm/industrial song that opens with that, and I cannot remember what it is. Does anyone know?
Emaciated Lance Henriksen... I'll be in my bunk.
(I also didn't realize that Diamondback was also Vasquez from Aliens--"Hey Vasquez, have you ever been mistaken for a man?" "No, have you?" [If I could use the huge portion of my brain that holds movie quotes and song lyrics toward psychic powers, I'd be the fucking Phoenix.])

Diamondback/vasquez... Lance and Bill paxton were all from Aliens... The director of Near Dark (K. Bigelow) was married to aliens director James Cameron, when Near Dark was made.
Not sure Bigelow ever created anything that worked quite as well as near dark, though her subsequent millenial angst movie, and serial killer movie (Blue Steel) all had interesting moments. But Near Dark was fucking magic!

Great post :)
Hey, we both finished a rough draft, cool, huh? Shall we try for a new pact for a new story? Say, October 15?

I'll see how much I can do by the 15th, but a safer goal for me would be the 30th.

I think the 30th sounds great :D
