I agree with the "not knowing it's a vampire film" thing. The first person who mentioned FDTD to me, when it came out on circuit, said something like "have you seen it yet? no? well, I'm not going to say another word, just go and see it". So I was quite in the dark until another friend blithely and unthinkingly wittered on about the vampires, thereby spoiling it, I think. When you start watching it, there seems enough plot there to get a film started without there being any vampires.

I remember startlingly little about the film. George Clooney has a tattoo?
