Why would you all care if it's every YOUNG girls fantasy anyway :P

It's hard to see why people would get so riled up about it anyway.. it doesn't personally concern anyway.. I don't know I have no passion towards either side so maybe that's why both sides of the extreme annoy me.

I just can't seem to think of them as vampires. I mean, they don't blow up in the sun, no reaction to silver or garlic, no dominant fangs.

I mean, when Blade did vampires, they might've been a re-imagining, but at least they were COOL. Raves and a nonstop flow of beats, booze, bitches and blood.

I can't stand the sulking little twinkly fucker in this series. Him and his obsessive little fangirl who's just BEGGING to have her throat ripped out.

EDIT: And another thing. What's the deal with no longer thinking it cool to KILL vampires?? I mean, everyone (guys and girls, but MOSTLY girls) wants to fuck them, while trying to look over the whole "They see you as food" thing.

I think it triggers some primal thing. About liking a person who could kill if you if they wanted to... but don't. Because you're that special.


I guess. XD

What Laz said in regards to this thread in general.


I personally prefer Vampire vs. Vampire stories a la Underworld.

I'd never wanna be with someone that has that amount of power over me. Nor would I ever want to have that kind of power over a girl. I need a partner. Not a princess.

I hope you're not suggesting that this movie can be compared to a real-life relationship. =P

Okay Bram Stoker's Dracula was suave and sexy but he was evil as fuck.

Laurell K. Hamilton, Stephenie Meyer, and Anne Rice have turned these creatures into romantic little pussies and popularised them in a cloaked erotica novel. They stole vampires. That's what I dislike about these kinds of movies. Give them back.

I don't dislike Twilight because the vampires are SPARKLY! I just don't like vampires in general. I can deal with the occasional villainous vampire that has to be killed, but in general I don't like them. This even applies to Discworld vampires, where they're even kind of cool. I just don't like the whole premise in general. The fact that they can glitter, brood, and have manginas doesn't change that for me.

(Okay okay, the Wraith on Stargate Atlantis were okay. But they weren't really vampires! They were more like... Marvel's Morpheus on steroids).

Vampires can walk out in the daylight.

Dracula could. Just because Nosferatu turned to ash in 1922 doesn't mean every vampire does.

And yes, Anne Rice is very very sucky because she romanticized vampires.

Who do I blame for romanticizing zombies? Between Corpse Bride and my zombie wife in Fable II, I think I'm entitled to know.

Yeah, but the book really is awful. First I met the fans, and thought the obsessiveness was annoying. Then I was dragged to the movie, and thought it was completely awful. Then I read the book, and confirmed that it was also awful. So I don't see why it's so wrong to hate it.

Really Show? I've heard the House of Night series is better than Twilight.. well I'll soon find out for myself I suppose!


Zoey's just such a Mary Sue. I just did one of those online Mary Sue tests on her and got "Irredeemable-Sue. You're going to have to start over, my friend. I know you want to keep writing, but no. Just no."

Well, I don't mind, I can read anything pretty much.

Anyway, proper vampires are basically mindless zombies. You can tell them by a ruddy, bloated appearance. It's normally caused by a sudden or traumatic death, I guess. They rise from their graves at night to feast on blood from the chest of their victims, generally family members. They don't often kill, though, I don't think; or necessarily pass the vampirism on... Dig up the grave, stake, chop the head off, maybe add lemon or put the thighbones in a cross, sorted. I've only read one story with a proper traditional vampire in.
