    Please don't do this.

    One of the worst films I have seen in quite some time.

    I wish everyone would stop saying those hideous Twilight books are about Vampires, they're not. They're about Mormon sparkle fairies.

    Twilight is a middle aged fat Mormon housewife's repressed sexual fantasy

    Twilight is dog piss in comparison.


    Dog p1ss serves a useful purpose in marking the dog's territory and sending signals to other dogs. Twilight on the other hand serves no useful purpose.

    I blame Buffy too. Emo vampires ahoy. Shít I remember one episode where they had Dracula in it and oh god... Another brooding emo, whose arse of course she kicked.

    I'd like her to try similar avec this guy http://cinemasights.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/dracula1992-dracula.jpg

    or better yet

    Creepiest Dracula ever IMHO.

    The only emo vampire in Buffy was Angel, because he had a soul. The rest were all evil and want to kill you.

    Yeah, im a fag.

    The weird little girl in the Swedish version of Let the Right One In - now that was a vampire! Interview with the Vampire was excellent, the Queen of the Damned is a dog turd.

    Twilight is Dawsons Creek with teeth. But Buffy started the rot.

    In fairness Gary Oldman did make a great Dracula. Except for the bits when he looked like Glenn Close.

    Not at all...Anne Rice was preening up vamps long before Josh Whedon did Buffy.

    I want wretched creature vampires, ones that rip peoples throats out and explode or melt when sunlight hits them, proper ones, not twinkly emo over possesive Abercrombie model looking ones.

    Nosferatu, Dracula, The Lost Boys, From Dusk Til Dawn, 30 Days Of Night, Blade (especially Blade 2), Let The Right One In, these are proper vamipre movies. Twilight can foooooook right off. between its dodgy Morman values, ridiculous versions of vampires and its stars (why does Kirsten Stewart have a permanent look on her face like she's trying to remember if she left the iron on before leaving the house?) its a bag of sh1te.

    +1. Dracula in the original form had no issue with sunlight either. Quite happy to wander about in it. Crosses only pissed him off. He'd have Buffy as a midnight snack before he went off in search of a real woman. He'd make short work of Lestat while he was at it. Ya gotta love the whole turning into wolves, mist and plagues of rats for shíts and giggles.

    That said the Stoker book is very dated and odd. Great elements in it, but film made him as a character IMHO. Especially the first Nosferatu. Herzogs version is proper creepy even though done on the cheap.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    Pretty creepy. But not all of the vampires in Buffy were emo:

    And she had a fairly tough time killing him.
