Have you guys actually read the Twilight books? I don't like them but from what I've read they're not as bad as you would expect from seeing their fans.

I must confess I have not read them nor have any desire to. A series like that is driven for a very specific audience that I do not fall under, therefore I'm left sort of ostracized from what other fans are supposedly receiving. Not that I'm complaining, if I want to read about Vampires there's plenty of fiction out there, shit I've written my own chronicles with White Wolf's Vampire: The Masquerade books. I suppose what I'm getting at is that if I want to enjoy some good blood sucking romance I don't need a watered down version written by a fucking Morman.

You're very right... in fact Twilight has contributed greatly to my feeling that vampires are the lamest mythical beast. I just don't think the books are completely horrible.... only pretty horrible.

C'mon guys? Why the Harry Potter hate? I haven't read the books but at least the first few movies were really good kids films.

I have only seen parts of Twilight, but that was painful enough.

C'mon man, Vampires are f*cking kickass.

I am of course, talking about real vampires. Like Bela Legosi or Christopher Lee's Dracula or Count Orlok or Alucard from Helsing or Alucard from Castlevania or Keifer Sutherland in Lost Boys or Chris Surrandon in Fright Night... Or The Count from Sesame Street.

Those are f*cking vampires, not that pretty boy emo kid.

Word. The vampire's image has become so tarnished in the past year that few people see them as the epitome of being a badass that was intended. Real vampires are fucking awesome, way better than werewolves, which I find much harder to believe when on screen or in books.
