Thankfully, we have a good Vampire vs Werewolves crossover. We call it Underworld.

I can think she did.

Didn't they have a furniture breaking bout of the intimates? I would assume that would involve some one eating someone else's brain.

I saw this movie based on a friends suggestion,he knows I am a horror movie fanatic,so he tells me about "a cool vampire movie" he just saw.
Now,let me clarify for a moment,I'm 39,had never heard of the whole "twighlight craze..whatever",no knowledge of the books,and very little enter action with "emo" kids (I'm an old "punk rocker").
So,my girlfriend and I watch this garbage,both basicly stare at the T.V saying WTF is this sh**! and the following day I have to resist the urge to punch my friend in the face....turns out his wife really liked it and thought "Edward" was cute...I don't speak to him very much anymore.

It also has pedophilia
a werewolf trys to feth a newborn vampire

I'm amused that in the book apparently it mentions how the vampires have no bodily fluid of any kind.


Yet, the girl ends up pregnant by him.



...hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Hey, here's an amusing question.
Which is better, Harry Potter or Twilight?


http://www.sodahead.com/question/192541/twilight-vs-harry-potter-which-series-is-hotter/

My name on there is justin...
Look for the picture of pants.

Ok I was hesitant to post (let alone read the thread), but I think you guys are missing the point (i.e. ur doin it wrong, hurr hurr). Twilight was written by a woman who had never read or seen any serious vampire fiction. She is/was a bored mormon housewife who wanted to make a book for girls. Yes, it's namby pamby, but for the ladies in my wife it's a good read and it introduces them to a genre that they wouldn't have touched beforehand.

My neighbor whom got my wife interested in the series is also reading the Brotherhood series. For the uninitiated ( http://www.jrward.com/index-books.html ). If you need a vampire fix, but also soft-core porn then give it a shot. The characters are pretty good and the story is great.

that doesnt matter she took 2 of our greatest monster and basterdized them
and it shows a unreallistic style of love

Change the Goth from being fairly hench and muscular physically to being a lanky awkward teenager, in skinny fit jeans. As for personality, change it from a hard drinking tough(if slightly morbid) personality, to an incredibly depressive attention seeking one.
THAT, my friends, is an Emo.

No, that is a goth. Except for the buff part ("hench'? What's that? I'll assume buff & muscly?). Skinny, whiny depressed art students - at least they were when I was at school - which was the 80s. They all looked like the by-blows of Siouxsie Sue and Robert Smith. Most had "cutting" scars on their wrists and some even did the blood-play thing (until they got hep B and got really sick and stuff). Never met a buff goth. Chromers and Rivetheads, plenty of them though.

Then they grew up, settled down, stopped rebelling against their middle-class roots and begat offspring. These became emos. They have vague ideas of what Goths were (most goths were often "chemically enhanced" at least in the cities I knew them, and have crap memories now as a result), and kinda blurred them together into a gestalt melange. Emos today would get sneered at and shunned by goths from my generation, but then, that was what they were good at (sneering and shunning.).

Vampire fiction goes in cycles. When I was a teen, it was Catherine Deneuve in "the hunger" (with David Bowie, as well), but we also had vampire spoofs. Once Bitten (Lauren Hutton and a young Jim Carrey, Love at first bite (George Hamilton). And good vampire movies (Near Dark. Yokel vampires.). Anne (Puke) Rice came along and made them all (back of hand to forehead) - "oh woe is me! I am a monster." again.

I see Stephanie Meyer as simply the current generation's analogue of AR. And just as bad.

Ditto'd on all counts.

Never be afraid to fight a girl. They want equality after all.

Never be afraid to fight a girl.

No just her boyfriend.

I can't hate Twilight. There are many more girls at my school then boys, and most of the guys read Twilight to get their girlfriends to shut the f*ck up. They then become Twilight fans. I am s lone island in a sea of idiots. Only a few people actively hate Twilight as much as me at my school. And I hate them just as much as Twilight. I can not begin a fight with either group, as I wil be boned by an almost 12 to 1 ratio. God dammit. Cheese, may I burrow your holy water and fire?

*muffled*
"Sure. Why?"

I need to kill myself.

*Muffled*
"I'll get the video camera!!!"

You know what to do, laddie.

Burn 'em. Burn 'em all.

So, any of you guys watch True Blood?

true blood.........first few times i ran across it channel surfing i though hbo had decided to run softcore porn earlier in the day.

i've a friend or 2 thats a fan, but i don't watch it.

The best vampires are the vicious, predatory monsters who live in abandoned crypts and will not for a second hesitate to kill anyone who crosses their path. They walk around in mouldering centuries old clothing and dare you with their eyes to say something about the blood staining their faces. If they were real, and one offered me immortality, I would go for it in a second. I would stay away from all the emos and goths, because them knowing vampires really existed would be justification for their annoying ways.

Hey, on a side note, can you kill vampires with chainsaws if you slice their head off or gut them with it?

They would be the easiest to turn into the mindless masses though, controlling them and making them do your bidding as thralls. Even Dracula had those IIRC, in the form of the gypsies.

If they are all reading Twilight you have nothing to fear. Genghis Connie's Girl scout troup could take them out. One girl actually reads Twilight and the rest think she's an idiot, and weird.

From what you tell us, your daughter should have been sent into Iraq and saved the U.S. government tons of bother, since she's apparently the single most powerful human being in existence.

Frazz's daughter for God Empress of Man?

Oh, gak I didn't see the boundary I swear!

In all my years as a "metal head", I have never been a Goth or been called one.
I actually resent the assumption you've made, that the only people who wear Iron Maiden T-shirts are Goths.

(On Topic)In general:
The only thing I can agree with in principle, is the dislike for Twighlight.

Echoing some of the other old farts in this thread, the entire "goth vs. emo" debate is in itself ironic.
It's really just all children being children. At some point you'll all grow up and get a real identity. Instead of engaging in your typical teen "nonconformity through complete and utter conformity" thing, that is.

I resent this. Every heard this?

"You are only young once but can stay immature indefinitely." Can't remember who said this, but I find it very true. I know I'll get a
LITTLE mature (right around 21. but beyond that, just enough to function in society.

Ok, this thread is full of win, simply because I just stumbled into it after leaving the living room where my wife is currently watching the movie for the umpteenth time.

The movie isn't that bad, the the insane level of attention it is getting is too much.

Cheese Elemental wrote:Thankfully, we have a good Vampire vs Werewolves crossover. We call it Underworld.

Now this I have to argue with. While I haven't seen Rise of the Lycans yet, the DVD is on my coffee table, just bought it, Underworld is nothing more than a Werewolf and Vampire version of Romeo and Juliet.

My wife and I got into an argument about the movies, where she feels the movies have far too much violence, and I feel the movies have far too much romance...

Well, you know how teenagers like to dress up and identify as part of a fashion because they're desperate to be anything other than middle class kids from the suburbs. Well in the past we've called them mods, goths, surfies and all sorts of other things, and made fun of them for being lame. Now we call them emos, and make fun of them because they're still just middle class kids from the suburbs desperate to be something other than middle class kids from the suburbs.


Meanwhile, people who aren't teenage girls are keen to point out how much they dislike a book series written for teenage girls.
