Show them "Near dark"
Especially the bar fight.

This obscure gem was released the same period as "Lost Boys" and had precious little publicity. I knew about it through Fangoria magazine, and it had at least 4 actors I'd heard of, and none were exactly "pretty boys" (unlike lost boys").

And as an extra bonus. Listen to the cast track on Aliens (extra BTS actors talking over the movie).
They spend more time talking about Near Dark than Aliens. (Bill Paxton, Lance Henrickson and Jennette Goldstein are all in it. So was Adrian Pasdar (Heroes) and Tim Thomerson (legend of b-grade 80s SF).

Burn 'em. Burn 'em all.

My buddies and I are making a film about this subject. It's horror comedy. I think you'll like, but you'll have to wait till we're finished filming.

When the film is done, you will find out.

I miss the older generation of face-smashing and black metal goths. These new twilight people drive me insane.

Vampries were the pinnacle of awesome. Late 80s early 90s vamp movies rocked. However once Buffy rolled around things changed. It was nice when Buffy was comedic, but when it went serious it changed the idea of vampires. Anne Rice didn't help at all either. In fact I'd venture to say she contributed to the softening of vampires. The TV show Angel did mixed things. Overall I'm not sure how Angel impacted, but I liked the show a lot anyway. 30 Days of Night came and went and didn't get the response it would have 14 years ago. Now there's twilight which being a vampire fan I did sit down and watch in it's entirety. I tried to get behind it, but all I saw was this, "Let's take normal high-school situations but ADD VAMPIRES!!" and someone's eyes turned into dollar signs looney-toons style and the books were written.

I lost faith in my beloved genre when several new friends of mine found out I was into vamps and "gothy" stuff like that. They got all excited so I'm invited them over to hang out one day and they picked through my DVD shelf. We watched From Dusk Till Dawn. Great movie, but as the end credits began to roll my friend piped up "vampires aren't like that at all though." and went off on this explanation I completely tuned out.

Between Twilight and Anne Rice our vamps are going from super villains to super suck. It was like talking cars. You'd find out some guy or girl liked the vampire genre and you'd ask them which movies were their favorite. They'd be able to spout off actors, where the movie was set, the body count, all kinds of awesome. Similar to how people can rattle off specs on a car's engine. Now someone brings up vampires and I hear "oh god not more twilight." and I quickly try and explain I wasn't referring to twilight, but they tune me out and group me in with twilight fans.

There's two types of vampires now. There's the aggressive, powerful, and scheming ones and there's the Rice-Twilight reticent, brooding and subdued ones.

Werewolves should be making a comeback soon. At least until some bored woman makes a soppy romantic novel about them.

sorry, a good half the pulp fantasy books anymore have vampires and werewolfs in trashy romance setups.

its already to late for them

Know what else I hate? Furries. Furries make me sick to the core. I'd rather tear my own spine out and hang myself with it than be a furry. I want to exterminate all the furries, purify them before they spread.

Whats a furry? As for werewolves four words: Another of My Movies. This will be badass werewolves to the max.

Picture link fail, Orkeosaurus.

GES: A furry is an anthromorphic animal (i.e. a humanoid animal) that is held is low regard by most people who browses 4chan's traditional games (Warhammer, TGCs, etc) board. A furry is also the name for people who wear animal suits and have big LARP events and go to conventions.

For more information, see 1d4chan's furry page for why they are hated.

What? The link's working for me...


"This is as my Master told it to me and now I tell it thee.
There are a billion names of furfaggotry! A billion kinds of furries that slither and slime and defile the land, sea, and wind. Each furry is a kind of sin spawned by the internet's evil. And that internets is very sinful there are many of these damned furfags and their power is great.

As the purpose of all things in nature is to increase, so it is with the furry. They would we joined them and so they seek to overcome us. In alien forms they assault us. In sleep they come to spread doubt and fear among us. They would corrupt our hearts and see us yiff, too. Trust them not nor suffer them to live.

For each furfag destroyed is a soul freed from eternal bondage. Each mortal furry life extinguished is an /i/nsurgent soul raised to glory. Thus, our eternal destiny is written in the blood of the furfag.

With box and tampon destroy the furfag. With pizza and Koran smash the furfag. With credit card hacks and searing Mormons scatter the furfag to the stars. With gore and dataforce and bandwidth raep, with hax and AIDS and Jehovahs, with yellow vans and steroids!

Kill them! Kill them! Kill them all!

As my Master told it me I now tell it thee that thou shalt tell others in thy turn.

In an internet of a million sites, what is the death of one site in the cause of purity? Some may question your right to destroy ten billion furfags. Those who understand realize that you have no right to let them live."

Note: IOU one blowjob.

I stole it from ED.

I'd still like to give it to you.

Furries disturb me, but when they're not in "furry mode" and discussion or talking about being a furry I don't care. My favorite YouTube author is a furry I recently found out, but he still makes damn good videos.


They have their place with other furries. I hate the furries who run around wearing ears constantly talking about how they are a furry. The ones who are overly outward about it bother me because "good" furries will be considerate if you don't want to hear about it. It's the obnoxious ones, just like the obnoxious of any lifestlye that bother me.

Summary: the considerate ones are ok, the "waving their preferences in your face" ones piss me off.

The worst are the furry hentai artists.

Forget I ever said that, please. For the sake of your soul.

twilight is a chick book.

That changes nothing. I'm not upset that it's a chick book; I'm upset that it's so badly written and encourages necrophilia whilst ruining the new generation's concept of vampires.

Werewolves should be making a comeback soon. At least until some bored woman makes a soppy romantic novel about them.

Too late, Twilight already has werewolves and (jacob) is part of the love triangle that is Bella Edward Jacob. Edward secretly loves Jacob but won't blow off Bella cause then it wouldn't appeal to most conservative people (ie the southwest excluding california) while jacob loves bella cause she has a rocking bod and wants to make lots of little puppies with her, while bella loves edward because of all the attention he shows her trying to keep his gay fantasies of jacob hidden beneath a tapestry of lies and overt heterosexuality.

Edward is gay for real?
Thats hilarious!
No wonder he sparkles in the sun!

If you eat lots of garlic, and then fart does it hurt/kill vamps?

I'm afraid of Beal now. I go to school just down the street from it and we occasionally have mobs of the fethers...
