Vampires

So...CNN has an article on vampires, which I won't be copying and pasting here, however just can go and read the whole thing here: "From Dracula to Edward, the changing face of vampires", anyways, there are a couple of things that made me LOL and want more vampires:

(bold for my fave remarks)

"And it doesn't hurt that all these characters just so happen to be devastatingly handsome men and women," Woerner said. "They're beautiful and mysterious."
She contrasted early movie vampires with Eric Northman, the tall, Nordic bad-boy vampire from HBO's "True Blood."

"You want to be scared by ['Nosferatu's'] Count Orlock, and then you want him to go away," she said. "Eric, you want to spend all night with."

Ari's Note: Oh yes, please!!

"I do see a sense of the threatening vampire coming back," he said. "I think people are tired of the 'castrated' vampire, but that tends to be the adults 18 and up rather than the students who are reading 'Twilight' in high school and consider it the apex of romantic fiction."

A/N: Finally! I mean...veggie vamps?? *rolls eyes*

On the captions of some of the pics:

Pic 7 - The Lost Boys- "The movies tagline?--"Sleep all day. Party all night. Never grow old. Never die. It's fun to be a vampire""

A/N: Exactly!

Pic 10 - Interview with the Vampire" - "Louis is the great-uncle of "Twilight's Edward Cullen - at odds with what he's become and clinging desperately to his decency and humanity"
A/N: Priceless. Though I admit I'd've loved to read Louis transition from sassy to the predator Akasha describes on "Queen of the Damned" (book, not movie, thx)
Pic 12 -Let the Right One In - "This chilling fil features Eli [...] it makes her both monstrous and sympathetic[...]"

A/N: I SO love Eli.

Because my love for vampires is like the slogan from Coppola's Dracula: "never dies"


Yes...I should keep on working. Back home tonight :D
