One of Buffy's few redeeming character was Spike. Then he turned into a pussy. Ladies and gentleman, the poster boy for "badass decay".

Yeah, neo-vampires blow beyond all reasoning. My girlfriend 'hates' Twilight but has read them all and insists on seeing the movies, which means that I get to see the movies too. In her defense I guess, she's consistant in hating on the books but enjoying the movies, so I guess I sort of have to give it to her, but damnation are vampires so crappy these days. In New Moon (I know, I'm sorry) there were the, like elder vampire council whose name I can't recall, but it was cool sounding (Volteri? Maybe?) and my girlfriend assured me they'd be cool, and they weren't. They looked like one of the old vaudville bits where someone yelled "MAkeup!" and was subsequently hit in the face with the powder puff.

Actually, Buffy season 8 (the "official" continuation of the storyline in comics) is currently pretty bad. One of the last few issues was 24 pages of Buffy and Angel - "them %#&*ing" as the writer so elegantly titled it - indeed having sex randomly interspersed with expositional dialogue from the supporting cast.

re: vid: PFFFF that was hilarious!!

Let's not be too narrowminded. I mean, yeah, Stephanie Meyer, but...there are others who are doing...THINGS to vampires. Like Charlaine Harris's books which are the True Blood series on TV.

Well, they're KINDA related.

for what its worth, i like Supernatural's take on vampires.

they can day walk(sunlight is like a really bad sunburn), they mate for life, they can only be killed by beheading, or poisoned with dead mans blood (as in blood from a dead person)

Vampires have really take a different turn in the last 15-20 years (maybe more?). For the readers out there I highly suggest Brahm Stoker's Dracula (i.e. the 'original' book). It portrays vampires much more like they used to be "back in the day".

I have told my neices the only good Vampire movie to see from my pov is Interveiw with a Vampire

I forgot about Int. w/ a Vampire - that is really good!

Buffy was a pretty good show, but I never liked Sara Michelle Geller. I can't really explain why. She just had this bitchy, evil vibe, kind of like Shannon Doherty.

Funny, but I think the japanese animes (Hellsing, Vampire Hunter D) are the closest to the original vampire concept.

Umm... NO, they're not. The original European vampire concept is a disgusting, bloated corpse.

"Vampires were usually reported as bloated in appearance, and ruddy, purplish, or dark in color; these characteristics were often attributed to the recent drinking of blood. Indeed, blood was often seen seeping from the mouth and nose when one was seen in its shroud or coffin and its left eye was often open. It would be clad in the linen shroud it was buried in, and its teeth, hair, and nails may have grown somewhat, though in general fangs were not a feature."

As for their abilities, they didn't originally exhibit any super human powers, either. They were just blood feeding corpses.

I've yet to see an anime(or ANY show, really) do that.

The attractive vampire with the ability to climb walls, turn into bats, hypnotize, and other powers they're attributed with is more of a development in the 18th Century when the actual word Vampire was coined and they were used as a literary expression of repressed sexuality.

The fact that the quote says ".....and its left eye is often open" is priceless.

I really don't care one way or the other about this subject, and I have no attachment to any certain "type" of vampire. Seriously, they all suck!

^^Lol^

I hated Buffy. And I hate Twilight.

My favourite Vampire interpretation Legacy of Kain, beast like evolving bloodsucking assh*les - awesome.

And the old school Vamps the originals where more like the modern interpretation of Zombies, as in corpses that where infected with a contagious illness.

Stormwolf wrote:Heh, I guess we can all agree that the vampires got gayed up and the werewolves got castrated.

Twilight f*cked up our most beloved horror icons.

Just look at this:

Things used to be about alcohol, drugs and sex when I was a teen, but nowadays it's about vampires and werewolves, WTF!!??

Really, getting high or having sex would be therapeutic for these guys.

Guess I'm getting old because I don't get the kids nowadays.

The f**k? Seriously the F**k?

"Gangs are just posers that want to gather attention!
And you're not trying to do that? F**k. :BANG_HEAD:

Same here. And I agree with your 'description' too.

After having just sat through three seasons of this nonsense, I can safely say Buffy isn't about vampires and monsters but is actually about which characters want to sleep with each other. The MsOTD are really just minor inconveniences, as far as I can see, because the love drama seems to dominate every other thread of plot...

I like a bit of romance in my fiction just as much, if not more, than the next person, but Buffy just comes off as excessive for a show that is meant to be about the supernatural.

It really makes me dislike it...

Wow! I also saw a shirt of bela lugosi holding edwards disembodied head.

I recommend the Cirque Du Freak series for good vampire books. Darren Shan takes a great approach to Vampires.

Anyone going to see Vampires Suck?
