Twillight made me do it...

[secondlina]

For those who don't know:
Meyer = Twillight / Hamilton = Anita Blake Vampire Hunter / Wedon = Buffy the vampire slayer / Rice = Interview with a vampire / Stoker = Dracula.

Look! I managed to combine vampire jokes, back to the future jokes and a much delayed "wow, americans finally woke up and elected someone decent how the hell did that happen?" joke (no offence to americans, it's just Bush made your country look terrible. Don't feel too bad, we still have our "Bush" here in Canada, aka Harper art killer, worse prime misniter for arts ever.)

I'm on fire.

As far as Twillight goes, my opinion is thus; I was hoping the movie would be better then the book. I did not enjoy the book, though I understand why some would (angst, vampires, true love, heck, that's easily best seller material if you insert the right words in between) and I was hoping the director would have enough artistic inspiration to make it better. But honestly, I think I preffered suffering thru the book rather then the movie (bad, bad acting. Pretty graphics though.) The movie felt like a fanfic re-telling of the original story or something. So yeah, if you're a twillight fan, don't expect too much from the movie and stick to your book. If you hate twillight, don't spend money to go see the movie. If you really want to laugh at it, rent it. In the privacy of you own home, you can make a drinking game out of it.

Oh and for those who wonder, I don't like Ann Rice either. Vampire angst is not my thing. I prefer how Wedon potrays them; savage beasts with one or two smarter alpha males. Cuz really, they are under, savage killing machines and Louis is a weepy annoyance.

I'm also addicted to the new Disney film Wall-e. I watched the thing twice, got the soundtrack and even asked a friend of mine (aka Diane, my Disneyworld park-working minion) to fetch me some wall-e and Eve plushies. Wall-e is incredible in so many ways, and it's the cutest love story i've seen in ages. Yay, Pixar robotic love.

Just a reminder you kids: Comic book shoppe, sunday november 30th... There's a comic book Gala featuring yours truly among some super artists. Be there or be square (if you are physically in the area)!

I think vampires are made to be all sex.

Hmm...I wonder if that applies to werewolves too then?

They're rather similar in that they can use sex as a way to lure a person so they can be turned into a werewolf. Also, vampires and werewolves can be both seen as predators. Although werewolves are can be pitied more because, in a lot of stories, they're humans who don't want to turn into uncontrollable beasts (yes I'm thinking of Lupin here).

Although, I think vampires would probably be more connected to sex just because I can see vampires being more mysterious and seductive than werewolves. *ponders*

Werewolves would be much more about predation than about sex. In human form, sure, they could use their charm to woo a lady. But, full moon comes out, and chances are the woman isn't thrilled about her charmer suddenly becoming very hairy, and the sharp teeth wouldn't help the werewolf's cause much, either...

(As for whether or not a werewolf fears becoming a werewolf, it really depends on if they're a natural were or not. Natural weres -those born into it- can keep their wits about them after the change. Those who are weres due to infection -being bitten- have little to no chance of keeping their wits about them, so they're more likely to fear becoming werewolves.)

Man oh man, I am a nerd...
