Apparently I'm immune to bad sci-fi when it comes to Halloween. Guess what's on TV, Melissa? Here's a hint: monkeyboobs.

That series had good imagery but I think they needed a little more storywork, just on the details, and, uh, a little bit better special effects, haha.

I also watched Blade last night instead of going to bed. Honestly, I do not really understand the appeal of vampires. I mean, I like classic Dracula (YEAH BELA LUGOSI) and the cheese that is Van Helsing. (That is, the new one.)

But, uh, all the modern stories where vampires are some uber-romantic tragedy sort of thing? I just... do noooooot understand it at all.

bahaha... i actually kind of love Buffy. It's really campy, but it kind of makes fun of the typical vampire idea. I mean, sure it's a vampire show, but it's addictive. And hilarious. And only every once in a while is there a whole episode that's serious.
Then again, I enjoyed Twilight too. I guess I know it's cliche, but for some reason it makes me happy =P

I'm sure Buffy's good, I mean, it's Whedon.

But Twilight scares the fucking shit out of me, and it's not well-written to boot.

please don't kill me, twihards

you definitely have a point there. i was actually kind of pissed about how badly written the last book was...

Haha, I try not to be a megabitch about it because honestly, I tried to read it (last year my roommates loved it, so I gave it a go) but it was just boring.

But from not reading the story I have read lots of the snark summaries and it is hard to believe that so many girls admire the story and would be okay with their lives being that way, dream-worlds or not... (If you're reading it as the literary equivalent of a twinkie, then... fair enough. But too many girls take it seriously.) It's just SO anti-feminist that it's rather disturbing. But I try not to talk about that too much.

Plus Twihards are ludicrously obsessive and that in itself is entertaining. ;D

...And if a few other people on my friends list read this I'm going to be attacked, lol!

haha yeah. I was really pissed with Bella most of the beginning - she was such a weakling most of the time. I mean, it got better, but still. I don't know. It was really fluff, but I enjoyed it for what it was.
