Ok so while on my search for what I do like, I will tell you what I don't like.
America's current obsession with vampires. I'm sorry, I'll rephrase. America's current love affair with vampires.
I swear, try as I may I cannot escape it! It's everywhere... and NOT in a good way. I can't STAND the damn Twilight series (do you KNOW what happens in those books? What the hell kind of values is that woman [who can't write at all] promoting???) and now I keep seeing these ads for The Vampire Diaries... ok... isn't that EXACTLY Twilight, just now on the crappy CW? God. Why why why.
And then while I was channel surfing, I came across Buffy the Vampire Slayer (the early 90s movie that I happen to love, incidentally), and that got me thinking. What sparked this romanticism with vampires? No one is scared of them anymore like they are supposed to be... they just all want to fall in love with one now.
So weird.
And I'm so over it.

People have always romanticized vampires. Dracula was a love story, afterall.
ReplyDeleteTouché. But at least Dracula was done well. And interesting.
ReplyDeletetouché back atcha. I'm definitely tired of the trendiness of vampires. All this Twilight/ True Blood nonsense. Even though I'm actually fairly entertained by True Blood, as cheesy as that may be.
