As far as going for the cheerleader… that would be a mistake for the vamps as cheerleaders or the popular kids would be noticed as missing if eaten etc… So in some way it makes sense that the vamps would go after the outcasts or the ones that are under the radar.
My daughter loves the series, I guess because in school she was not one of the most popular yet she wasn’t the outcast as well, somewhere in between. Anyway I promised her that I would watch New Moon and go see Eclipse when it comes out. I have often gone to chick flicks with my daughter as a father and daughter outing.
My kids are growing up quickly and I don’t want them to remember me as a Dad that didn’t take interest into what they wanted to do. She knows it is not my “type” of movie however she has gone to see other movies with me like the Jurassic Park series, Star Wars, Holloween and Ironman to name a few. We live outside the city and so I think the best time is the 30 min ride there and back when we can talk.

I have enough testosterone to get me through it. ;)[/quote]
Look, this is NOT the place for touching stories of fatherhood showing that you are a great person and should likely be respected. Please take your pleasant ideas and great public expression of emotion, along with your ability to show you really care for your kids, to places that like that sort of stuff.
For the record, if you can’t tell, your post was cool as hell.

That was nice and touching (seriously) - in fact, I’m wishing that you had somehow had a large hand in the book/film’s editing process since I can tell just by one post that you write considerably better than Step Meyer.
And until today I didn’t realise that she had read/watched almost nothing Vampiric. What a way to hijack and fuck up an incredibly rich and powerful literary creation.

What a twat.[/quote]
Well said. You can NOT do vampires and leave out; religion, sex, murder, blood, night or the aversion to sunlight.
This woman reduced all of these issues until it was safe for the Hanna Montana crowd.
They might as well have done a movie based on that vampire from Sesame Street.

I have read more than my fair share of romance novels, but they used to be the good kind; the 18 year old over-privileged yet fiercely independent girl and the 35 year old warlord who must break her spirit in order for her to achieve total ecstasy. Ah, the good ole days.[/quote]
Isn’t that just rape? Kind of like in one of the Twilight books.
PX…I watched Lost Boys recently. It could maybe be included into “movies that should have sucked but didn’t”. Really good movie…those mullets were brutal though lol.

Lost Boys was a hit when it came out…among GUYS in the 80’s and girls who thought the leads looked cool. Kiefer Sutherland pretty much guarantees a movie is worth watching just by being in it. That is what put him on the map leading to everything else he is now known well for.
It was an 80’s movie though so people comparing it directly to 2010 would be lost just like people who judge the movie Goonies by today’s standards.
Goonies was a certifiable hit when it first came to movie theaters but many today might find it overly silly.
80’s movies have to be seen in the context of other 80’s movies. That is why The Breakfast Club is still cool even though many of us might avoid a movie like that today.
I know one thing…the day Ferris Bueller’s Day Off is seen as silly and irrelevant I will know it is time for me to die.[/quote]
This post demands more respect then anything I have seen you post about bodybuilding in the past 3 years.
The Count would not even be seen with that Twilight group.
I’m with you on Lost Boys I still watch it. The other Bueller, Breakfast Club stuff. Just was not my thing. but the Lost Boys was and is still very Watchable.

I treat a lot of kids. SEVERAL patients had been going on and on about this movie and because I wanted to see what the hype was about, I got it. Now, I want to take the dvd out into the middle of the street and set on fire after running over it 25 times in my car.[/quote]
Really? You really had to watch this horseshit to know it sucks beyond imagination?

GASP!! You just do NOT know what you are missing! I was on the edge of my seat the entire 20 minutes that I tolerated this movie. The adrenaline just kept on pumping as the main character…learned to ride a dirt bike. When she accelerated, my heart accelerated with her!!![/quote]
I bet you didn’t see Jacob taking his shit off to stop the bleeding of Bella’s head!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
[/quote]
Oh MY Gawd, she was like bleeding everywhere and he, like the GOD he is, took his shirt off to stop her from bleeding to death!!! OH, I just melted as I reached for the remote and turned it off.[/quote]
I think I’m sensing a little jealousy professor! Did you really hate the movie that much or are you bitter cuz Jacob is more functional and has nicer abs then you? Dont be a hater man!

A little history lesson for y’all on the origin of the vampire myth (Dracula, to be exact):
Once upon a time in the 1400s, there was a blood-thirsty ruler of Wallachia. His castle is located in present day Transylvania, a region of Romania. His name was Vlad III, but everyone lovingly referred to him as Vlad the Impaler, which stems from his favourite method of execution. Anyone who dared cross him or his laws would swiftly receive a sharpened pole up their ass, carefully navigated through their internal organs and finally out their mouths. Now that’s what I call a BMF.
He struck fear in the hearts of fellow countrymen and enemies alike. It is told that an invading army of Ottomans turned back at the sight of 20,000 impaled corpses. Or that nobody would pick up a bag of coins off the ground lest they be labeled a thief and be executed.
Then Bram Stoker wrote his novel some few hundred years later, where he writes of a blood-sucking fairy character named Dracula, after Vlad’s father’s name Dracul, which means “the devil” in Romanian.
And that’s my 2/100 of a dollar.

That is indeed where the author got inspiration for the Dracula novel however the myth itself has roots in slavick folklore well before that. The original myth is believed to be an explanation of a disease at the type where peoples blood couldn’t make appropriate amounts of hemoglobin making them pale and sickly the paleness made them very susceptible to burns from the sun. And the myth was slowly created from that. The original myth had vampires be disfigured monsters who needed to drink blood and consume humans, not aristocrats, that was with the dracula novels.
