oh gosh
i've always been fascinated by the vampire genre since i was young.
there are the action-packed ones, like those old chinese movies with hopping vampires and yellow talisman, and the blade series. merciless killers that will stop at nothing to suck your blood, or intelligent psychopathic killers that will also stop at nothing to suck your blood.
as i grew older, my tastes gravitated towards the romanticised ideas of vampires. immortal beings walking the earth for eternity, cursed to be both human and monster. to be so tired of this world that their death just seems so much more appealing.
i never really got deep into it though. i read christopher pike's the last vampire in secondary school and found it quite nice, and when i was younger i watched bits of interview with the vampire on tv, which was what got me interested in the romanticised vampires.
and then along came the fucking abomination that is TWILIGHT. holy shit it was terrible. i didn't enter the cinema with high expectations, or any expectations at all. sure the books were popular as hell, but i once read a page and decided that it was shit.
the movie couldn't be that much different, could it? holy shit it exceeded all my expectations. it was so bad that midway through the movie i actually felt myself getting really angry that these movie producers thought that it was alright to sell this piece of shit to us.
like for fuck's sake, somewhere along the whole chain from the earliest production to the final review, someone, somewhere must have realised that it was a complete piece of shit right? NO! it still made it all the way through.
that movie alone turned me off all the recent spate of vampire series that everyone's crazy about. i figured that they all came out because of the popularity of twilight to ride on its coattails, and if twilight sucked so so so bad, these couldn't be too far behind.
so yeah, fuck all of them. true blood, vampire diaries, what else? blame it all on that fucking twilight.
