forgottenbennetTo start off with this entry is just to let off steam (which may or may not be shooting out of my ears right about now) on my behalf.
Unlike some self-professed "Experts" who think their opinion is "God's Word" (Don't worry folks it's no one on my friends list. Nor am I talking about a snotty Austen fan site) I actually appreciate most Vampire movies/books I see/read (Twilight and it's progeny being the exception of course. Can't stand the books and to a certain extent to movies are actually amusing but not in the ways the Author/screenplay writers intended them to be "Here's your garden burger, Stephanie!" hah!).
I'm talking about a certain person on IMDb on a vampire movie message board who refuses to believe that, yes, some people can actually like a different canon than the first movie (Am I dropping enough clues? lol) I personally prefer to think of it as a bit of an AU when compared to the first. (As is some of the same things may have happened but not all) I say to this person "Shut Up! and let people like what they like without turning you nose down at us (repeatedly, loudly, and often all over the 'net! Many time used the same argument copied and pasted with the occasional revision) It's been almost 8 YEARS since the movie was released! Chill the fuck out already!
*ahem* Yes, well that felt good to say/type and in case you're wondering I'm typing this while I wait for SGU to come on (Pathetic. yes I know but I'm got to keep up with 'canon' just in case for whatever reason I should feel like writing SG-1 fic again (or continue as the case may be)
So! A list of my Favorite vampire movies (in not particular order unless otherwise noted)
Queen of the Damned
Let the Right One In
Blade
Van Helsing
Underworld (I'm counting all the movies an one)
Bram Stoker's Dracula
LXG (League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which is not technically a vampire movie but it DOES have a vampire in it so I'm counting it)
Interview with the Vampire (I like it well enough, despite Tom Cruise chronic-overacting((which I don't believe even 'Lestat' himself, in the books, was ever THAT bad)) but to me it belongs on the bottom of my list)
I'm judging this on my DVD collection and I can't remember ever Vampire movie I've ever seen but these are, in my opinion, top notch
And as an added bonus I recently,for the first time read this fabulous little short story by Neil Gaiman where Snow White isn't as innocent as she seems to be.
And as for the entry title?
I just think PPZ is awesome and Twilight is not.
Snow, Glass, Apples
