Frankly, I just don't get it. Maybe it's a generational thing, but I doubt it. I never understood the appeal of the cliched vampire myth. And when I look at clips of this movie, I see bad TV actors and gratuitous special effects.
My favorite quote regarding Twilight was said by Brett Erlich from the Totally Rad Show - "Twilight's like soccer. They run around for 2 hours, nobody scores and its billions of fans insist you just don't understand".
Not a Vampire MoviejohlwylandJuly 14 2010, 17:15:21 UTC
I just don't understand why people keep calling it a vampire movie. There are no vampires in it. There are no werewolves in it either.
I haven't read any of the books, nor have I seen the other movies. All I know is that when I see the previews for Eclipse with ZOMG THE BIG BATTLE.... all I see are some pale kids and some dogs.
When a werewolf shifts form, they are supposed to be FUCKING SCARY. An unstoppable killing machine that is half-human, half-wolf THING. Giant claws and a maw filled with razor sharp teeth that can walk upright.
That fight scene? Big fucking deal. So these not-a-vampires are supposed to be super strong and super fast... and they are fighting... dogs? The not-a-werewolves shape-shifted into their worst possible fighting form? The one where they are half the size of their opponent, have no opposable thumbs and only one weapon (a mouth)? Seriously?

Grats on Kingslayer...months belatedly, but still. I've had a 10-man get to Sindy, but we failed on the 2nd night trying and then never seemed to come together again. I'm happy in my guild but we have these random fallow moments where plans to keep runs going...don't continue. Anyway, there's a 10man on Friday and a 25 man the day after, so we'll see what happens. I did get my blue side warrior to 80, and one short of the 4 piece t9 set, but I still don't have as much a handle on DPS as I do with my hunter, and the sheer amount of time I'd have to spend to get up to geared for ICC is a bit daunting at the moment. I get on runs with alts, then I get bored and move on to something else

Thank you thank you!!
As you said, I'm keeping it real on the FB of late, so we'll catch up on there. I'm currently working on 80 number...uh...8, I think? My goal is to get all 10 of my characters (one of each class) to 80 before Cataclysm. :D
