Well, all you need to do is check out the educational level of the poster. Age 9 maybe, held back a couple grades possibly?
He's not only unable to spell or form a coherent sentence, but in a deeper level, he cannot harness his mind toward a single cogent thought in the first place. Were you able to pin him down on specific movies (some he thought were good are actually good of course) and query him as to WHY a particular movie was good or bad, you could have him tied up in knots. But it would actually end up boring and he'd be useless, like you poking a slug with a stick for amusement. Not a lot of bang for the buck. So we usually take types like that and sit them in their bedrooms till mommy says it's time to come out. When they get older they find their way into bars to get tossed out of. That I remember from bartending in my college days. There are plenty like him, mostly harmless.

I could make this a regular segment...
Here is another tale from the annals of "IT CAME FROM ANOTHER FORUM!" Now in this other forum I see an anti-twilight thread every day (I don't like Twilight, but the more times I have to hear about it the less those threads would help). This one in particular was wondering where all the original vampire movies. This thread had a decent amount of activity, but one post that kind of got my goat was this (I'll bold what really got my attention): "not being defensive or anything, but it is basically impossible to have an original vampire movie nowadays...with the original vampire in it. the only "original" vampire movie that's come out recently was twilight and that's only original because they sparkle. lulzz. and to add to that, a lot of the first vampire movies (Nosferatu, a lot of Dracula with Bela Lugosi) are really boring because in the time that they were made, censorship was A LOT different than today and they didn't have the proper tools to create a well-made movie compared to recent times."

Ha some people have no idea :D
In regard to the vampire flicks having originality I don't think it's impossible. They are few and far between that's for sure but one's I'd consider to be different and original would be Martin (really changed the shape of how a vampire movie can be handled), Near Dark, The Hunger and From Dusk Till Dawn. Hell even Blade. The most notable recent one would be Let the Right One In. True Blood's take on things is quite original too IMO. I think vampire films will get darker as the decade goes on. I'm suprised there hasn't been more of a downbeat/bleak trend after Let the Right One In.

Bitten is a good vampire flick. It didn't feel like your run-of-the-mill type fanger, plus I'm a sucker for anything with Jason Mewes.

I saw that in the store the other day and was wondering if it was any good. I like Mewes too so I might give it a spin.

I'm not a huge fan of the vampire genre of film but I really dug Bitten. I'm also a bit fond of True Blood.

I'm quite behind on True Blood. Started on season 1 but never finished it because I got sidetracked by Sons Of Anarchy.
