VAMPIRES DON'T SPARKLE discussion

I love Pam, Jessica, Jason and LALA, they make me laugh.


I will say that I feel this is one of those rare occasions where the TV/Movie is better than the source material. I read books 1-4 and just gave up.

I think what makes the show so great is that the characters are all so complex.

My favorite characters would have to be Bill Compton, Eric is cool, Sookie Stackhouse of course, and oh yeah...Lafayette is aweome.

I love the books and the show ( I am we'll behind on the show though ). It's gritty, dark and violent which I love. I have to also confess I love the other supernatural species in the show I get my fix all in one place

LOVE Pam! And Eric! and Alcide....

I love the books and, don't worry, I'm behind on the show too. I don't get HBO so I buy all the seasons on DVD. And I've read the first book.

i love the way the show present them. bloody, cruel and free from prejudices and ethics.total decadent.

I have the first season of this on DVD and I still haven't watched it. Am I missing out?

Yes, Holly, go watch that shit!! LOL.

On third season n loveing it!!!

It's funny Eric is my fave. Team Eric!!

Lol Dan, I will!!

Watch The Walking Dead too...oh wait, you already do. LOL.

I haven't seen the walking dead is it any good? Sorry off topic a little.

LOL...I actually wasn't that big into zombies either till The Walking Dead came along. Glad you like the pic.

Yup!! Only zombie film I like is dawn of the dead the remake!!

Yeah that was cool.

Only one tho most others fall short walking dead by far the best soo obsessed with it!!

No Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, no True Blood....get to work, Holly!!!

LOL.

Lol, I know, I know. I'm seriously slacking!! Haha

LOL...well we love having you as part of this group, Holly.

Thanks a bunch Dan! I'm very happy to be a part of it! :-)

We love all our members, I'm glad this group is growing and hope it continues to do so.

I'm sure it will. I know that there are a lot of vampire lovers out there.

And Twilight Haters. LOL.

Yes,.those too lol

You know, I love True Blood, but I think the part where they drink the vampire blood to get high is pretty fucking stupid.

Hm... Interesting

I'm currently reading Dead Ad a Doornail by Charlaine Harris and I'm really enjoying it so far. It's really making me want to watch the show all the more!

I agree I don't get that part - though it seems to be a theme if you have watched Moonlight they use vampire blood to get high in that!!

I watched Moonlight too I don't remember that. I remember in Blade The Series they used to take the ashes of dead vampires and snort them to get high.

You know what pisses me off is that in episode 9 of season 4 it shows that Jessica reads Twilight.

Dan wrote: "You know what pisses me off is that in episode 9 of season 4 it shows that Jessica reads Twilight."

Yeah, but I saw that as being more of a joke about Jessica than an endorsement of Twilight. The idea of a genuine vampire reading silly crap like Twilight shows that, in a lot of ways, Jessica still has the mind of a teenage girl.

I guess. But why not have Jessica read Dracula or Salem's Lot??? Fucking teenagers these days...what a pussy generation.

As part of this generation I feel I must defend our reputation. We're not all sissies pining over pansy sparkly vampires. Some of us prefer to pine over manly non sparkly ones Lol!

Jess reading Twilight is more of an ironic joke. The same way Buffy treated Dracula. It's all tongue in cheek.

As to True Blood, I love LaLa who actually dies in the books (I think) but was so popular he was given his own storylines instead. I'm Team Eric all the way and Pam just cracks me up. Vampire blood getting people high is honestly everywhere. It's because mortals react strongly towards blood from a "superior" being or what have you. Yeah it's hokey but if you drank the blood from a creature who had superstrength, immortality, heightened senses and all sorts of other supernatural powers what would you expect?

Having read all the books and seen the series, I have to say that I appreciate them as entirely separate beasts, both to be loved.

The show lacks Bubba, and basically threw the book plot out in season two/three.

Aside from that, Bill is seriously underwhelming, the way he says Sookie is also terribly annoying. Eric is almost as yummy as he should be, but when you look too closely at him, his forehead is frightening, the only one who is as hot in series as he is in type is Jason, hot yummy cakes.

The girls are great, I actually enjoy the series Pam more than the type Pam, her flash backs are some of the most fun, and her outfits and her expressions, not to mention gorgeous.

I don't like the portrayal of Sookie on the series, she's a bit more feisty which I do enjoy, but she also seems to be a bit dumb... or at least gullible, which are traits that shouldn't be found in a mindreader...

I finally started watching this series the other day. LOVE IT!!

So after the last two horrendous seasons I am officially offing this series from my weekly must view list
