Quote from: ☠PirateClock☠;1695323Buffy/Angel, True Blood, Underworld and Blade where all before Twilight.

And there's those Darren Shan books that hit my school like a tidal wave. There's also Trinity Blood, the sadly sort-lived Van Helsing craze, Blood Rayne, Legacy of Kain, Dracula 2000, and the list goes on. Not to mention the annoyingly large amount of teenagers who seem to think they are vampires, even before Meyer wrote those God-awful books.

As much as Stephanie Meyer would like to think that she has brought back Vampires to modern culture, the fact remains that they never really left. All she did was poke the vein a little.

Quote from: Poltergeist;1695228Vampires srt of have a ten-year fad going on where they're popular for a while then fade out of popular culture for ten years.

You just described literally everything


Also,
Why is everyone getting so wound up about this?! They're a few shitty films that are gonna be top of the charts for a little bit and then they'll fade out.
THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS
The fact that it's beating your favourite movie means nothing and in fact should be expected because the shit always rises. Music charts, movie charts, book sales, tv ratings. The crappiest of shit with the widest mass appeal will always be the most purchased. If your favourite films/music/books/tv shows are just the top sellers, you are a moron with boring taste. You all know this!
The Dark Knight was a rare occasion of the best also being the most popular.

Wanna know how I sleep at night knowing that bad films like Twilight and New Moon are successful? I ignore it and watch stuff that I like instead.

S'pretty easy

Buffy is more than ten years late to have started the fad.

Yes because everything is fixed by ignoring a problem.

Quote from: ☠PirateClock☠;1695323Buffy/Angel, True Blood, Underworld and Blade where all before Twilight.

But Twilight made people care, it's undeniable. People stopped caring after Buffy, True Blood only got greenlit because of twilight popularizing vamps

Quote from: Evil Robot Ted;1695441Yes because everything is fixed by ignoring a problem.

What exactly are you doing to fix it? Ranting on the internet?

It's not a great social injustice or violation of human rights. It's a shit film

Either ignore it or get to work and make better stuff.
S'the only way

Hey man if middle aged women are allowed to bitch about Call of Duty im allowed to bitch about Twilight!

Quote from: ☠PirateClock☠;1695452Hey man if middle aged women are allowed to bitch about Call of Duty im allowed to bitch about Twilight!

That's a total double standard. Surely you'd rather they didn't rant and rave about video games and attempt to have them banned etc?

Quote from: Evil Robot Ted;1695453That is EXACTLY what you do.

Wait I'm confused now

Quote from: SnakeClock;1695169

Not by a long shot.

Try The Vampyre by John Palidori.

Everyone rips everyone off get over it. The twilight series doesn't suck because it's a rip off. Everything is a rip off. It sucks because it was badly written. I can't believe you guys have been talking about twilight for 4 pages. Get over it, something stupid is popular. Go make something better.

The clock crew should come together and collectively make a superior vampire movie. I call producer!

Dibs the broodingly handsome villain that all the girls want to bang

I call director!

I call the clichéd main character.

I call the Van Helsing figure.

I call sexy expert vampire hunter that eventually learns a valuable lesson about being humble and accepting the help of others!

I call rape scene

I call vampire expert who dies just before he can relay important information to the protagonist but it's alright coz he left clues leading to the information he was just going to tell you just incase he died right about then

I call Bill Murray
