When did Vampires become "in"?

Was it when Cruise & Pitt did their movie?

Over the last several years, Vampires seem to be hot! I think every channel this Fall will have a Vampire TV show!

I don't get it. Used to be, you just wanted to kill them. Now women want to f*** them.

It's because they sparkle in the sun now.

When fat and/or socially retarded girls attached their hopes and dreams to yet another fantasy.

It just seems strange that 3-4 years ago CBS tried 2 different Vampire TV shows and they both flopped. Forever Night was one of them, I think. One even had Rick Springfield in it.

Dracula would be proud. No more revolting peasants (In more ways than one! LOL) No more burned at the stake or Wesley Snipes trying to cut their heads off!

Rice ruined the vampire. The vampire was a great villain until she decided an emo monster was just what the public needed. Lace and overblown dramatics, hands almost stitched to their angst-filled foreheads.

Talk about Dracula does the suburbs. What next from her? Hipster Werewolves? Granola Mummies?

Our society's fascination with vampires comes and goes. I find it interesting to think about how our society views two very different forms of the undead: zombies and vampires.

Zombies and vampires are both undead creatures that (for the most part) transfer their undeadness through biting, so there are some similarities. But they are also incredibly different. I think people enjoy watching vampire movies because they represent everything they wish they could have -- money, power, respect, sex, life immemorial. By contrast, the zombie genre embodies everything we detest about humanity -- consumerism; the undead, soulless life; our animalistic nature.

Naturally, then, we glorify vampires and show zombies as the repulsive, decaying creatures they (and by extension we) are. Zombies are what we are, vampires are what we wish to be.

      We have to figure out our future core team

      By KaijuGato · Posted

      This is that desperate way of thinking. Yes, can Ward and Sanders might be the top two quarterbacks going into next year‘s draft but that is only a small part of the rebuild phase for this team. You’re talking about switching back to a 43 defense and going out and trying to get a 43 edge rusher, but we’re gonna have a hard time finding that in free agency versus going after them in the draft. There is a lot more defensive players on the front end of this upcoming draft and there is decent offensive players. So if we can get into bed with a team that falls in love with one of these quarterbacks we can potentially get a hall of draft picks if we trade back.  Then we start building that defense and a gap quarterback for the time being. There is a lot more quarterbacks that are worth more in the 2026 draft and there is this year‘s draft so if we play the game and keep building this team up that way a rookie quarterback can succeed in year one and not hope to succeed in your two or three with a  treacherous year one. A good run game and a good defense helps a rookie quarterback extremely. Hopefully with Brooks, the run game will be secured and if we use next year‘s free agency and draft to secure the defense, a rookie quarterback in 2026 can be successful.

      Pssssstttt.... Hey Tepper ..

      Of all the fancy tools used in player evaluation, it ALWAYS comes down to the eye test. Far, far from perfect but it is still the most reliable test going. This team under Tep has repeatedly ignored that one most. Crucial. Aspect. It’s like they lose the forest through the trees. Analytics works… when the data inputs are complete. Problem is that there will always be variables that are unique to that particular situation.

      No, we don't need to see Bryce Young again

      No, we don't need to play him anymore.  It is like needles to the eyes to constantly see him just suck, it reminds us more and more of the debacle we are in. Just cut bait with the bum. he is not NFL starter material.
