well I didnt know what you were sayin    I thought maybe you like Brad or something, but he's not the worse...
what about PeeWee Herman?

Innocent Blood by John LAndis  Female vamp vs the Mafia. Anne  Parillaud (femme nikita) was the lead and while she is a sweet little french pastry, the movie sucked.

How true. Even a cameo by Forrest J Ackerman couldn't save this one.

Bloodz Vs Wolves. I guess it's not THAT bad because it has some blood and gore but un-holey crap,what a one time view.

[BlackLagoon]

It's got Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in it. Right there, it sucks. All it needed was Keanu Reeves to complete the Trinity Of Suckiness.

I actually like Interview.

1st like Wicked said you have to "understand" where it's comming from...it's not Dracula and it's not Blade.

The other thing is I think alot of people will disregard it as a true vampire film because theres a few pretty boys in it.

I think they both did a fantastic job and it was a really enjoyable film.

If this was 10-15 years ago, hardcore horror guys would bash Lost Boys too......another movie that I thought was cool as hell.

Interview was ok, but aside from Aaliyah, Queen of the Damned was lame.

Lost Boys is one of my top ten late 80's horror films. F" Michael/Jason and Freddy. This was just plain FUN.

I am completely at a loss as to why those who like this film seem to labor under the assumption that those of us who do not are somehow incapable of "getting it".........which has become a repeated theme.

Rest assured, I "get it". It doesn't require any specialized intellectual or artistic acumen to "get it".  BTW, I love "Lost Boys". I "got it" there too.

I simply don't enjoy seeing vampires portrayed with palpably homoerotic overtones. "Interview With A Vampire" is nothing more than "Brokeback Mountain" with fangs. THAT is the milieu in which Anne Rice's vampires dwell.

Yup, I "get it". And I'd be willing to endure a cycle of penicillin to get rid of it.

A couple points on Interview..

I didn't rave about ,just said it wasn't that bad. Do I own it? No.
Would I watch it if I caught on cable? Probably.
I've read the book 3 or 4 times since H.S.
Aside from this I am not much of a fan of Anne Rice. Just couldn't get into her style.
And believe it or not I know quite a few horror fans that have never attempted to read her stuff considering how popular she is. Actually I wouldn't even classify it as horror. My wife thinks it's closer to paranormal romance/supernatural erotica tho she is not a fan either.

There obviously are all kinds of vampires and I'll watch almost any type of vampire movie ,except Twilight,but I prefer my vampires to be cruel and nasty.

[Wicked Lester]

Here are a few more on the crappola list.

BloodRayne
Dracula 3000
The Hunger
Love at First Bite

[Wicked Lester]

Here's a few more I dug out of my stinker box.

Shower of Blood
Vampire Sisters
Blood Sisters

T&A couldn't even help these.

HA!! Don't even get me STARTED on Twilight!!

I liked The Hunger, a different, sensual vampire movie. I liked how Bowie started aging and Denevue went after Sarandon for her next mate.

BloodRayne I didn't finish. What a waste of time.

The Lost Boys is a classic.

Here's another bad one: Vampz. The women were fine, but the movie?....

I just got Mrs. Amworth in from NetFlix. It's a low budget vampire movie, anybody seen it? The cover got me.
