    Just got back from watching this movie. Yes, there were some acting issues on part of the two boys, but man was I surprised. I had a great time watching it and am hoping for a sequel #vampiresassistant

    I don't care how badly it is made/acted/etc. Just by sheer design it will obviously be more watchable than Twilight. Meh, I'll rent it (something I've never even considered doing with Twilight.) #vampiresassistant

    Can we please stop turning vampires into pussies? Whatever happened to badass vampires that actually want to kill people? #vampiresassistant

    I have a high hope for this movie.

    For the record, I really don't get the people who love Twilight. It was a messy melodrama sprinkled with vampire pixie dust. After reading the Host and the first book, I decided that the writer and series weren't for me. #vampiresassistant

    I'm all for unusual-looking people being sex symbols, that's always neat... But John C. Reilly? As Mr. Sexy Vampire Guy? Really? The man kind of looks like a Cabbage Patch Vampire. #vampiresassistant

    Every time you call John C. Reilly sexy, I throw up in my mouth a little.

    And I think you made "Vampaneze" up. You could tell me Vampaneze is in the movie. You could show me clips of the movie in which someone is actually making sounds that sound like Vampaneze. Heck, you can send gorillas to my house to kidnap me and force me into a movie theater seat to actually watch people say Vampaneze in the film. But I still will not believe. To believe that is to believe in a world in which such a thing is allowed to happen. #vampiresassistant

    @Daumier: I agree with you about "Vampaneze."

    Wasn't that part of the Mixed Race Flow Chart that Mo'Nique's character presented when she went on Springer in the 2005 film Domino?

    Call me a moron but I still think that the original talking vampire film with Bela Lugosi is the best one done.
    For one thing an interesting fact is my family on my father's side is from the southern Carpathian Mts. & Northern Transyl;vania and this region was in the old Austro-Hungarian Empire.Bela is also from Hungary and has the proper accent which is his own not faked and Dracula was from Transylvania/Romania so the way of Bela's voice was awesome .Sounded like my relatives broken English. #vampiresassistant

    saying things in french is 'fancy?' i'm sure the french would be glad to hear you say that.

    sounds like a perfect renter/netflixer/torrenter flick for a saturday night with nothing else to do. #vampiresassistant

    I really don't know how to feel about this movie:
    On one hand I read these growing up and I remember liking them, and I don't think they'll be able to pull it off, so that's one strike against the movie. Next up this movie has been talked about since 2005-2006 and while I forgot about it until now, now that it's brought back up I'm getting all anxious again - that's two. Third, there's John C. Reilly. I'm not saying he's a bad actor - at comedy. But I've never seen him in a dramatic role, so I don't know if he'll be able to pull it off. And finally it's another goddamn vampire movie. I just want to stake them all and get on to the next fad.

    But in the movie's favor, it's based on books I liked, and it's got John C. Reilly in it!

    Aw Christ, I know I'll probably see it anyway and if I don't like it I'll probably torrent the Riffed version to yell at it. #vampiresassistant

    I'm really curious about how this movie will do. There are both plusses and minuses to it. They're advertising it during The Vampire Diaries so word is getting to the target audience; on the other hand, I didn't think the trailers/clips looked that good. I've heard it takes great liberties with the source material, and that will probably turn off fans of the series off. Then again, I've never read the books and pretty much all you have to say to me is "Vampires+Circus" and I'm interested. Aside from that, I think it's still under promoted, but opening wide and it is close to Halloween so there may be "let's go see something spooky" factor going for it.

    On www.hsx.com it's not trending very well right now and is dropping in prace, at the same time both the $10 call and put options are going up. Basically this means that even the market savvy HSX players can't call this one. Break out the magic 8-ball!

    My very vague guess is that it'll open at about 15 million and then curl up and blow away. If I'm wrong, it'll probably totally tank and do 5 mil.

    Dafoe was excellent in 'Shadow of the Vampire'. His character describing the book 'Dracula' as sad was very touching.
