Because magic romance zombies in goth makeup and three hundred year old assless chaps were so on point before the kids got into them? Did mean old Michael Bay touch you in the nostalgic private pee pee area with his Transformers movie too? Is nothing sacred if our silly childhood monsters can't be kept out of the hands of actual children? [putthatshitonthelist.blogspot.com]
I am sick of vampire movies/teevee shows but I am looking forward to this one. Sci-fi vampires pique my interest.
It is good to see an original vampire story that does not involve rednecks.
I saw the trailer for this movie. It reminds me of the British TV series Ultraviolet (not be confused with the truly awful Milla Jovovich movie) in which vampires are plotting to create a similar world. The trailer for this film looks like a look into that world.
@Bill-Lee: +1 for the ULTRAVIOLET love. One of my favorite series and well worth watching. The term "Vampire" is never used in the series. Instead, the government task force uses the euphemism "Code V". And they deploy high tech to fight Code V, like guns with CCD/LCD gunsights (you shoot at what _doesn't_ show up) and carbon tipped bullets (because it's the carbon in the wood that is fatal to Code V). Also, takes a very "grey area" approach involving moral ambiguities about just who the good guys and bad guys really are. (No more shall I say lest spoilers occur.)
@LittleDragon: I admire the British in their ability to do limited run series (really, what we think of as miniseries in the U.S.), maintain high quality, then call it quits and go off to do something else.
Another example: FAULTY TOWERS; the episode "Basil the Rat" is the only television series episode I've ever seen in which I laughed so hard I cried and had trouble breathing.
@hhaller: I'm confused..why was Blade: Trinity considered bad. Seriously..I thought it was fun, there was plenty of action etc..enjoyable entertainment.
i got an even better idea than this failure and here it is:
Robin Hood Hero Of Tomorrow:
A tale of a lonely pirate who stands up to the asshole RIAA & MPAA stealing from the rich to give away to the poor who can not afford the vastly inflated entertainment prices.
Soon many folks joinour lonely hero till the evil lords of RIAA & MPAA are driven to the ground where they belong.
ah much better idea than what they will do.
Wasn't this already done - Rocket Robin Hood!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocket_Robin_Hood
I still have that damn theme song in my head 35 years later...
"Band of brothers, marching together. Heads held high in all kinds of weather. With fiery blasts, our roaring rockets rise, beyond the Earth, beyond the skies! At the side of Robin, take your stand, with the gallant leader of our band. Send a joyous shout throughout the land! For Rocket Robin Hood!"
@RachelFlaccus: No. We haven't. Even if we have, we haven't.
I taught a course on Canadian animation, and when I showed an episode of Rocket Robin Hood, the class nearly passed out from the sheer agony.
I once read a book about the search for a criminal on the frontiers of a huge stellar republic, who was supposed to be a mastermind and a Houdini-like escape artist, but also a brute and a trigger-happy nutjob. The twist of the contradictory stories was that this super-criminal was actually several people, who have taken up the name as each one dies. Their deeds were woven into related Robin Hood-like stories by the populace, due to disappointment with an absent and uncaring central bureaucracy, as well as simple tabloid fodder.
This would make an awesome movie (or series), even if I can't remember the title despite Google and Wikipedia.
A tiny, little bit of originality, please! Don't need another Robin Hood for at least a decade, not even the Russel Crowe/Ridley Scott collaboration, both of whom are awesome.

'bad' doesn't mean unenjoyable. it doesn't even mean unentertaining. it just means bad.
