    I'm interested in this one simple reason. It's a future where the vampires won. That's just so cool.

    I remember in one of the Blade movies, they visited a Blood farm, and some vamp wannabe was talking about how they'd pretty much taken over behind the scenes and it wasn't long before they ran everything.

    It was just such a cool idea, a world of vampires. And now a movie is coming out about that. Seriously cool. #daybreakers

    This looks like it might be pretty awesome, but fuck! Somebody needs to inform the Hollywood suits that other movies can be successful besides vampire flicks.

    I have high hopes for the Wolfman.

    Additionally, I originally wrote "Woolman". Weresheep. Terrifying! #daybreakers

    @I_Like_TDs: Pitch the Weresheep idea to Syfy.

    You know why don't they(Syfy) have a web form you can fill out to send in ideas for their movies of the week?

    If they're going to make all these campy movies, the least they could do is make our campy movies. #daybreakers

    In reply to Daybreakers Vamps Practice The "See Something, Say Something" Anti-Human Law
    I wish someone would make a real vampire movie -- one with a dark, creepy atmosphere and that captures the slow, building sense of dread surrounding the concept of a being consuming the life from people.

    Somewhere along the line, people got obsessed with a vampire's superhuman elements and lost track of what makes a great vampire story.

    They also forgot that vampires are undead, blood-sucking creatures of the night. Honestly, what is a vampire but a glorified serial killer?

    I think there's a market for a really good vampire story that deals with the people who come to realize that there is a monster in their midst who looks just like everyone else, but isn't.

    Or not. I'm a really bad judge of things like this. #daybreakers

    @Lamar Henderson: I've had similar thoughts for a long time- somehow, all the dreamy vampire folk has managed to make hordes of teenage girls swoon over, despite the fact they would be viewed every inch as much as a protein source as they would to, say, a shark. #daybreakers

    I'm tired of vampires that either:
    Mope
    Sparkle or
    Pine for a lost love

    I'm not tired of vampires that are:
    Unrepentant
    Vicious
    or
    F***ing monstrous

    So... I'm tired of Twilight, but not tired of 30 Days of Night. #daybreakers

    @ParryLost: I love that comment for two reasons: first it made me lol because of the awsome comic refrence, and second because this movie seems to be along the same lines, genetic engenerring is evil and will distroy the world, we should never try something new

    @Franknbeans: Thank you, those were my thoughts too. :D Though I'm hoping the gene-spliced baby will be a likeable character -- but still, the overall message will (I am guessing!) be in that "don't play god" vein. Also, it's a brand-new baby meme! It needs our love and support. :(

    I guess Adrien Brody just should have thrown in the towel after winning the oscar in The Pianist. Can't get higher than that so instead he just goes much, much lower.
