Are you all set for V - Visitors? I saw some promos for it, and it looks like it will be the way it should have been back then! I hope so, but you never know.

The promo looks promising...and some decent actors too! Let's pray that Stargate taught them something about soap operas!

Sci-Fi (Syfy, whatever) is running V (80s) to set up the new series....been reminiscing about the old days. I love the memory of those days, but not the technology....LOL.
Any thoughts?

For a minit. It's going to be targeted toward the younger crowd again, twilight meets aliens.
I realize tweens are a huge video block, but I'm getting sick of being shoved to the irrelevant file. Bruce Willis is still an action hero, where are all our adult actors going?

I think they did a decent start, I have some hopes for the show. An as for the Tweens being the target audience, you realize that the teens in the show are basically going to be the bad guys? (I won't spoil more than that but if you watched it you should know what I mean)

Yea...which means tweens get the screen time. l watched twilight with my wife, and she wants to see new moon, but I am just not getting it.
My vampires are monsters, not boyfriends. My werewolves are the Benecio Del Toro's of the new Wolfman, not the hunky guy that climbs through my daughter's bedroom window. Sorry, but Harry Potter meets dracula does NOT interest me.
Hmmmmmm......maybe I AM getting old.

Now you've done it. I hate the new trend in Vampires and Werewolves. A Vampire is not an object of affection. A Vampire is a Shark. A cold blooded eating machine. Its dont care if your a guy or a girl, pretty or ugly, Your fracking FOOD. You are to be hunted down and eatten. When Anne Rice first did the Sad Panda Vampire it was kinda cool but now its out of hand.
Its getting almost as bad with the Werewolves. Hopefully The Wolfman movie will reestablish them as a monster to be feared instead of the lap dog of the local virgin.

HAHAHAHA....Lapdog of the local virgin! LOL....well said. I hate so-called monster movies...the Vampire's apprentice, Twilight, booring! Let's get back to SALEM'S LOT! Let's get back to An American Werewolf in London, or the HOwling!
Enough Poor me, love me, i'm a pale vampire lover who's just longing for acceptance! WAH.
Get over it crybabies.....you suck blood for a living....anyway....this is as Star Trek post, so I suppose we need to shift gears.......nice to see I'm not the only one who hates the way those movies are going.

Okay I have to chime in, as someone who has *clears throat* read the Twilight series, I thought I should clarify. The Vampires in Twilight are sharks, they are rather ruthless, with the exception of the "vegetarian" vampires, like the lead character, who haven't given up their humanity. The werewolves are at the very end of the series clarified as shapeshifters, but they are more of the Native American style wolfman, it's almost a spiritual thing (I'm struggling explaining it in words).
When it comes down to it, it's a love story, with some really interesting fantasy mixed in. I can understand how it's not everyone's cup of tea.

My issue with Twilight isn't that it is a love story (I'm of the Vampire: the Masquerade generation folks so I have no issues with that) or that it is targeted at tweenaged girls. My issue with Twilight is simple. As a storyteller, a person who has been doing this in may forms for over a decade, I get a little pissed off when I see a book that reads as though it was written by a 12 year old is sold to a publisher with the promise of 2 sequels for $750,000. This woman never wrote anything EVERY in her life and she makes three quarters of a million dollars off of three CRAPTASTIC books that didn't even get a red pen taken to it. Tell me if the following sentence looks anything like an actual sentence to you:
| Twilight, Page 13 wrote: | | Where was the feel of the institution? I wondered nostalgically? |
"I wondered nostalgically?" Oh come on, that isn't even a full sentence!
The following is taken from the Anti-Twilight Movement's website:
| Quote: | Meyer writes at an amateur level- constantly abusing a thesaurus with shameless purple prose. She takes simple, elementary sentences and stuffs them with an overabundance of modifiers. Example: | Quote: | | "His skin, white despite the faint flush from yesterday's hunting trip, literally sparkled, like thousands of tiny diamonds were embedded in the surface. He lay perfectly still in the grass, his shirt open over his sculpted, incandescent chest, his scintillating arms bare. His glistening, pale lavender lids were shut, though of course he didn't sleep. A perfect statue, carved in some unknown stone, smooth like marble, glittering like crystal." |
There are 69 words in that short excerpt; 18 of which are adjectives/adverbs; 5 of which are synonyms for the same word: sparkling. But that's nothing: the word "murmur" is used 46 times in the first book alone. Nice way to use imagination instead of repetitiveness, right? Meyer's constant massacre of words is a fast way to fill up pages, but leaves absolutely no room for plot, character development, or any kind of quality. |
That sums it up for me right there. She is a bad writer. People who have been doing this for their whole lives can't make a dime but this pedophilic fifth rate hack from crazytown (she was quoted talking about how she wants to get it on with her own made up teenaged characters and how she can't understand how her husband is NOT jealous over them... NOT JEALOUS! SHE WANTS HER HUSBAND TO BE JEALOUS OF FICTIONAL TEENS!) can make damn near a cool million off of her craptastic books?
