Breja: I heard of that one at least. No idea what it's about though. Those old american sitcoms didn't exactly have much of an impact over here.
I don't know either of them either

Then a nerve got hit because you lost your insight and penetrating view that I like about you.

Edit: Also objectivity. You're grand with that.

I'd give you more if I could remember more concreteness about the show. I'm sure if I sat down and started watching it I could produce an analytical essay on why it is bad.

So anyway, the Professor could make a radio out of coconuts, but he couldn't fix a two foot hole in a boat.

I like the show but I'm not a fanatic fan in any way.
You came out hard about a lauded and well loved show. So if you want to rise above the standard half troll like comments you have to show some arguments with substance.
Either way I'm here for the kicks so handle it anyway you like.

cool, thanks for handling my shit with much grace

it's a lauded show because it feeds into the mainstream mentality of shallowness and easy-to-digest meaningless fluff

In his defense it was the Professor AND Marie Ann,...

Tarm: That statement needs clarification. What's wrong with Buffy?

Breja: It's just so lame, it takes everything that makes vampire stories scary and cool and moody and makes it this high school drama with a high school girl fighting vampire with kung-fu. You know, at least in something like Fright Night the vampire is still a force to be in awe of, not to be kicked in the shins, scary, powerful and sexual in a creepy, predatory way, not some high school forbidden romance with a guy called Angel.

Not to mention that Sarah Michelle Gellar couldn't act wet in a thunderstorm.
You know how much it f***ing hurts to get kicked in the shins? I'd honestly rather be kicked in the balls :P

Oh yes several of those I could also have added, except for the ones I've seen: Robocop, The Rescuers and Blade Runner (best scifi I've ever seen!). The game of the latter is absolutely worth checking out as well.

Yeah, but you're not supposed to be the terror of the night, darkness incarnate etc. I think even Mel Brooks treated vampires with more dignity :P

Oh, I love Dracula : Dead and Loving it! I'm not sure how about feel about vampires as monsters in general. That is whether I'm a fan or not. I suppose the best I've seen is Bram Stoker's Dracula. Well either that or What we do in the Shadows

I love vampires - the old school vampires, sinister and scary and everything that is evil, dark and rotten personified. Best of the "classic" monsters in my opinion.

Coppola's movie is very good, I love that gothic mood and Oldman is absolutely superb. The scene at the beginning when he makes the pact with the forces of darkness is awesome. But my favourite is probably Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre. It's just so superbly creepy. To my own surprise I didn't much like Horror of Dracula. I didn't hate it , but was rather disappointed.

And I think that Stoker's book holds up incredibly well, it's still a chilling read.

I think that it's tough to make a good vampire movie set in modern day, but it can be done. Fright Night was great, and I really love The Night Stalker. The sequel and the subsequent tv show were also a lot of fun, but that firts movie is in a league of it's own.

I do love vampires in games though, where they are usually extremely dangerous. Case(s) and point HoMM3, Disciples 2, Dungeon Keeper 1&2.

I somehow didn't know about Nosferatu the Vampyre thanks. I only knew about the old black and white one. This one looks very interesting so I think I'm going to make a point of watching it. And Fright Night while I'm at it
