In an attempt to get in touch with my inner-tween I have been watching a run of vampire-related tv.

• I downloaded 2 seasons worth of The Lair. It is a gay-themed series about, well, about a bunch of gay vampires running a gay-club. No, I’m not kidding. The basic premise is the head vampire thinks a male journalist is the reincarnation of his dead vampire lover. No, I’m not making this shit up. The second season also introduces werewolves and killer plants, no I don’t know why either. It is like a cross between the Bold and the Beautiful (the series is half an hour long and filmed like a cheaper version of the soap) and Kamen Rider. Seriously, KILLER PLANTS, and werewolves that looks like an extra from the series. I survived watching the series by the joy of the fast forward button. The series is badly acted, horribly written and serves as soft gay porn. However, still more interesting than Twilight the movie.



• I downloaded the first 3 eps of The Vampire Diaries… um, I really like Damon, but I have come to the realization that plotlines focusing on teenagers without the aid giant robots or something truly awesome bore me to tears. I get all excited when it is Damon interacting with people, but gets horribly disappointed when I realize he is pretty much talking to adolescents with the brain size of a pea. In short I’m giving up on the series… I’m just going to youtube the Damon clips.

In conclusion, I miss the hey days of Anne Rice, which is something I never thought I would say. No more vampires for me. Unless it is about Damon and his sex adventures with either gender. At least I know what I like.

ETA: Oh, yeah, and my foray into True Blood, um, yeah, the less said the better. I think I actually like The Lair better. At least the latter is meant to be stupid, while TB tries to tell me that its characters are smart when they are DUMB as door nails, and it is just retarded that supposedly intelligent people does stupid things every episode. I hate the show with a passion, and wish all the characters would die, EXCEPT for Eric, because Eric is awesome.
