Namaste and welcome to the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. Today I want to take a few moments of your time to talk about vampires and their modern portrayal in the movies. So sit back and enjoy the ride cause we're going on a little journey.
I remember growing up and watching vampire movies with old actors like Bella Lugosi and Christopher Lee playing the role of Count Dracula. Endless hours were spent playing games like Castlevania fighting vampires. But there never really was this cult obsession, especially by the younger generations with vampires as there is now. This leads me to the obvious question of why they are so popular NOW.
I get that girls especially dig the idea of eternal romance and two vampires in love for eternity... but the problem is really two-fold. 1) Boys don't really think in the same context about FOREVER as girls do... just generally doesn't even register. 2) Why are people obsessed with the idea of eternal love when they cannot even live THIS LIFE to the fullest each and every day.
I mean honestly, WHAT THE FUCK?!? The majority of people that I have met that are INTO the vampire craze HATE their lives NOW... WHAT THE FUCK are you planning on doing for an eternal CURSE of being a vampire if you don't even want to live THIS life that you currently possess?
YES, I did say that being a vampire would be a curse. So you did fall in love? Do you turn the other person into a vampire and live happily ever after? NOPE? Don't you remember the old films where the vamps are always being chased like Frankenstein's monster with pitchforks and torches, hunted for eternity as a demon, an abomination? Then you, being quasi-immortal get to watch everyone you have ever loved DIE before your eyes as you continue to rot in your re-animated corpse of a body. And even if you DID turn your lover into a vampire, how horrible would the sex be? Without hemoglobin in the blood the vampire would be COLD AS ICE... I challenge you to fuck someone that has an ice cold penis or vagina! For eternity... Just saying... and then what if the relationship didn't work out, as they often do... then what? You're stuck with the wrong person in a living hell where you can't even go out in the sun or eat real food and drink... FOREVER? That would really SUCK!
Looking back there have been a few cool vampire movies out there like the Underworld and Blade Series, 30 Days of Night was pretty okay, even movies like the Lost Boys, From Dusk Til Dawn, Interview With A Vampire, and Buffy the Vampire slayer were better than this crap out now... I have to be honest, the current Twilight vampire gaga is pretty LAME, at best. Oooh, look a shiny vampire... Dudes, and dudettes, that's really fucking gay and lame. I would love to see Blade or Selena from Underworld kick the pussy vampires from Twilight's asses. The wolf people on that series are cooler than the vampires, plus I gotta argue that two dudes are NOT going to be fighting over that ugly little twig, Bella. Even lamer is the fact that the modern depiction of vampires makes them look nothing short of UNDERWEAR MODELS, including the boys wearing WAY TOO MUCH MAKE-UP... rather than a scary, demonic blood-sucking parasitic beasts that they really are...
Now then you get into the whole idea of being a vampire. The MAJORITY of those obsessed with vampires are like all Goth or Emo and seem to HATE LIFE... Being a pissed off, lonely vampire for eternity would generally SUCK, no pun intended, but that leads me to the next point of BLOOD. If you were a vampire you would have to drink blood... namely HUMAN blood. I happen to know from having worked in the medical field that a person can only drink about a pint of blood before becoming seriously ill in the stomach... I've seen the movies where there is a magical elixir that the vamp can drink and not have to drink human blood. NOT. Then there are some other pussy vamps that drink the blood from cows or other animals so they don't have to drink human blood. LAME.
I guess my point is that being a vampire has been WAY OVER-SENSATIONALIZED and the lame ass kids that think this is so cool only show how lame and stupid they really are. Living cursed for eternity is NOTHING to admire or aspire to, as it is only LIFE and LIVING that are sacred... there is no sanctity in DEATH, ONLY LIFE!!! As adults I think we need to do a better job with our youth, de-glamorizing this obsession with death that we have as an American culture. We need to teach the youth about the sanctity of LIFE and to separate fact from fiction. The life you have NOW, no matter how shitty you THINK it is... it is STILL SACRED and you are a child of God. Let movies be there to entertain you and make you laugh, smile, and cry... but then be done with it and accept things for how they ARE, not for this idealistic lifestyle that you don't really want, but yet still fantasize about.
Well that's pretty much all I've got on this subject for now. Read some of my past blogs if you dare. Sign on as a friend to the blog if you have the fangs... and be your own person, not just some lame ass FAD based on a book that quite frankly SUCKS!
Peace. Love. Respect. Reality.
