NonVegetarian Vampires, anyone?

    This post comes after a very drab and dreary Sunday, a morning spent on tying to figure out which movie to watch, and then deciding on moving onto this new series called "The Vampire Diaries". Watched the painfully slow and cliched, first two episodes, the same sad soul of a leading lady, the vampire leading man, who is old enough to be her great great great grandfather, sounds familiar? it should, these days vampires have taken over TV, literally.

         Vampires always seem to have fascinated the small screen. It all started with Buffy slaying them..but right now, it's the whole "Omigosh! Vampires are soo hot!" phase. There are millions of girls who would kill to get a chance to be the troubled Bella of Twilight. Essentially, a vampire these days is this HOT guy who loves his girl, is very protective of her, has family issues, and is always fighting the urge to kill the girl and make a snack of her. I don't get it.

      

        What if Edward Cullem was not hot, or if he was some gawky teenager when he got the bite? Would Bella still 'love' him soo much? I am not too sure. How come only hot guys get bitten? Why not let's say a normal guy with freckles or lets say a squint get made into a vampire? So you can only conclude that, it is not as much as the vampire thingy in a guy, but it is only the Hotness of a guy which drives those girls nuts!

           

            Moving on, why is the girl always in trouble? I mean why? Why is she the needy one, the one who needs someone to hold onto, and Voila, she has a handsome vampire waiting for her..like in the latest "Vampire Diaries', the girls parents die, and she gets a vampire, who comes int otown because she happens to look like his ex who died at eth end of teh 17th century (Been there seen that).

             Where are the proper vampires? The ones who used to be seen in Hitchcock movies? Are they extinct? Or have they evolved into the vegetarians who do not kill humans, but live on rabbits, and make sweet love to damsels in distress?

        In earlier times the word vampire used to conjure up scary images of bloody teeth, red eyes, and fangs! Now, it's a school boy who has a crush on the local girl! :) . There is also the vampire series, "True Blood", on HBO..I have't seen it, but that again is about the creation of synthetic blood on which vamires can survive, and not really my kind of stuff.
           
             Well, last year I was into this series called 'Supernatural' that was the last time I saw a nonvegetarian vampire, who the brothers ultimately end up killing, but then, what's a vampire that does not eat humans??
I am sorry, I somehow cannot find that real, it's like let's say, Football without a ball, yeah, it's that painfull.
              
           So here's a little plea to the big TV producers, make a series on the small screen which has loadsa Blood, and tons of hot vampires. Seriously, veggie vampires with teen crushes, and multiple school diplomas, and bad boy younger brothers? I am over it!

Pardon me now, I ll leave this post here, and go look for some 'Fresh Blood'. Anybody listening?
