06.17.09 AMERICA LOVES VAMPIRES, TITS

Now, we await the vampire reality show.

I could have sworn Omar Little was the greatest vampire ever.

At what point does this trend collapse on itself and implode like a dying star? Why are people too stupid to realize that 1 story about a vampire who doesn’t kill people may be original but 5 of them is a fucking cancer?

In a completely unrelated story, Matt Ufford has just
closed a deal to buy the Manhattan Blood Bank.

I blame all of this vampire love on Count Chocula. What a sonofabitch.

Question about Generation kill, how does it rank with Gunner’s Palace? I love Generation kill and just wondered if i should take time out of my life to search for GuPAlace.

America’s love of vampires and tits was best captured in the marriage of Ric Ocasek and Paulina Porizkova.

You enjoy your hoity-toity David Simon shows that move at a snail’s pace. I just worked 12 hours at a factory – I’ll watch tits, hicks and vampires, thank you very much.

I tried watching one episode of this. I kept expecting Bobby Boucher to come out and flatten somebody.

/Repeating jokes, I think? I can’t remember if I’ve said that already.

@ MArtin — you mean the documentary Gunner Palace? Funny you should ask; I reviewed that VERY early on in my writing career:

As long as there are thousands of pale-skinned twenty-year-olds with nice tits and no acting talent who wash up in L.A. every year, there will be shows/movies about vampires. Just grab a bunch of them before the soak up too much sunlight, throw some fake fangs into their mouths and make sure they’re in a dimly-lit club with bad techno music 60% of the time, then you got yourself a hit, Mister Producer Man.

It’s almost as easy as rounding up a dozen douchebags and flying them out to a deserted island; just turn on the camera and start swimming in the cash, Scrooge McDuck-style.

I will admit that “Generation Kill” and “The Wire” are much better shows than “True Blood” I think the public is getting tired of gritty reality. I think that is a shame because I feel the best fiction reflects reality and makes people think but things are what they are. Times are hard and people are looking for fantasy.

As for “Eastbound and Down”… Yeah it was funny but aren’t we all having a bit of Will Farrel comedy overload? You can only tell the same jokes so many times before it gets boring. Having said that, I don’t think Farrel has jumped the shark yet, that will happen when the cast him in Jeopardy spoof movie.

Just my opinion.
