LADIES LOVE SEXY VAMPIRES
06.03.09Two weeks ago, the CW picked up “The Vampire Diaries” for next fall. It’s about a handsome brooding vampire in high school who falls in love with a regular girl, based on the popular books by a female author. Hmmm, why does that sound familiar?
Anyway, the CW just released this extended preview, and let me switch over to all-caps to say HOLY HELL THIS LOOKS TERRIBLE. The first half of this clip is just shots of girls swooning over Vlad the Brooder, then the last two minutes are about what happens when Vlad’s evil brother shows up. Look out, he can turn into a crow! He can turn into fog! Wait, what? He can turn into fog? Goddammit, vampires used to be pretty cool monsters. They turned into bats and couldn’t go outside in daylight. Now they’re transfer students who skateboard and play guitar and get tattoos. STOP VIOLATING THE PARAMETERS OF FICTIONAL MONSTERS.

Well that changes everything, MrSparkle. Now I’m going to watch!
I wanted to add the publishing years for anyone that says this is a Twilight rip-off:
Vampire Diaries: 1991
True Blood novels: 2001
Twilight: 2005

No, no, Jessica, it’s Boone:
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0813812/
He just looked a little different for some reason.
I thought the dude who played Boone in Lost was going to be in this. Apparently they only got some guy who LOOKS like Boone to play in this.
I enjoyed these books when I was in High School (god I”m old) but this doesn’t look a thing like the books nor does Elena look like the blonde who was in them. She looks like some Jessica Alba wannabe.
I was wondering why it looked like “Vampire Dawson’s Creek.” Because it’s from the creator of Dawson’s Creek.
Sounds like a great party Enrico.
You make a strong yet difficult to read point, Capt. Insano. Teens truly are idiots. Back when I was a teen, we just smoked pot, watched Seinfeld, and masturbated furiously.
It’s so bad that YouTube won’t even let me watch it.
^I can spel. I sware.
There’s no wat this can be worse than Smallville. And thats only been on for EIGHT FUCKNG YEARS. Teens are retarded.
All these vampire and zombie movies and TV shows are being made, but for some reason they haven’t made a movie based on Tracy Jordon’s hit single “Whereworf Bar Mitzvah”. This is an outrage.
