Hey Twilight: Our Vampires Are Cooler Than Your Vampires
It covers all the big vampire hits, but I’m partial to this one:
“Just about anything Twlight is attempting to do in an allegorical form, Buffy did first, and did it better. Here you have the romance between a human and a vampire, but unlike Twilight it can never end up happily for the couple, since he’ll become truly evil if they share a moment of true happiness. Take that, sexual metaphor!”
and:
“Our vampire is cooler than your vampire because… can anyone do the brooding, soulful vampire better than David Boreanaz? We think not.”
