(And as far as her relationship with the vampire...that is just creepy. Aside from what the_beaver already mentioned, the other just outright perverted part of their relationship is that the dude is like 80 years old. I really don't care for that message at all.)


What message? The guy's a teenager (as far as the story line goes), a teenager by vampire standards.


I disagree. He *looks* like a teenager, but that doesn't make him a teenager. I really don't care if he's young "by vampire standards." He's still old enough to be her grandfather.


1. You're equating fiction to reality; big mistake. 2. As far as the story's concerned, he's a teenager and she's a teenager. 3. I mean, if you're going to be so concerned about age difference, why aren't you concerned about the interspecies aspect?


1. Equating fiction to reality? WTF are you even talking about? We're discussing vampires here. Who the F thinks vampires are real? It's not me.

2. No, the story has the guy appearing to be a teenager, which is a distinction that doesn't appear to bother you. I mean, basically, he has an 80 year old man's brain in a 17 year old kids body. And he's a stalker. (Here is me beating the horse into bloody pulp: The story, in essence, is a romance between a very old, albeit young-looking, man and an underage girl. That kind of thing can happen in real life, you nitwit, which is exactly why I don't care for the message it sends.)

3. You show me some old-ass vampires going after jail-bait in real life and I'll hop up on a soapbox.

You guys. Have you ever seen the Quiet Earth. It's a really good movie.
