HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAokay I'm good.

No, no, seriously, I love it. The pale skin. The gold eyes. All that's missing are the sparkles and it's perfect. I just hope to hell it tricks TWILIGHT fans into checking it out and inadvertently seeing one of the best vampire movies ever made. If you've never seen it, well here's the most famous part:

I'm telling you, evil trashy redneck vampire Bishop, Vasquez, and Hudson could kick Pattison's ass any day.

Seriously. Dying here. That's one of the most hilarious shameless cash-in redo of a DVD box I've ever seen. Well done! Now, if we can just get the TWILIGHT fans to see LET THE RIGHT ONE IN as well, we'll be solid...

hehehe.... wow....

That's impressively similar without being exactly the same.

(Though I did have to look up the cover of the Twilight DVD to compare...)

Gotta love the marketing people... at least they didn't re-cut the film to make it "better".

I had never heard of this movie but now, having seen some of the cast and basic storyline, I must see it.

Awesome. Adrian Pasdar outhots and outacts RPattz by several miles.

HOW COME I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS? AND IT HAS ADRIAN PASDAR? -instantly goes to find it-

[shadowlongknife.livejournal.com]

that right there, that is fucking ridiculous.

God hadn't seen this in years. Loved Paxton in it, especially as he keeps getting the crap kicked out of him over the course of the film.

AND evil trashy redneck vampire finger sucking groupie from The Wall... wait, that's not really a different character, nevermind...

I understand how people could have missed this. I was lucky and didn't miss it, in spite of the complete lack of marketing. One day my VHS copy will die and I'll have to replace it with a DVD.

... *snorts back a giggle* How could they do it to what is possibly one of the best vampire movies ever made? (provides link to old cover).

On the other hand the Twilight fans that do pick it up instead will at least get to see a good movie.

... I... never realized Nathan was the dude from NEAR DARK. WOW. Time to rewatch the movie for sure!

It also has three people from the cast of ALIENS, and it's directed by the gal who did POINT BREAK. Just so's you know!

Wow, that made my night.

Saw a Harvey Dent For District Attorney bumper sticker on a BMW last night and thought of you.

Anything good going on at the DC Fringe that you know of? I have theater friends coming to town. ...also, I still have your comics.

Oh.
My.
Grodd.
Pasdar's little SISTER could kick Pattinson's eyebrow ass, kid!
(And yes, I HAVE EXCLAMATION POINTS AGAIN. I'm just using them sparingly.)
Anything that moves units for Jenny Wright is a plus.
Maybe we could do a DEVIL WEARS PRADA remix of OUT OF BOUNDS?

Seriously, that's a real DVD cover and not some Something Awful p-shop?

[emma-elicit.livejournal.com]

That just went on my Netflix in the #1 spot.

Near Dark was a fantastic flick. And that there is...um...

Okay, I'll say it. I am the father of two teenyboppers. If this gets them to see this great flick...hey, my hat's off.

Nothing says badass then pale skin and gold eyes, I know have a urge to see the movie. :P

[thehefner.livejournal.com]

I dunno if you're being serious or not, but either way, this is totally an awesome movie and well worth checking out!

[superfan1.livejournal.com]

I'm serious and going to look for the movie later on today. As I do my errands, also nice icon. :)

Thanks! Someone once had the brilliant idea to do STAR WARS icons with FUTURAMA quotes, and it just went on from there!
