    @TheUptightMidwesterner: I think they may be filming the Silver Doe chapter where the Horcrux taunts Ron with images of Harry and Hermione embracing. Riddle-Harry and Riddle-Hermione (as they're referred to in the text) do kiss. It doesn't say anything about them being naked though.

    Oh, hell. Here's the text:
    "Who wouldn't prefer him, what woman would take you, you are nothing, nothing, nothing to him," crooned Riddle-Hermione, and she stretched like a snake and entwined herself around Riddle-Harry, wrapping him in a close embrace: Their lips met.

    PS: Maybe it sinks it better if we say it in the original Swedish? Låt den Rätte Komma in! Pronounced, "Lott den RE-tte KO-mma in." Funny how Swedish is so similar to English.

    @Mount_Prion: "Hjälp mig" in writ and yes, it phonetically sounds quite similar to "help me." Except the Swedes "sugar-coat" most of the consonants in speech. They come across all soft and not explosive, as in German or English. German is the harshest and sharpest of all Germanic languages in prononciation--by comparison, English and all the rest sound stoned-mellow. #languagedork #vampires

    Twilight isn't a cause but it is a symptom. By and large, I agree with this article. Basically, it's been a slow decline since The Lost Boys. Look at what we're left with:

    The Underworld franchise: Vampires wear vinyl and werewolves wear Carhartt jackets. Also, you can put ultraviolet rays in a bullet.

    The Blade franchise: Vampires can go out during the day if they put on sunblock.

    The Lestat franchise: Vampires like velvet and ruffles and are terribly overwrought.

    The Twilight franchise: Vampires sparkle and want to hold hands.

    Step 1 is getting rid of the "blood bag" cliche.

    What the genre needs is an abandonment of science and a return to religious/supernatural sources. Instead of vampirism being caused by viruses or bacteria or vampires being vulnerable to UV rays and immune to the Cross, go back to the old superstitious ways. Instead of overplaying the sex metaphor, play up the thinly-veiled cannibalistic aspect.

    Basically, play up the monstrousness, the rape, the evil, and the fact that, ultimately, vampires are the living dead.

    Er, Foster I can't agree with you entirely. While the current put vampire on everything (Sweet Jesus have you been to a mall lately? Photos of that damnable Pattinson covers the floor tiles at FYE .) craze of late is just willful, panicked consumerism and trend-sucking awfulness at its best...the lore and legacy of vampires is not. When done right, vampires can be wonderfully horrorful, enigmatic, seductive, and just plain creeptastic. (Everyone see Let the Right One In). Done badly and it's a Great Adventure ride that features a free keyring and a 65 ounce slushee with fangs on the side. But take the poetry of Ann Rice's Interview with a Vampire (Some of Tom Cruise's best work) or the brilliant camp of The Lost Boys... fun, forever original, and timeless.

    For me this Twilight nonsense is really the bastardization. The cheating mistress of the genre. And not just for vampires, but it seems for werewolves too. I cringed and shouted "Fuck you!" at the CGI doggie-goes-growly transformation in the trailer. Le sigh Sucks that it seems Norway made a better vampire movie last year about young vampires than that chaste movie all the teeny-boppers seem to adore.

    I say let's get back to some original movies about the bloodsuckers and stop all this mass marketed, virginal crock. Vampires are meant for an R rating. And they are not, not at all, meant to be cuddly, shiny, and moist. Nothing forever damned should be. #vampires

    Vampires are inserts in romance for areas that used to be covered by dukes in historical romance, doctors in 1950s hospital romance, Greek tycoons in 1970s Harlequins, etc. The world most of the readers of these books live in is a pretty equal one, and romance is about a power struggle, so there has to be *some* way that the hero is more powerful than the heroine, and supernatural heroes are currently the popular way to create that power differential. The woman doesn't have to be economically powerless, doesn't have to come from a tragic abused background, doesn't have to not have a job, etc., to help the differential along. She can be a successful executive and it still works. He's a *vampire*. #vampires

    @dkissam: You're all smarticle. The last decade has been all about the supes or billionaires. Not millionaires, mind you. A man isn't worth lusting over unless he has a private jet, a phalanx of goons to guard you, the high priced lawyer to take your baby (!), and the private mediterranean island to keep you in seclusion. I was a voracious cheap romance reader until it was all vamps and George Clooney.

    in the past decade or so there's only three instances when i find vampires ok. From Dusk til Dawn, Blade and now True Blood, because even though some of the vampires are emotional they still have no problem ripping a man in half and feasting upon his blood. On a side note vampires should NEVER sparkle in the sun, they.should.fuckin.die. #vampires
