Title: Twilight actor complains about copycat vampires
Post by: jimbo on November 30, 2011, 12:55:59 AM

Twilight actor thinks there are vampire shows copying his beloved movie franchise. The blogger states that Barnabas (JF) resembles a potato. Now that is a description of our beloved character that I never heard before.

Hmm. I wonder if that is considered better than having a face like a  [hall2_grin] garden trowel, which was another description some years back. [hall2_grin]

So, the piece of white asparagus is talking without knowledge.   

slightly off topic, don't know if it was a hoax, but a twilight fan wrote a letter regarding the movie The Wolfman, calling it something that took what Twilight made beautiful and making it a horrible ugly thing.   Er, that's the whole idea behind monsters.  We were supposed to be afraid of them, not in love with them.   Even Barnabas had a mean streak.  How many times did he throttle and choke Julia or beat poor Willie, to name a few?   

ah, kids.  what can you say?

A garden trowel? Oh my. These people are nuts. lol

I can't put my finger on the pulse of a Twilight fan as I don't know of any.

Besides the potato reference, I just have one other question.  How can Chaney, Jr. be battling Chaney, Jr.? 

Oh... that's right never happened.  In fact, Dracula never did battle with the Wolf Man in the Universal series until Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein, in which Lugosi played Dracula...  unless you count the non-battle in House of Dracula, in which John Carradine played the undead count.

Interesting Cousin Barnabas. I guess bloggers feel they can get away with anything.

Sadly, is that ever an understatement when it comes to some bloggers.  [sad3]
