    Which one's the sissy?
    Tell that to Angelus

    ETA : (that said, it's not like bears are that dangerous - they don't dish out aggravated damage )

    It must have peaked by now.

    I'd like a sci-fi boom as big as this boring vampire boom now.

    Pure curiosity... Love at first Bite?

    Although IMDB does tell me that there is a Lust at First Bite aka Dracula Sucks porn movie... which interestingly also dates to 1979...

    Inquiring minds and all that.

    Goths have nothing and want nothing to do with it.
    To put it in pompous terms : goths are into vamps for the ennui and the outsider-ness (e.g. "we are aliens lurking outside humanity's windows, forever denied the sun's caress, our gift is our curse etc... /slashwrist"), the current fad is aaaaall about the glamour, superiority to regular humans and grabbing a slice of the Twilight crowd ("that Edward, he's so dreamy... and chaste !").

    Which feels kind of wrong, somehow. I mean, both ultimately stem from snobbish bullshit, but at least the goth crowd doesn't pretend vampires are nice.

    I don't think you can say whether vampires are nice or not... after all, they don't actually exist and there's a myriad of different mythologies where vamps vary from mindless monsters to noble and surprisingly chaste super heroes.

    Obviously there's going to be nudity in "Mainstream" films, but I certainly don't recall (and haven't noticed) it being de rigueur in the way you're suggesting it is, at any rate.
    Actually, I can't think of the last movie that I watched. It's been a few years. I got so bored with the whole "we gotta have titties" theme that I just haven't been watching movies, other than things like the Toy Stories. This wasn't a concious decision, and certainly the gratuitous sex and sexuality wasn't the only reason, or even the main reason, why I've quit watching movies. But it's part of it.

    I'm a partial nudist myself. Right now, I'm wearing a pair of glasses, a pair of panties, and a pair of flipflops. It's summer, I'm in Texas, and it's HOT. I don't mind other people being nude so much as I mind the notion that I should pay a small fortune in ticket and concessions to waste a quarter of the screen time looking at stuff that bores me. And female tits bore me. If I'm gonna look at nekkid peoples, I demand equal rights, I want to look at nekkid or nearly nekkid men. And no, men without shirts is NOT the same thing as women without shirts.

    Science fiction has an undercurrent of rational thought. Vampires, like other fantasy, have an undercurrent of magical thought.

    You guess which is more common these days.

    Though you can treat magic rationally (see Poul Anderson's Operation Chaos and S. M. Stirling's Dies the Fire), and you can treat science magically (see Ray Bradbury's Mars stories).

    In every folkloric version of vampirism with which I am acquainted, vampires are disgusting undead creatures. All that varies is just how disgusting. One South Pacific variant, the name of which I can't recall, is just a detached head that flies about with its internal organs dangling drippily beneath.
    This whole "sexy vampires" thing is the product of fiction writers and has gone on far too long for my taste. I'd like to see a vampire movie featuring a genuinely frightening and disgusting vampire like the old timey people (who actually believed in such things) feared.

    I keep hearing about it, and as a horror buff I feel I ought to read it, and if it's good I don't want to miss it...but vampires again? Just thinking about it makes me tired.

    Maybe I'm anemic.
