I guess it’s going ‘straight-to-DVD’ so to speak, –I’m old, I still think of it as ‘straight-to-video’, which basically means your film is a) independent, or b) crap, –the two are not mutually exclusive, and even though I am excited to see where they’ve taken the original story, I do approach sequels with caution. The …

Countless websites on the interwebs are all aflutter over Neil Gaiman talking trash about new vampire authors and their weak, emo vampires.
