The Strain

Stardate 05-15-2009

I just read that Guillermo del Torro, the brilliant writer and film maker behind Pan's Labyrinth and the Hell Boy movies, is releasing book 1 in a new vampire trilogy. The book is called, The Strain. Here is a little tag line from the book...

They have always been here.
Vampires.
In secret and in darkness.
Waiting.
Now their time has come.
In one week, Manhattan will be gone.
In one month, the country.
In two months—the world.

After Stephanie Myers completely ruined the vampire myth with her garbage Twilight series, I'm excited for this to come out. And I'm sure I'm not the only one. Check out this excellent clip from the very very funny show, Free Radio. In the clip, Lance is interviewing one of the actors from the movie.



Now, I already know what all off you lame Twilight fans are thinking..."Yeah, the movie wasn't great, but the books are amazing." And if you are thinking that, then you are wrong. The books are also horrible.

What Twilight books were you reading? Oh, the ones by Stephanie Meyers- well that makes sense.

Vampires do not burn in the sun because their skin actually turns into diamonds.

I always wondered how she came up with that idea. We know she put everything she had into making "the perfect guy" so, of course! Make them transform into brilliant diamonds that only shine when in the sun.
