But yeah, I'm seeing Twilight knockoffs left and right. There's some crappy show called "Vampire Diaries" here in the States, and there's been like three non-Twilight vampire movies so far (something like "The Vampire's Apprentice", which I couldn't take seriously with the guy from Stepbrothers, that one with college kids fighting vampires, and Daybreakers, which doesn't look half bad).
Well, The Vampire Diaries is a book series from the 90's. I know. I read a few of them because a girl i liked read them. Well... maybe late 80's, but i didn't read them until the early 90's. And the show is shit. Tried to watch it with Wife®. We turned off the first episode w/in 3 minutes. Wife® is a huge Twilight fan, but hates most other CW style shows. (actually we hate ALL CW... except Supernatural. Cause it's badass.)
The Vampires Apprentice is the first book in the Cirque Du Freak series, which i've never read... and also, i could NOT get past the John C. Reily thing either. I thought it was going to be "Vampire Movie" or something.
And yes, Daybreakers looks pretty rad.

Actually I do prefer Shaun but it took a couple of viewings to realise how great it was. I guess I was disappointed that it wasn't much like Spaced and once I got over that it got far better.
SotD is one of my favorite movies. I've seen it more times than i'd care to actually count, and after the first 20 or so viewings, i KEPT seeing new things. Edgar Wright is a GENIUS writer/director.
Spaced is one of the greatest sitcoms of all time, too. I can still rewatch that.
