       PRICE IS RIGHT WHEEL
I wasted many hours of my American youth watching weekday gameshows. In the 80's game shows wern't that pathetic, they were the predecessor to reality TV. As much as I regret this, I can't help but feel I must have learned something from the big wheel. Oh, how I loved The Big Wheel of the Showcase Showdown. From the couch it was obvious that it takes just enough strength, mixed with a bit of finesse to get the spinner to stop on the $1.00 mark. Second chances happened but math was required and most contestants were just too star struck standing next Bob Barker to accurately make it work. Those who were lucky enough to make it on top of the Showcase showdown would get one more chance to extrapolate the perfect recipe of smarts, memory, luck and faith to take home the prize.. Oh what amazing prizes!The Big Wheel was used to determine the winner of the Showcase Showdown on The Price is Right. The three contestants from each showcase had up to two spins. The contestant closest to $1.00 won. The big wheel was everyone's favorite part of The Price is Right, and totally awesome. If I could start each day with a spin of the wheel, there is no doubt I'd live a much happier life.

      VAMPIRES
The whole exhaustion of living forever has been well documented in recent films and television, and sure it would suck to never see the sun—But there is something pretty cool about going through life as a total badass, only having to fear someone driving a wooden stake through your heart. Vampires are mythological beings who survive by feeding on the blood of living creatures. They are usually described as undead, but a vampire could be a living person. They have very pale skin, large fangs, can change into a bat, sleep in a coffin, they are nocturnal, and the only way to kill one is to drive a wooden stake through its heart.

Vampires suck! [rimshot]
reply
Agreed

Okay, someone has to stand up for Vampires. Lets assume for the same of awesomeness that we are not talking about Anne Rice, or sparkling twilight 90210 vampires.
Think Richard A. Matherson`s I am Legend, think Stoker, think most badass Halloween costume when you were a kid, think Lesbian Vampire Killers, come on guys. reply
same = sake
reply
OK... here are some great Vampires:
30 Days of Night The Night Flier Let The Right One In The Hunger Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter Blackula The Night Stalker Near Dark And you're right... Richard Matheson's novella is totally freakkin' AWESOME. reply
I also forgot to throw in Wes Craven`s Dracula series
reply
And the Charlie Murphy classic "Vampire in Brooklyn."
reply
Has anyone seen 28 Days Later? Although its not really vampires (better version of I Am Legend), its close and that movie was awesome.
reply
We were not talking about the movie I am Legend but the book. 28 Days later was classified as a Zombie flick I believe, and tbh I preferred 28 Weeks later.
reply
Ah the book, gotcha. And yeah zombies are a better way of describing the 28 (measurement of time) Later series, though Days was better than Weeks imo.
reply
I went to 28 Days Later with someone who thought it was going to be a sequel to the movie "28 Days." My date was honestly surprised that Sandra Bullock wasn't in it.
reply
Didn't that happen to Pam on the Office? Do I just watch too much tv? Also, I am in agreement, the I Am Legend book was way way better than the movie.
reply
I Am Legend was a decent film, but didn't have the balls to drive home the final point and end it the way the book did. Even the alternate endings didn't work well for me. I enjoyed the movie, but the book is epic.
reply
Oh completely, because after I watched the movie, I was stuck trying to figure out exactly why he should be considered a "legend". After I read the book, the clouds were lifted.
reply
Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter? Did I read that right?
reply
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0311361/
reply
Johnny Vegas is in it, as himself? This I must see...
reply
It's a great little canuxploitation flick. I have the DVD signed by one of the stars.
reply
Hey, let's not forget the Blade series. Because the only thing better than being a vampire, is being half-vampire. That and seeing Jessica Biel kick some a** in that tight leather ensemble.
reply
I would remind everyone that Triple H (the WWE wrestler) wasa vampire in Blade Trinity. Draw your own conclusions about the Awesomeness from that. (He did own a vampire Pomeranian. I own a Pomeranian and even I wouldn't argue that Pomeranians are Awesome.)
reply
vampires were awesome before the whole twilight bull-crap came out... instead of ripping people to shreds lets sit in the woods and stare at each other .. plz nobody tell any 14 yr old emo girl about this site
reply
No, Vampires were ruined by Buffy. Twilight is the natural, moody, emo progression.
reply
You know what? No! Vampires were ruined by Anne Rice. I'll push it back that far. And I'll even go so far as to say that the only redeeming quality that vampires have going for them is Kate Beckinsale. Not Underworld, per se, just Kate Beckinsale.
reply
You know what? I want to nominate Kate Beckinsale in tight patent leather with guns for August.
reply
Vampires have officially been ruined by my wife's obsession with Twilight. I don't know when Vampires went from being horrible, vile, creatures of the night like Nosferatu, to moody, misunderstood, emo metrosexuals, but they've officially lost my vote.
reply
The Dude, you took the words right out of my mouth
reply
So goddamn true. Imagine Nosferatu having 'feelings'
reply
I think we need to differentiate between "Vampires" and "Vampyres." The former -- who are monstrous, evil, awesome SOBs -- are featured in 30 Days of Night, Let The Right One In, Nosferatu and The Lost Boys.
"Vampyres," on the other hand are misunderstood romanics with odd diets, often featured in pablum like Twilight, The Vampyre Diaries and Anne Rice novels.
reply
Completely ruined a girl at the bar last night. I told her I was reading Heinlein at the moment, she responded that she was reading the sparkling vampire series. Needless to say she did not get any free drinks.
