I should read the books so I can see how Meyer presents the characters. It would be easy for me to get through them I'm sure.

oh I haven't seen Blood and Chocolate - I'll have to look for it!
I love werewolves - probably more than vampires!

I think that as I got in to vampires long before I took an interest in werewolves (which may seem strange for someone who's favourite animal is a wolf!) I'll nearly always pick vampires over werewolves. I don't much like the man in a hairy suit type of were, but the ones that morph into actual wolves I think are pretty cool, like in True Blood, Twilight, Blood and Chocolate, Kelley Armstrong's werewolf series, and Vampire Diaries.

I guess I'm the same - I've been into vampires longer than werewolves. and I agree - the man in the wolf suit is silly - I saw the remake of Wolfman with Benicio Del Toro when I was on the plane. it was interesting, but not the best werewolf movie ever made. I love the real wolf types too - the ones in the Twilight movie are quite fun!

I'm trying to remember about the wolves in the old movies Company of Wolves and The Howling I seem to recall they were quite scary wolves too. And there's also Silver Bullet. lots of good wolf movies!

I haven't ever watched Vampire Diaries but I feel like I should - everyone seems to like it. but it seems like more Twilight stuff... is it good?

The book series that Vampire Diaries is based on predates Twilight by a number of years, though obviously it's the popularity of Twilight that has made it viable as a TV Show.

As for similarity to Twilight: I find that Stefan can be a little too Edward like at times, but Elena seems to avoid most of Bella's worse traits, and it is set in high school like most of these things. The best character is Stefan's brother Damon played by Ian Somerhalder (Boone from Lost), he steals every scene he is in, I guess he's basically the bad boy type but he's so much more interesting than Stefan - and he has amazing eyes.

I guess it's one of my guilty pleasure shows, one that doesn't take too much brain power but is fun and has vampires (and witches and werewolves!).

hm now I wonder if I should read the books at least - I might be able to find them on Amazon.com here in Japan. I hardly have time for more shows - I need to spend my time doing more productive stuff as it is.

oh but I might need to watch for Ian Somerhalder - he's gorgeous!

and if it has witches and werewolves - why am I not watching it??
