Vampire Rules
Having a hard time keeping all the vampire rules straight these days?
Well, who can blame you!
The rules change depending on whether you’re in Buffy’s, Bella’s or Bill’s world.
But never fear! Where there are many rules, there are crib notes.
And now, if you want a quick and handy guide to who’s got fangs, what’s for dinner and the level of SPF you’ll need, USA Today spells it all out.
Now, any questions?
And Now it’s Buffy Versus Bella!
First we had the Angel versus Edward debate. Now it’s all about Buffy versus Bella!
Roll up your sleeve, BCNN viewers/readers, because we’ve got a battle going on. In the Smith College student paper, the writer posits that “Twilight” vampires are merely eye candy, the whole story is just a rescue fantasy and at its core “Twilight” is mostly a polemic against premarital sex.
By contrast, Buffy’s relationships with her suitors – some vampires themselves – were always complex, scary and unresolved. Sort of like REAL teenage relationships!
Is Twilight merely a “lobotomized” version of the vampire myth? Is Bella a role model or not? Or is Buffy the one to emulate? “After all, Buffy the Vampire Slayer may have had premarital sex with the undead, but she still managed to go to college and save the world from the apocalypse,” the paper said.
What do you think?

Angel vs. Edward? Or maybe Jacob? Who do you Root For?
Let’s play a game. If you had to bet on who’d take who in an epic vampire showdown – would you wager on Angel or Edward? This one is so easy, people, and I know who I’d pick. But I’m not going to show my hand right away. I want to know what you think. Weigh in with a comment and then I’ll come back tomorrow and tell you who I’m rooting for.
Why do I ask, you wonder? Because “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” actress Michelle Trachtenberg opined on this very topic on MTV.com, saying it would be a battle to the “pointy teeth” between these two fictional vampires.
Anyway, Angel was the brooding, sexy, badass vampire with a soul in the Buffy series, and Edward is the glittery, controlling, annoying, petulant, whiny – oh sorry, I guess I just admitted who I want to win – in the “Twilight” books…
(PS: I was on Team Jacob ALL along. But that’s not really a surprise, is it?)
