White Wolf should be pissed

[Glyndwr]

Vampires and werewolves fighting a secret war against a modern backdrop? Zeitgeist and angst? If I were the produces of the World of Darkness pen&paper roleplaying games series, I think I'd be rather annoyed. This film seems to have stolen most of its premise lock, stock and barrel.

In other news, it appears even /. itself is now slashdotted. Marvellous.

Nothing new under the sun

The Hollywood Business Plan:

1. Rip off the plot from Romeo and Juliet again.
2. Rip off the setting from White Wolf's World of Darkness.
3. Profit?

Seriously, the more new movies come out, the less I care. They're all boring and derivative anyway. Stolen plots, cardboard characters, and they only rely on some special effects to draw in the crowds.

And ironies of ironies, the MPAA is one of the organisations fighting against people making derivatives. Perhaps after a hundred years of strong copyright they might finally start making original movies again. Too bad I'll be dead...

Sigh. It seems the old philosopher was right: there is nothing new under the sun.
