Obama's Election Means a Return of Vampire Flicks
gyrogeerloose writes "In a column in Saturday's San Diego Union Tribune, Peter Rowe makes a connection between the popularity of horror movie genres and the political party in the White House. A Republican administration presides over a period of zombie movies while a Democrat in the Oval Office brings on a cycle of vampire movies. Why? Possibly because the two genres 'are really competing parables about class warfare.' Hmmmm, maybe. On the other hand, it might just be a coincidence." Socialists are best represented by lycanthropes, and the Libertarians are most closely tied to any sort of horror from space.
Wow, actually that makes perfect sense. Democrats suck, Republicans are mindless, socialists are hairy lunatics, and the best way to get rid of a libertarian is to nuke the site from orbit...It's the only way to be sure.
//Thinks the vampire movies have been coming out for a while now, actually.
ad logicam Claiming a proposition is false because it was presented as the conclusion of a fallacious argument.
Sorry, just couldn't resist.
We prefer Lunatarian, you insensitive clod!
And all this "change" bullshit. Why isn't music as good as it was back when I was young? You damn kids today and your habit of not doing things exactly the way I did them when I was your age! I'm OLD, damnit! Stop changing things! I told my dad I'd never be an old person, but that's going to happen if everything doesn't freeze in time exactly the way I left it! Get to it! Chop chop!
Would living dead films be considered horror films or documentaries?
And Bush presided over the resurgence of Torture Porn
I guess I'll go with the fuzzy fella.
I say we get torches and chase idle out of our humble /.
Suddenly the conversation I had in the car last week about neo-platonic duality doesn't make feel like a total outcast. Thank you.
