REELZ CHANNEL – TOP 10 WUSSIEST VAMPIRES
REELZCHANNEL came up with a list of the top 10 wussiest vampires….um yeah…Edward is on it. At least he’s not number one – good news on that front. Coming in at number 8, Edward Cullen: (WARNING: adult language below!)
Novelist Anne Rice could well be called the originator of the wussy vampire with her not-so-vaguely homoerotic Vampire Chronicles series and the subsequent movie adaptations Interview with the Vampire and Queen of the Damned.A few years ago, young Mormon housewife Stephenie Meyer took Rice’s world as a jumping-off point, but Meyer set her tale of wussy vamps in modern times and aimed it squarely at the tweener set.
As we close in on the November 21st release of the first Twilight movie, we thought it a good time to sift through the annals of wussy vampires on the big screen. Although Rice’s and Meyer’s vampires la femme certainly qualify in terms of sheer androgyny, we’ve also included some vamps we simply don’t find terribly intimidating.
As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts. Disagree with our choices? Do you have a wussy vampire that should have made our list? Drop us a comment below.
8 Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson in Twilight)
I know, I know. Edward probably deserves a higher place on such a list. But don’t forget, he’s landed here based solely on the trailers. Once we’ve seen the entire movie, Edward’s sure to climb the ranks very quickly. Described by Twilight author Meyer as having pale marble skin, pouting full lips, and high cheekbones, Edward is the fantasy of many a young teenage girl, and probably a few guys in West Hollywood.
The list has Blade, Louis de Pointe du Lac, David, Dracula, Armand and Lestat. I totally disagree with this list. I think they just came up with it to annoy fans of any vamp stories. What do you think? Do you agree with the list? Why? why not?
