Oh ya...This brings back memories. Wow...I still say they make worse stuff these days; way worse. At least this was grown men acting overly-sexed and phoney; somehow when it's thirteen-year-olds like Rebecca Black it's just plain wrong.

Yes; thanks for posting this. Salem's Lot is just about the most underrated tv miniseries ever. I'd love to visit Ferndale. I have two words to say: F--- Twilight.

@morsmortis Your analogy is perfect; pedophilia is an equal opportunity mental disease though; men with boys and men with girls too...Since homosexuality is clearly a cousing of pedophilia I guess that means we shut out straight soldiers too though. Do I follow your logic correctly?

@Dar0A0Nakk Number one: DADT didn't prevent gays from serving and didn't 'protect' straights from gays because if you could fake it, you could get by. Number two: the true question of fairness boils down to whether or not everyone is given an equal chance to make it on their own merits, regardles...

@forsakenomen1 Actually; most Afghani's weren't actually in Al Qaeda and likewise the majority of Germans didn't belong to the Nazi party. If you read Hitler's book you'd see that he deliberately kept most people out of the party; he just wanted their vote. At Nuremberg, the ring leaders of an ou...

It is truly an American disgrace that ANY person (let alone a grinning tyrant like Bush) gets installed into the presidency against the majority vote and without a plurality. That is an absolute outrage. Our grandchildren will shake their heads. John Merriman, professor at Yale University, agrees...

What a man. I'm not sure what that comment, below, is supposed to mean. The only thing I'd whine about now would be that people who are prejudiced these days are falling out of the mainstream and will soon be ostracized.

There's no doubt about it. I'm afraid of flamers. That's probably got a lot do to with the fact that I had to repress myself in order to survive high school; old habits die hard; there's a place inside me that still feels unsafe in the presence of homosexuality. I admit, it's hyprocitical. As ba...

The re-make didn't have the profoundly creepy quality of the 1979 mini-series, no, but I think you're being pretty harsh. It was a unique treatment of the vampires as something phantom-like at times; which is more true to King's novel. I also think that it's a good choice to keep Barlow as bestia...

Yes, thank you, Fuck Twilight.

@gramcracka35 Investors didn't make any of his movies. At best, they helped to fund it. It's ambition and creativity that enable people like MM to produce stuff the rest of us like, not capitalism. These qualities do not depend on the profit motive. But their success is being limited by it.

I was shaking my head wondering if he was truly just kidding around. Granted, we're seeing it out of context. The point is that it was seriously unworthy of a senior military officer - at best - and at worst, deliberately hateful. We wouldn't hesitate it if he'd used the n-word rather than 'fag'....

Well said. Call it Marxism if you like - I call it Democracy. Rule of the people. Not just the elite.

I do understand most of what you just mentioned and I doubt that it helps to rub people's nose in technical jargon. Politics has its own challenges and there are hacks in science too; plenty of them.
