Phone app that acts as your assistant. You can ask for the weather, for it to take notes, for it to set reminders.. which I can already do in other apps.

Sounds extremely hyperbolic to me.

I just love the aesthetic of old-school vampire fiction, folkloric monsters, and the massive capacity for metaphor inherent in vampires.

That, and I'm a sucker for Universal-style horror, so Dracula, Frankenstein and the Wolf Man are my darlings.

Frankenstein is more of a drama than a horror, the writer wrote it for her dead baby, so if you do the metaphor... :/

Oh, I know that. But the 1931 film and its sequels were horror. Horror that totally diverged from the point of the original story, but... horror.

Oh yes. It was a character to suffer with. It's amazing how even in the campy monster mash films, his performance rippled with emotion and made me take him seriously.

Yes, even in the Abbott & Costello film. I think he was that good.

I've never seen the Abbott & Costello films, but that is high praise and I can't disagree with it. He was one of the greats.

Personally I'm not that into vampires. I like books like Fevre Dream and Dracula because they're good books.
But the vampire thing... it's because they're sexy. Always have been. Dracula was written as a metaphor for Victorian peoples' fear of sex. As sex stopped being taboo, vampires stopped being scary. Simple as that.

And they started being misunderstood casanovas. I can live with that, actually, I like vampires too lately ...though not in a sexy way, maybe.

Maybe give Carmilla a read. Interesting book. It actually predates Dracula by 25 years. Probably the first lesbian vampire in fiction. It might just turn that maybe into a yes. ;)

I find it boring to discuss here, but a great lot of fun in person. It's a different kind of communication.

True, but people in my country don't really know what socialism is ...they confuse it with social democrasy and centrism all the time.
