Is green the new pale?

Tonight I went to see the new Harry Potter movie. First of all, scariest movie I have seen in a while. Seriously, how are children supposed to sit through that? Also, it wins a lot of hilarious and awkward awards, but overall, still thoroughly enjoyed it!

Now, as many of you may know about me, my favorite part of actually going to the the movies is the PREVIEWS. Nothing is better than a movie trailer! Especially ones for intense movies. The thrilling music, the fast paced harsh editing, the cliffhanger clips, it's all just awesome. I think that would be a sweet job. Making movie trailers. Or just watching them. Love it.

Anyway. Tonight, a couple of the movie trailers made me question a possible trend in our society.ARE ALIENS ARE THE NEW VAMPIRES?

There were multiple previews, one being the gem above (click picture for movie trailer), which seem to be emphasizing a trend of aliens in films to come. There was also a preview for that Tron movie, and some other one's that I'm now blanking on because all I can think about is how sad I am about Dobby.

Although the aliens were, on the most part, not necessarily being sexified like vampires have been in our society lately, I think there is still time for that. The Avatar sex was maybe just a hint into it. Maybe we're getting bored of vampires and the undead. Maybe our obsession with vampires and their powers is suggesting a boredom with our own lives and the problems within our society. Perhaps it's time to take our obsession away from immorality, sex, and vampiric powers in order to solve our social anxieties, and instead focus on... another world entirely.
