Gamer Geek Wank
White Wolf Games wants to sue Sony pictures for the movie Underworld, claiming that Sony is committing copyright infringement for using themes like Werewolves and Vampires and street wars between the two.

Here is an article about the suit. The comments there have some wank value, as does the the discussion about the suit on the Something Positive Livejournal community.

No one wanks like geeks, and damn, are they...

They all seem to have seen radically different previews than I.

My first reaction was "Wow that's going to be a poorly-lit movie."

Interesting, that was my second reaction. My first was, "Oh, look. It's the previously kept secret bastard love child of Anne Rice and a Wachowski brother."

Just one of them. They're a hive mind, and even the people who brought us an eight-minute Keanu-ass/slowmo-nudie-rave wouldn't have okayed this one.

How long do you think it'll be before Anne Rice chimes in? "You can't use vampires!" I predict her shrieking, banshee-like. "Vampires are my propertAAAAAAAAAAY!"

I have hazy memories of some massive Anne Rice wank, back in the days before LJ and JF--didn't she go on the warpath and have her lawyers smite verily all ficcers writing in her universe?

hrm, I like AAR's books. Is there some kerfuffle I don't know about?

No, I just have a strong (admittedly somewhat wanky and sour grapes-ish) dislike for her :3;

Wasn't this wanked before? Or at least something similar... I remember White Wolf was involved, since I like some of their books.

There was a comic strip about it about a week ago, I think.

Yep! That's Munder. I know it's hard to tell since his profoundly dirty ponytail is hidden in his jacket.

I have my fingers crossed that someone will write Munder/Kyan.

Has this been wanked before?

Heh. It's funny, but the first time I ever saw a trailer for that movie I thought "Is this an adaption of the game Vampire: The Masquerade?" I guess White Wolf thought the same thing LOL

Dude, so does this mean that White Wolf will come and sue me now for the smutty vampire/werewolf pr0nfic deep and probing examination of the consequences of temperate immortality juxtaposed against unfettered carnality back in high school?

I think that pretty much depends on whether you're going to make millions in box office and merchandising which WW can angle for a cut of.
