True Blood Take 2

So I got a new cable system which somehow allows me to watch HBO... did I order it, no...but this has happened before and they've never charged, so lets hope they don't do it now.

Anyhoo, so I decided to give True Blood another try and I must say, sans the gratuitous sex scenes, it is a great show. Like freaking great. I love the actor they got to play Bill, he's actually kinda hot...just saying. But my favorite is LaFayette. This guy kills every scene he's in. Seriously. I love that he's a "queen" but will get thug with it with no problem. LOL. Best scene of the movie; when the rednecks come in Merlottes talking bout LaFayette served them a burger with AIDS. He goes over to the table, effs em up real quick then says, "Bitch, you come into my house, you eat my food the way I FUCKING MAKE IT!!! Tip yo waitress." I'm sorry that was genius. Loves it man. Loves it.

I also like how they focus on other characters. Anna Paquin playing Sookie is irritating. Sorry it is. So its nice that they developed other characters like Jason, Sam and Tara. And I still love that they made Tara black. The best thing they coulda done. Just adds a little something.

Twilight the Movie

Is it just me or does this movie look like it is going to suck...thus not going to see it. Two things...I feel like Edward did not look like a heroin addict and thats what Robert Pattison looks like. I mean he didnt in Harry Potter... he was actually kinda cute as Cedric Diggory. But he looks a hot dirty mess right now. If they had kept him looking like Cedric but changed the hair color...maybe. But yeah, don't like it.

Plus I feel like when you see movies like this, it ruins the books for you. The Harry Potter books were ruined for me until the third movie. Well thats because the first two movies absolutly sucked. And I feel like Twilight is going to be like that.

I don't even know if I'll watch it on DVD. Just like the Sookie books were ruined by True Blood first sex scene for me... I don't think Imma risk it.

My Thoughts On TrueBlood

So I was really really anticipating this as everyone knows I love, "The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries". So I went to Blockbuster and they had the first episode available for preview. So of course I get it. So I watched it and I'm happy and very disappointed all at the same time.

It was just too much sex. It really wasn't that much, but it's like... this isn't Anita Blake. There wasn't that much graphicness of the sex in the book... so why did they have to overdo it in the movie? I'm just saying. I know it is HBO and they kinda had to sell the series to more than just vamp readers...but still. I was actually turned off. So I guess that means I will be more happy with Twilight then huh?

I'm just saying, they coulda done the sex scenes with a little more class. Just because it was on HBO doesn't mean I'm tryna see all that.

But overall... I'm pretty happy. They got the plot. SO surprised they made Tara black. Love that! Her and Lafayette were the best part. "I don't give a good got damn". YES!

And we all know Sookie was supposed to be on the chonkay side. Why is she a size 4? Just saying.

Overall, I enjoyed beside the gratuitious sex parts. I will watch next week just to see if they tone it down. If they don't, Imma have to watch the rated version. Two thumbs up though.

Not Really Feeling Bella Anymore

So I am more than halfway through "New Moon" and I'm getting kinda angry. Mostly because Bella is soooooo dependant. Like for real. You're all up on Edward and ish and then you get all up on Jacob. Hella co-dependant and ish. Imma need you to get a backbone. Yes, I know that when you break up with someone you feel this hole with burning festering sores and ish...but imma need you to not be so dependant.

I know they are trying to make Bella be, "Bella EveryGirl" but there is a limit. I can't wait till Edward comes back so she'll stop being so GD annoying.

GA DAMN! And don't hate because I'm irritated with Bella.

Twilight

So yes, like I thought, I have rave reviews for "Twilight" by Stephanie Meyers. Grrrrreat book. Now which one is better? The Sookie books or the Bella books? I actually don't think they can be compared. Charlaine Harris writes her books for adults so sometimes there are gratuitous relations scenes and it is written in a bit more of a comical twist. I mean she is no Anita Blake with the nastyness, but there is some. Now Stephanie Meyers is written toward the young adult audience so there are no serious relations scenes or anything like that.

But the main difference is the straight up emotion. I'm talking you actually feel for these characters. You feel how much Bella needs Edward and you can feel the pull and push factors that Edward has toward Bella. Seriously though, it is almost heartwrenching.

For instance, I started on "New Moon" last night (actually, Im around 1/3 done with the book in a sitting)... and the the third chapter had me kind of upset. When he left her, I was kinda upset, and then when they had the 4 pages with the months and nothing on it... I just got kinda sad. LOL. I mean that was genius right there.

I also think part of the difference between the two books is that nature of the vampires in the two books. In the Sookie books, the vamps are out and everyone knows about them. In the Bella books, they are not out and only a few select people, including Bella and the weres know about them. Also, the vamps in the Bella books seem to be a bit more ravenous too. Any trace of blood sets them off.

Anyway, if you like vampire books like the Sookie books, then the Bella books would be a good choice. But if you read vampire books for the carnal relations, don't read it... this is nothing like Anita Blake (or so I hear cuz I refuse to read her)
