Vampires Suck

...but in a good way.
Now that Sopranos is over, my Sunday nights have been taken over by the new HBO show "True Blood." Saw the preview info at this year's SD Comic-Con, and was interested enough to give it a try. When I found out the show was based on a series of Southern America Vampire Novels though, I almost passed it by. Were the vamps raised on blood and gumbo? Was Paula Dean going to stop in with her recipe for blood sausage? I figured it was going to end up being very romantic and not a guy show at all.

After the first two episodes, all I can say is Holy Shit! I'm hooked. Anna Paquin does a good turn as the prim and proper Sookie. Stephen Moyer is quite engaging as the lead vamp, Bill Compton. And Lois Smith as Sookie's grandma is just as cute as punch. Wait, this sounds too girly - where's the guy stuff in all this mush?

Sex. Rough, breast-bouncing, ass-slapping sex my friends. Humans with humans. Vampires with humans. Vampires with vampires. Chained to the ceiling bondage humping. Just look for the two little puncture wounds on the inner thighs of most of the women in the show and you'll know who's been biting whom. And where...

This show gets two fangs up.
