I love that True Blood is totally tongue-in-cheek. I don't know about you, but I read the first book after I started watching the show and found that sense of humor missing.
I haven't read the books! But it is definitely my favorite part of the show. If it tried to take itself too seriously, it would fall flat on its face. That, plus...things like the fact that the show is totally aware of the fact that Bill is creepy and misogynistic and plays on that, instead of Twilight where it's like OMG THIS IS SO CREEPY AND MISOGYNISTIC and you can tell that Stephenie Meyer totally thinks it's wonderful and romantic.
I haven't read Twilight either. I just watched the movie.
*spoiler alert*
it was hilarious!!!!!! the vamp SPARKLED. which is kind of wrong on many levels. and they're "vegetrian," which more or less means they don't drink "human" blood, but rather animal. which really should not be called vegetarian - maybe non-human-itarian! but not vegetarian. cause, well, vegetables....
I should totally check out True Blood. I've heard several sources say it's good. plus Anna Paquin for the win!
Yeah, I saw the movie and I know the general premise. From what I understand, the movie is about ten times better than the book, which sort of frightens me.
