from menstyle- after talking to the guy fans on the radio show, I'm always interested in what that fan base is talking about I liked "gonzo Southern Gothic" and "two 2009 Mr. Skin Anatomy Awards for best use of nudity in a television" ;-0
The past few years have been good to vampires, thanks largely to a pure-of-heart series you may be familiar with (ahem, Twilight) and a prurient one you may not be. The first season of the latter, HBO's True Blood, arrives on DVD today. Alan Ball's (Six Feet Under; American Beauty) drama got a slow—and thanks to a jargony viral marketing campaign, confusing—start, but it's quietly grown into one of the best shows on television you haven't had time to watch. The gist: In the town of Bon Temps, vampires and humans live uneasily together, and inexplicably telepathic waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) lives between their two worlds. But the plot is less important than the mood, a sort of gonzo Southern Gothic: Think Twin Peaks set in sultry Louisiana, and you're not far off the mark. Emphasis on "sultry"—not for nothing did True Blood pick up (in addition to a Golden Globe, and Saturn and Writers' Guild nominations) two 2009 Mr. Skin Anatomy Awards for best use of nudity in a television program. Of course, you're above such base concerns. But just in case you're not, we thought you'd like to know.
$32.99, available at amazon.com; True Blood's second season begins June 14 on HBO
