True Blood Blood Copy: HUMAN PETS

May 21st, 2009

What a terrible, sad state of affairs. It disgusts me not only to see vampires enslaving humans for their own means, but they have other humans acting as slave masters. Truly foul behavior on both parts. There are enough legitimately interested humans to fulfill the needs of the vampire population. There is no need to entrap them against their will, enslave them, treat them as chattel.

Evil isn’t just limited to vampires or humans. Evil is a choice these individuals have made. And the victims are left to live - and die - with the consequences. My only hope is that the show that aired this footage will work just as hard to assist the authorities in the apprehension of the criminals that appear in it.

Dead and Gone: the Sookie / Eric blood bond

We recently looked at all the instances in Book 9 when sookie mentioned her unusual physical, emotional and mental feelings . Here are some mentions of the blood bond.
See what you think..did I miss any ?

The closer I got to the vampire bar, the more my pulse picked up; this was the downside to the blood bond I had with Eric Northman. I knew I was going to see him, and I was simply happy about it.

The wave of delight wasn't necessarily related to Eric's gorgeousness or the fact that we'd bumped pelvises, though. The blood bond was responsible.
Maybe. I had to fight the feeling pg24

At least he didn't try to sugarcoat it by saying, "I thought he might bother you" or "I did it for your own good." No matter how bonded we were-and I was actually struggling against the temptation to smile at him-I felt the hair on the back of my neck rising at Eric managing my life like this.

"This is for your protection, dear heart," he said. He was trying to be serene so that some of that serenity would run through our bond and drown my agitation

It's hard to explain how the bond made me feel. No matter how furious I got with Eric, I was happier when I was with him. It wasn't that I yearned for him uncontrollably when we were separated; it was just that I was aware of him. All the time. I wondered if it was the same for him.pg26

It was the first time I'd come to Fangtasia simply to talk, without having been called there for some vampire reason. Blood bond or something much more natural? "I think . . . I just wanted some company," I said. "No soul-shaking revelations."

"I've done a stupid thing, and I don't know how I feel about it," I said.So I told her the long story, beginning with the incident in Rhodes where I'd exchanged blood with Eric for what turned out to be one too many times. I told her about the weird bond we had as a result.
"So how are you feeling about Eric?" Tara asked.
"I don't know," I said. "There are things I almost love about him, and things about him that scare the hell out of me. And I really . . . you know . . . want him. But he pulls tricks for what he says is my own good. I believe he cares about me. But he cares about himself mostly."
Pg51

"Also, Eric more or less owns a piece of you because of this blood-bond thing. Which he didn't necessarily plan out in advance, to give him
credit."52

"Will this change the blood bond?" I asked. I was careful not to sound like I was accusing him of something. But of course, I was."Felipe wanted you.
The stronger our bond, the less chance there is he can maneuver you away."I flinched. "I can't do that."
"You won't need to," Eric said, his voice flowing over me like a feather quilt. "We are pledged with the knife. We are bonded. He can't take you from me."

"I don't know if the-comfort-I feel with you is the blood exchange or a feeling I would've had naturally," I said, pg 81

If I'd let Andre share blood that night, I'd be free now, since he's dead. I still couldn't decide how I felt about that-probably three different ways.

"The blood exchange has worked both ways," he said. "I've had the blood of many women. I've had almost utter control over them. But they never drank mine. It's been decades, maybe centuries since I gave any woman my blood.
Maybe not since I turned Pam."

Night would fall soon. Since Eric and I had bonded, I'd found myself thinking of him every day as the sky grew dark. Now that we'd slept together, my thoughts had turned into cravings. I tried to stuff him in the back of my mind on the drive to the bar, but he persisted in popping to the fore.

I didn't feel happy or content, so I knew that even the bond was exhausted, at least temporarily. Pg129

HBO Canada sinks its teeth into a second season of HBO's hit series True Blood

Man, HBO Canada is excited!

- Anna Paquin returns in her Golden Globe(R)-winning role as Sookie
Stackhouse

- Season two premieres Sunday, June 14 on HBO Canada, day-and-date with
HBO in the U.S.

TORONTO, May 21 /CNW/ - A perky telepathic waitress and her 173-year-old vampire soul mate, born-again brother, shape-shifting boss and foul-tempered pal are back for a new season of the acclaimed HBO drama series True Blood.
HBO Canada, a multiplex channel from Corus Entertainment's Movie Central (Western Canada) and Astral Media's The Movie Network (Eastern Canada), bites into season two of True Blood on Sunday, June 14 at 9 p.m. ET/MT.

The critically-acclaimed, sexy, intense and wildly entertaining series from Oscar(R)- and Emmy(R)-winning creator and executive producer Alan Ball (Six Feet Under) is based on the best-selling Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris and tells the tale of a small Louisiana town where vampires live openly amongst their human counterparts, thanks to the invention of mass-produced synthetic blood. The series follows the unconventional romance between waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) and her relationship with Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), the town's first vampire.

'True Blood': I'm a sucker for it

Folks being won over by the dvds..great !

When True Blood premiered last season, I watched the first few episodes and gave it what amounted to a shrug of a review. The Alan Ball series about Southern vampires, based on Charlaine Harris' bestselling novels, didn't seem all that original to me, and I wrote that the two main stars, Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, "frequently get lost in a series in which they're the central couple."

Well, thanks to the new first-season DVD compilation, I just finished watching the entire season and I now write as a convert: True Blood just kept getting better and better, and I'm officially eager to see Season Two when it starts June 14.

9-year-old filmmaker invited to play N.J. film festival at Rutgers

Read on, how they fight off the vampire is very inventive (HA)

NEW BRUNSWICK -- Unlike many 9-year-olds, Fanwood's Emma Kenney wasn't content to just watch a vampire movie. She wanted to write and direct a film about the mythological creature, too.

Emma's cinematic undertaking didn't surprise those who know her. She's been interested in acting and the arts from a very young age.

But when her film "The New Girl in Town" was selected to play in the New Jersey International Film Festival at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, friends and family gave her more credibility.

"I was shocked," said Emma's mother, Gillian Fisher. "When we found out she was accepted, I sent an e-mail asking if this was correct. I didn't want to tell her if it was a mistake."

Actress Anna Paquin might have endeared herself to many for her breakthrough performance in The Piano, but these days she's known as the telepathic Sookie Stackhouse on HBO's acclaimed vampire drama True Blood. The 26-year-old star has been making headlines lately for her work on the series, especially since she snagged a Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a TV Drama. What's more, she's also found romance on and off-screen with actor Stephen Moyer.Paquin was recently interviewed by Hamptons Magazine and appeared on the cover of their current Memorial Day issue. She discussed her experiences on filming True Blood, how she felt about the Golden Globe honor, and of course her boyfriend.

"Steve and I had a certain instant connection," she told the publication. "It doesn't hurt when the relationship on screen that you're trying to create is one of attraction and fascination."

True Blood Blood Copy : Vampires everywhere and a new perspective

VAMPIRES, VAMPIRES, EVERYWHERE

May 20th, 2009

So here’s a question for you, dear readers: what do you think of when you hear the word “Vampire”? Do you think about sex and V and vampire clubs and music with pounding bass lines? Really??? Vampires have been around for thousands of years and you think all we’re good for is putting on a good rave?

Clearly your parents haven’t taught you the evils of stereotyping. With all that vampires have to offer you, all the effort we’re putting into this relationship, why do you keep slapping labels on us? No, we don’t all wear capes. No, we don’t all crave the blood of innocents. No, we don’t all wield whips. No, we don’t all ravish your women and oh by the way, we can see ourselves in mirrors. We’re trying, here. We’re reaching out to you. You may not want to shake our hands, but at least put down the stakes when we offer them.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE

May 20th, 2009

Not to get too big a head, but it appears that BloodCopy is getting some attention.

I’ve just gotten a copy of the latest episode of THE PERSPECTIVE, hosted by Victoria Davis, and not only is she joining the growing vampire bandwagon by sharing video tidbits featuring we of the pale skin, but she even offers a direct shout out to yours truly (okay, to the site he runs… but close enough).

For those who perhaps haven’t seen our earlier posts on a vampire busker, pissed off Goth bar owner, ATM Withdrawal gone awry, or clips from the latest episode of the L.E.S. , this show does a wonderful job of presenting and contextualizing said videos in an entertaining and tidy news segment. And for those who have seen them… let’s just say nothing’s lost in a repeat viewing, especially with added commentary by the unparalleled Ms. Davis.

Seeing this truly brings a smile to my fanged face, and only further justifies the decision made by some very smart people to bring Bloodcopy — ah, wait I almost gave it away again, didn’t I? No worries, I’ll spill that secret soon enough.

Acting is in the blood of True Blood' cast member Carrie Preston

By RICK BENTLEY - McClatchy Newspapers

When journeyman actor Carrie Preston was hired for the cast of the HBO vampire series "True Blood," she knew her role was to provide the comic relief.

You can see what Preston did with the role of Arlene during the first season of "True Blood," which came out on DVD Tuesday. (And when the second season of the show starts June 14 on cable channel.)

Pay particular attention to the first-season finale, where Preston's role goes way beyond being a comic relief.

A huge chunk of the first season of "True Blood" - when it was not dealing with vampire lust, shape-shifting and bar fights - dealt with a murder mystery. It is Preston's character who ends up being a key figure in that storyline, which resulted an uncharacteristic heavy emotional moment.

"It was a very emotional episode. But, it was really great to be given that task and responsibility. I was responsible for the gravitas of the situation," Preston says during a telephone interview.

Go ask Dallas: What's up with that yellow sweater outfit we see Sookie wearing in the True Blood trailer?

Hey "D"

What's up with this outfit ? This isn't what she's wearing in the books is it ?

Thanks, V

Hey "V"

There has been lots of buzz, and none of it good about what Sookie is wearing as she arrives in Dallas on Anubis Air in the promo video.

Anyone know where you can buy (or not buy) this sweater ?

This is NOT the outfit she is wearing in the book. She is wearing a gray suit that she bought from Tara's Togs

From Page 40 Living Dead in Dallas

"You look very pretty, Sookie. Your clothes are just right."
"Thanks," I said, relieved and pleased. Bill had insisted that I needed to look "professional," and after I'd said, "Professional what?" he'd given me one of thoselooks. So I was wearing a gray suit over a white
shell, with pearl earrings and a black purse and heels. I'd even smoothed my hair back into a twisted shape at the back of my head with one of those Hairagamis I'd ordered from TV.

My friend Arlene had helped me. To my mind, I looked like a professional, all right—a professional funeral home attendant—but Bill seemed to approve. And I'd charged the whole outfit to him at Tara's Togs, since it was a legitimate business expense. So I couldn't complain about the cost.
