True Blood Episode 5 " Never let me go " what you should know !

OK, here is all we know about Episode 5 -the music, video promos, casting calls and episode descriptions etc

HERE

Here are some screen shots from probably the next 2 episodes and WOW!


Baton Rouge native part of ‘True Blood’ season

Not involved in the filming in Clinton recently but very much a part of this season’s “True Blood” vampire series is Baton Rouge native and actor Wes Brown.

Brown is playing Luke, roommate to character Jason Stackhouse, at the Light of Day leadership camp.

“Luke is extraordinarily religious, competitive, and doesn’t want to be second to Jason Stackhouse,” Brown said Tuesday from Los Angeles, where he’s lived since 2005. “He’s overly obsessed with an anti-vampire church going on in Dallas.”

Brown is being featured in seven episodes of Louisiana-set “True Blood” this season. Three of his episodes have already aired. Another airs at 8 tonight on HBO (premium movie Channel 300).

Brown had never seen “True Blood” when he auditioned, but three auditions later, after landing the role of Luke, he sat down and watched the entire first season.

“A couple of episodes into it, I was hooked just like everybody else,” he said.

“When the episode would end, I would have to know what happens next, and I couldn’t figure out why. That’s just credit to the talent of the writing staff, and the casting directors and the producers. The team of people behind it is truly the best in the business.”

Critically acclaimed its first time out, “True Blood,” about regulars and vampires living in the small town of Bon Temps, has gained a loyal following, evidenced by the many fan sites and message boards online.

“It’s just fun, like enjoying Halloween. You get lost in that world for just a little bit,” Brown said.

Brown had nothing but praise for HBO and series creator Alan Ball, also the mastermind behind HBO’s “Six Feet Under.”

    Glenn Beck: The Vampire Remix

    Sorry, I have to post this -it's about Vampires! ;-)
    He really had this melt down on his radio show this week ...hilarious



    This is the real actual exchange HERE

    Rough Sex With Vampires: What Does "True Blood" Tell Us About Women and Sexuality?

    From Alternet

    The show seems to be growing towards a more natural and nuanced depiction of sexuality for the women in the vampire-filled town of Bon Temps.

    To talk about True Blood is to talk about sex: barely a scene goes by without something between innuendo and a full-on orgy. This isn’t new to vampire fiction, as Latoya Peterson pointed out in a piece for Double X. That the sexuality of the female leads is under heavy scrutiny is no surprise, given how much horror fiction has centered on feminine helplessness. To Peterson, the current crop of pointy-toothed dramas continues the genre’s fascination with sexual violence and the idealization of the chaste woman. I can’t fault her for taking issue with eroticized depictions of abuse, often against women. But she’s wrong to equate the sexual politics of True Blood with those of the abstinent, repressed Twilight.

    These two are not the same animal. Twilight’s Bella Swan is a virgin until marriage, and the influence of author Stephanie Meyer’s Mormon ideals is well-covered territory. The entire series is heavy with the sex the characters can’t have; it gets its charge from the tantalizing and unattainable. Sookie Stackhouse, the female lead of True Blood, may have started as a virgin, but soon she, like almost every other character on the show, is getting down, having grimy, (sometimes wildly unhygienic sex) with her vampire boyfriend Bill. But despite her “transgression,” Sookie remains the heroine of the series.

    Actor lays down the law in HBO series ‘True Blood’

    I love interviews with Sanderson - he is so no- nonsense! From newsOK

    William Sanderson is working on his second critically acclaimed HBO series in a row, having gone from "Deadwood” to "True Blood” — but the veteran performer hasn’t let that go to his head.

    "I’m a journeyman actor,” he says. "I don’t do all the episodes of ‘True Blood.’ I haven’t seen all the scripts, so I can’t say if I live or die, but I certainly am more humble.”

    For three seasons on "Deadwood,” set in a late 19th-century mining town in South Dakota, the Tennessee native played the scheming hotel owner E.B. Farnum.

    In "True Blood,” airing its second season Sundays on HBO, set in the fictional modern-day town of Bon Temps, La., Sanderson plays Sheriff Bud Dearborne.

    Unlike Farnum, Dearborne has a more presentable appearance. "I get to shave,” Sanderson says. "And he’s a normal person so far.”

    Fan Art II another talented fan creates a Bill doll


    Wow, from Nina Mason dolls ..

    I didn't realize I was going to attract the attention of Stephen Moyer fans with my little post yesterday about making a Bill Compton doll. But since it looks like I have, and since I've nearly finished him today, I thought I'd post a few preliminary pictures. Notice that he's wearing Civil War era attire. The boots are sculpted and painted, as are his face, torso and hands. His pants are the high-waisted style of the period, supported by braces that cross in the back and attach with little leather bits (from vintage kid gloves) and brass buttons. The pants themselves are a charcoal/navy cashmere with a tiny texture running through the fabric. His shirt is a three-button style, open to show his manly chest. I didn't give him a waistcoat because I didn't want to cover his braces. Although I am tempted, because I'd like to give him a pocket watch. I did give him a full-length duster because, well, let's face it, dusters are sexy.

    True Blood in Texas: Stephen Moyer Gives Us a Taste

    From TV Guide

    As brooding vampire Bill Compton, British actor Stephen Moyer is right at the center of the bloodthirsty buzz surrounding HBO's hit True Blood (Sundays at 10 pm/.ET). Not a bad place to be, right?

    Not so fast. Moyer's character virtually disappears in the third of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels, on which the show is based. And while series creator Alan Ball is clearly creating his own path (see the non-death of Book 1 casualty Lafayette on the show), shouldn't Moyer worry a little? Nah.

    "That gives Alan the opportunity to invent something," Moyer tells TVGuide.com. "Just like last season with the V trips — they had to invent that. And they're very good at it. So I'm confident that however they keep him there, they'll make Bill's story interesting."

    Check out our favorite TV and movie vampires

    That's not to say his arc this season hasn't given him plenty to sink his teeth into. Bill's playing daddy to a newborn bloodsucker, while also trying to keep afloat his turbulent relationship with Sookie (Anna Paquin), who is increasingly being eyed by Bill's sheriff, Eric (Alexander Skarsgard). Moyer promises that the road trip to Texas will reveal much more about who Eric was (and is) and further flesh out the vampire world.

    "Toward the end of the season, we're going to see the hierarchy taken almost to its peak," he says. "We're going to meet the monarchy, if you will. Last year, we met the grand judge of Louisiana, and this year we're going to meet the monarch of Texas. But he's not the monarch of America. It's kind of an almost feudal system. I love the idea of this incredibly detailed society in which manners are very important as to how you relate to people that are above you.

    True Blood on FX: it’s brilliant; it’s filthy and Bill Compton’s (Stephen Moyer) is a smokin’ piece of undead ass

    I must admit I'm getting a big kick from the first reviews of TB as it premiers on UK television. It's like revisiting the newness all over again. From Times Online UK

    If you are one of those people who are troubled by a long, hot summer at the best of times — coming down with “sexy hay- fever” on a potent combination of thigh, wine, cigarettes at dusk and the distant sound of cats on roofs — then I must thoroughly dis-recommend True Blood, Alan American Beauty/Six Feet Under Ball’s new series. Not that it’s easy to be disrupted by it, anyway. It’s premiering on the FX channel, which, for many, is the equivalent of putting it roughly 12 miles offshore, in a dinghy, surrounded by police incident tape. You’re not likely to trip over it in your day-to-day TV business.

    But as it’s due to transfer to Channel 4 in October we may as well be TV pioneers and deal with it now. Everyone will be talking about it this summer, anyway. And then going for a long, cold shower, before spending an hour looking through a catalogue of concrete renders and finishes in order to calm down a bit.

    There are just two key facts, really: it’s brilliant; and it’s filthy. Set in the fictional north Louisiana town of Bon Temps — all bayou, margaritas, Spanish moss and hot pants — True Blood exists in a fractionally different world from ours, where the development of synthetic blood, and the Vampire Rights Amendment, mean that vampires live openly in Scandinavia, and the US. Angelina Jolie has adopted a vampire baby.

    Nonetheless, when Bill Compton’s (Stephen Moyer) smokin’ piece of undead ass walks into Merlotte’s Bar, it’s the first vampire the backwater town has ever seen. “That is trouble, looking for a place to happen,” says Tara, one of the barmaids and, coincidentally, the “Categorically Most Enjoyably Arsey Woman” ever to have been portrayed on screen.

    Jimmy Fallon takes on those other vampires

    True Blood goes to the movies : Anna Paquin stars in 'Almost Famous'

    OK, the Jimmy Fallon interview helped me get the idea for this week's " True Blood goes to the movie "
    Yes, I do this every week - I suggest a movie you can watch starring one of your favorite True Blood actors and this week it's "Almost Famous'( which had both Jimmy Fallon and Anna Paquin in it).

    William Miller is a 15 year old kid, hired by Rolling Stone magazine to tour with, and write about Stillwater, an up and coming rock band. This wonderfully witty coming of age film follows William as he falls face first to confront life, love, and lingo

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0181875/

    cast
    Patrick Fugit ... William Miller

    Zooey Deschanel ... Anita Miller

    Michael Angarano ... Young William

    Anna Paquin ... Polexia Aphrodisia

    Fairuza Balk ... Sapphire

    Noah Taylor ... Dick Roswell

    Philip Seymour Hoffman ... Lester Bangs

    Liz Stauber ... Leslie

    This is the Anna " let's deflower the kid scene"

    Anna Paquin on Jimmy Fallon
