Sookie Stackhouse Series

The Sookie Stackhouse Series by Charlaine Harris is "fangtastic" (sorry, I couldn't help myself).

I first started the series after the first season of True Blood, which is the HBO tv series based on the books. I was fascinated by the tv show and I just had to have more of Sookie and Bill.

Season 2 of True Blood starts Sunday June 14, 2009.

I am anticipating the show because the books were so amazing and full of action and death and guts and sex and love and twisted drama. I really can't wait to see how the story of Bill's betrayal will be portrayed into the tv show because he was never who he really said he was. Which was a huge shocker and total disappointment. But after reading the 10th book in the series. I have an inkling that she might finally be happy with the sex god.

Not that I wouldn't like her being with Eric, who I might add I have had plenty fantasies with that handsome viking.....viking me....hmmmm anyways.

Try to catch the set either in the book form or tv show. Here goes my ops on the book series:


Its about a lonely mind reading cajun girl aged 25 meeting and falling in love with a sexy vampire Bill. She falls for him, makes him her lover, and then finds out the truth about him. That he was sent by the Queen of Louisiana to investigate and keep tabs on her.

Sookie, of course is crushed to find out that the only man she has ever loved and bed was a liar and fake. But was his love? This is a question that has been tried to be prooved time and time again through all the books. Does he love her? How much more can he say or do to show her that he only wants her?
But all these questions are things that Sookie puts on the back burner because she keeps getting mixed up in vampire, were, witch, shapeshifting, and fairy politics with and without her consent most of the time.
She is a product of the wrong place and wrong time, with the wrong someone most of the time. On top of that she simply cant seem to stray away from a friend in need either.

Along the way, she falls for two other men, another vampire the viking (and erotic) Eric Northman and the very sexy WereTiger Quinn. Although she seldom gets a chance to bang the shit out of her men, the few times she does, it is intense.

Book ten Dead And Gone, left me with a certainty that Charlaine Harris is not done with playing around with Sookie's characters. She really seems to involve herself fully to her story and love triangle that Sookie has going on. I like that she has written so many books, unlike Stephanie Meyer who quit at 4 books. Either way, the new tv show is making Charlaine gain new motivation to write in dollars and sense.

Big Love. Big Trouble?






Wow this weeks episode was intense. Like all family situations, when in close quarters everyone's sanity gets lost the longer they are together. And this Sunday the truth came out for everyone. Bill is trying to find his way through his family with his beliefs; Nicki's secret with her birth control came to light along with her own unpredicted crush becoming grander with the lawyer that tried to put her father in jail; Margene had naked time with Ben and she finally coped with her drunken mothers death; Ben's sexual arousal by the indescent moment is put to light; Sarah's pregnancy comes to a halt quickly after its reveal; Teeny needs a make over....and Barb is suffering for all the drama in her family.

This had been a roller coaster of a season and I cannot wait to see next Sundays episode. I was also thinking about how much of a risk taker HBO is on placing this show on a Sunday time slot. Really on the mother of all mothers of a day of religion. I really do come to appreciate the balls on the network..really bravo. I have been following this show with so much intrigue since its inception to television and it really keeps getting better and better. If you have not seen it yet I will recap it for you.

Big Love revolves itself on the complexities of religion, the main course being Mormonism. It sheds a small light on this complex religion (complex cause i dont get it, im kinda catholic) and its affect on Bill Henrickson's family. He is an outcast of sorts having been thrown out of the compound as a young boy but remained true to his upbringing beliefs. He has been trying to become a money maker and a true Mormon no matter the society he lives in. (also called the "real world" in my eyes)

If you havent seen it try and catch up you might enjoy it.

Amercan Idol Report

The terror that has become American Idol is scarier than any plot on a blood thirsty thriller. I would like to start with yesterdays group singing version of one of my fav songs of the year:
Jason Mraz- Im yours.



That was the real and only version of his beautiful song. This next video is his terrible AMerican Idol rendition...if you hear hard enough you can hear my heart breaking along with JAson's...




Does anyone else agree?

REDNECK MANSIONS


Don't Make my Mistakes

Do not make the same mistake I made. If you are looking up a movie in a rush on netflix, stop and take the time to actually get the right one, do not just go by the year of the release because I paid the price, dirty style.

I was looking for that new Alien vs. Predator movie and instead got Alien vs Hunter. Suffice to say that my 8 yr old nephew has officially called me a loser who rents lame movies. I coudlnt even entertain an 8 yr old with this flick. I dont even remember the last time i fell asleep watching a movie before this. It was so poorly made...
Look at the covers, how was I not gonna make the mistake of renting the wrong one?


This looks like the right movie...



But this is the real deal....


Here are some netflix funnies for your enjoyment about Alien vs Hunter:

Mr. Tiddles
I got an early copy of this and man let me tell you how bad it is. The entire purpose of this is to fool you into renting it. The aliens don't even look like they do on the cover. Instead they look like walking creatures from the Tremors series covered in fake slime. The hunters are super lame looking horrible actors trying to pretend they are Predators. The acting is just beyond painful to watch. Nobody can act in this. The special effects are just sad. The entire movie looked to be made for a $300 budget. The worst thing of all is the story which is so lame there's no way you can't keep watching. Seriously the worst movie I have seen. Think Sci-Fi channel movie bad but somehow even worse. Don't fall for the scam and rent this crap like I made the mistake of doing. It's unwatchable.

Tomlet
Wow, another straight to video turdfest to trick the gullible into thinking it has something to do with alien vs. predator. Who makes this crap? Who rents this crap? I did just so I would be qualified to pan it in a customer review (I'm demented that way). Film producers that do this should be tarred and feathered.

JB 18682
Horrible, I had to stop watching it in about 15min. I thought this was going to be, well like a real movie. Low budget, bad acting, and the creatures looked like someone went to party city and rented some lame costumes... BAD

MacHed
Oh dear god....do NOT rent this. This is like your high school A/V club borrowing the video equipment to make a movie over a weekend. Complete with the art department using newspaper strips dipped in paste to make the costumes. I'll have to brush my teeth 5 times to get the taste out of my mouth.


A very angry renter....
TommyC65
What can't you say bad about this one? It has no redeeming values other than my friends and I laughing ourselves sick. Here's the list of bad: continuity issues, writing, acting, effects, sound, scenes, production, editing, soundtrack, and any other thing that can be wrong with movie making. The unbelievable cast is led by former "Greatest American Hero" William Katt, who was just plain awful and looked like he may have just got out of rehab and needed some cash. Michelle Pfeiffer's not quite as skilled little sister Dedee puts her all into her role, I just hope she wasn't counting on this movie rekindling her "career". The rest of the cast is horrid and forgettable, and you don't care when they die. The alien and the "hunter" are so bad , you can't stop laughing at them. We even watched the "special" features- the "making of", which was filmed as poorly as the finished movie; the blooper reel, which you could call the whole film; and finally the Commentary which only 2 line producers showed up for, no director or actor comments. Neither producer had any idea what was going on, and were more psyched when one of their cellphones made it into the picture. Avoid this one at all costs, take my and the other 110 reviews who gave it 1 star at their word, obviously the (one!) guy who gave it 5 stars wants to cruelly make you share in his/her pain. These are the guys who do the "almost" copies of popular flicks like "Transmorphers". Avoid unless you plan to mock.
