subject: Confessions Of A Real Blood Addict [print this page] Prior to watching the hit HBO show "True Blood " I had no knowledge of the name Alan Ball. Manifestly I was indifferent to any of his work. That is what I was under the impression until I analyzed Mr. Ball and learned that we have got a long history together via his writing, directing and my viewing of his assorted works. Ball wrote "American Beauty " which is an Oscar winning film and he was one of minds behind another hit HBO show, "6 Feet Under. "
My reliance on "True Blood " happened fast and was nearly immediate. I was one of those people that had totally ignored the show the 1st season and just happened to catch a marathon and as they say "the rest is history. "
Months before I saw the show my cousin discussed it to me and explained the storyline ; she then raved about the show. My swift thought was "I am not jumping on this complete vampire craze going on now. " I listened but thought "this all sounds so ludicrous and ludicrous no way will I be interested in this show. " "manmade blood " come on, really?
It's months later on I am home sick, I have watched the 4 seasons of "House " that I own more times than I care to admit. It was to the point at which I was quoting House's acerbic comments in my sleep. I decided it was time to tune into something else so I gave "True Blood " a try.
From the moment, the couple come speeding down the line entering into some pretty naughty behaviour stopping abruptly to go in of a corner store advertising that they sell True Blood, you are hooked. You have got no option but to keep voyeuristically following the young couple. The 2 obnoxiously go in and communicate with the clerk about True Blood and vampires in New Orleans.
