For those reticent to draw comparisons between TWILIGHT and “True Blood,” you needn’t look any further than the new poster for the hit HBO show to change your mind. No, it’s doesn’t feature a squad of teary-eyed bitch-boys, but it does feature a not so menacing werewolf. Wait, a werewolf? I thought the show was about assimilated vampires? Looks like NEW MOON hasn’t only affected the world of cinema!
But we ain’t stopping there, folks. Hell no. We’ve also got a preview trailer for the show’s 3rd season, which kicks off on HBO June 13th. Less than a month, yo!
So what’s in the trailer, you may wonder? Not a whole lot you haven’t seen from the show already, perfect looking bloodsuckers, Sookie’s awful southern twang, a hipster soundtrack and the rote vampire line: “Are you going to invite me in?”
As you can probably tell from my tone, I’m not the biggest “True Blood” fan. Not that I hate it, mind you, I just don’t think it computes with what real horror is all about. To amend my stance, I’ll say it’s nothing more than TWILIGHT meeting “Buffy.” Could be worse, I suppose.
But please, feel free to tar and feather me with reasons why I should start watching the show. Anyone? Anyone at all?
True Blood’s Deborah Ann Woll!
