"Love means never having to say you're sorry.

However, it is with sincere regret that I must now kill all of you." -- Barnabas Collins to a group of hippies (or "unshaven young people" as he called them)

Bwah!  

FINALLY, I got to see Dark Shadows today.  I loved it.  But, of course, I think Johnny Depp's the greatest thing since biscuits and gravy so I'm just a little biased.  It was cool to see a vampire do what vampires do.  Kill people.  No, Barnabas did not sparkle in the sunlight.  He sizzled.

And I especially enjoyed the fact that Barnabas was at last freed from his 200-year-old grave in 1972.  I loved the music, the VW vans, the hippies, the shag carpet, the lava lamps.   Definitely my kind of movie. 

Here's the trailer!

I Swear I'd Wear Him Like A Scrunchie

(That's my favorite TB quote!)

I am so crazy about HBO's True Blood right now. It's sexy, bloody, downright hilarious at times and nothing is ever as it seems. It's full of twists and turns and every episode leaves me wanting more. I subscribed to HBO again after canceling it when Sex And The City ended. It is THAT good. It's Twilight for us grown-ups and I LOVE it. It's my not-so-guilty pleasure!

Today at lunch I stopped by Books-A-Million and got the first book the show's based on, from the Southern Vampire Mysteries series by Charlaine Harris.

Dead Until Dark.

This is what the back says:

Sookie Stackhouse is a small-time cocktail waitress in small-town Louisiana. She's quiet, keeps to herself and doesn't get out much. Not because she's not pretty. She is. It's just that, well. Sookie has this sort of "disability." She can read minds. And that doesn't make her too dateable. And then along comes Bill. He's tall, dark, handsome --- and Sookie can't hear a word he's thinking. He's exactly the type of guy she's been waiting for all her life...

But Bill has a disability of his own: He's a vampire with a bad reputation. He hangs with a seriously creepy crowd, all suspected of --- big surprise ---murder. And when one of Sookie's coworkers is killed, she fears she's next...

But we already know how that turns out, don't we??

True Blood

Okay, so there's this little show on HBO that's in its third season and I'm just now hearing about it. I'm just now hearing about it only because a girl I work with, Jennifer, told me about it and loaned me the first two seasons on DVD to watch and catch up.  I disconnected HBO when my beloved Sex and The City ended, I saw no reason to keep it with my favorite show gone.  

Y'all, Imma have to call Cox back.  

I LOVE True Blood!!!  I'm hooked on it already and I'm not even to Season Two yet.  It's based on Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries.  While I was watching the first couple of episodes, I noticed more than a few Twilight similarities but since the Southern Vampire books came out in 2001 and Twilight in 2005, who copied who?  Uh oh.

It's such a cool show!!  And it has the BEST theme song.  

When you came in the air went out.
And all those shadows there filled up with doubt.
I don’t know who you think you are,
But before the night is through,
I wanna do bad things with you.

Oh, yeah.
