Bits and pieces of show revealed, too.* She's a cute blonde and he's a dark mysterious stranger that happens to be a vampire. No, it's not that ass-kicking vampire slayer this time around. She's hung up her stake and cheerleading outfit in Sunnydale, California. Our current Adorable Miss is a resident of Bon Temps, Louisiana. Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin) is a resident waitress, loyal granddaughter, and conveniently, an attractive mind-reader. Burdened by the unwanted thoughts of others, she finds relief in a mysterious stranger who’s the strong, silent type. Literally. She can’t hear his thoughts. From Alan Ball, the creator of critically acclaimed Six Feet Under and based on the books by author Charlaine Harris, True Blood follows the moment when Sookie Stackhouse, (Golden Globe-winner Paquin, The Piano, X-Men) meets Bill Compton, (Brit Stephen Moyer, Lilies, The Starter Wife) an outed vampire who arrives in Bon Temps just as the small Louisiana town is plagued with a wave of suspicious murders. Surrounding this ill-fated couple is an amazing smorgasbord of character profiles. They're all deeply damaged, holding on to their secrets and insecurities for dear life. Sookie's elder brother Jason (Austrailian Ryan Kwanten, Home and Away, Summerland) is a classic all-around fuck-up, and the first to be implicated in the series of [...]]]> http://mondomagazine.net/2009/seasonal-retrospectivetrue-blood-season-one/feed/ 1 http://mondomagazine.net/2009/sweet-sugary-junk-flight-of-the-conchords-season-2-highlights/ http://mondomagazine.net/2009/sweet-sugary-junk-flight-of-the-conchords-season-2-highlights/#comments Fri, 30 Jan 2009 05:00:38 +0000 television http://mondomagazine.net/?p=3922 Boys and girls with exquisite taste that includes freakishly huge lips and Kiwi accents, your quest is an end.

That was the question that bobbed in and out of my consciousness as I sat back and watched the live telecast on January 11th. There were the stars themselves, so busy drinking and chatting with one another that presenter Ricky Gervais, beer in hand, felt moved to chastise them from stage, ''How rude are you lot? Just because you're film stars? Shusssh!'' So, let's take a cue from the boisterous stars of film and television, and treat Globes as a party leading up to the more serious Academy Awards in February. The evening provided a blending of film and TV stars who knocked back glasses of Moet champagne (recession, anyone?) through the three-hour ceremony with smiles plastered on their faces. As proved by countless DUI mug shots, stars and booze don't always mix, which can be the only explanation for some of the night's biggest flops and rambling speeches. In the end, while the Golden Globes may not much affect the outcome of the Academy Awards or bring as much heft as the Emmys do in the realm of television, they certainly can be entertaining.]]> http://mondomagazine.net/2009/the-golden-globes-stars-gone-wild/feed/ 1
