True Blood

[Nujui]

Eh, like it matters. It's not wrong bring dead topics back, if it's in the right place.

 

[Urza]

Wow, good job on bringing up a dead topic

A topic isn't "dead" if it's cogent with current events, and seeing that the season finale is tonight, that seems fairly cogent.

Take your silly attempt at proclaiming violation of forum bureaucracy back to the kiddie pool. If you have nothing useful to say, don't post.

Its only on tonight for you, Ive watched a while back

 

[Urza]

Its only on tonight for you, Ive watched a while back

If by "a while back" you mean "yesterday," then yes. That still however falls within the realm of "things that have happened recently which someone may enjoy discussing."

If you don't want to, that's fine. However if that is the case, then you shouldn't be populating the thread with your irrelevant garbage posts.

...season 4?
Episode 48?

How'd you see the episode "a while back" that's scheduled for the first broadcast tonight?

The books may have existed well before Twilight, but the show would not have existed if Twilight hadn't hit the mainstream and made vampire romance "hip" and "sexy". So yeah, they are related.

True Blood first aired two months before the first twilight movie.

 

[Chikaku-chan]

I thought he meant season 3, Sorry.

 

[Urza]

Product placement at it's finest.

And the first Twilight book was published in 2005. You know, the crappy books that kickstarted the vampire craze and were later made into crappy films?

And Urza... It's like somebody saw the opening to Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me and went, "What if we did that, but got some product placement in too?"

Stay classy, True Blood.

Are we establishing a timeline?
Because Dead Until Dark (the first book of the series True Blood is based on) was published in 2001.

As for product placement, Nintendo got in on it too.

 

[BoxmanWTF]

heh, I'm about to watch the newest episode (season Finale)

Spoiler

SCREW DAT WITCH!!

Uh, what? Are you actually implying that partial frontal nudity was invented by a bad movie in the 90's?

That would be pretty funny if you were.

 

[BoxmanWTF]

Yeah and no one is gonna copy the idea from twilight that vampires can not go in to sunlight cause they sparkle from twilight.

I think I have already mentioned this when I was arguing with Skyrix, but it doesn't matter that the True Blood books came first. I've stressed this point repeatedly: Twilight created the recent vampire craze. That's why True Blood became a tv show.

And Urza, while Mike Meyers obviously did not invent that, the whole joke of that sequence was he was being censored by the most obvious, convenient, contrived, and suggestive things possible. So yeah, I would definitely say making the connection isn't a huge leap.

And seriously, Austin Powers: SWSM is bad? Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, ex-zip it A.

Just started with season 1, first time I'm watching it. At episode 5 right now, pretty good so far. Wondering how the story will develop. And damn, sooo much sex in it, fuck.

Sigh Vampire craze, I love me some vamps, but I don't believe twilight or true blood started this craze I think vampires were bought into the mainstream and made cool (for our generation anyways) by Blade back in 1998, as soon as blade hit thats when all these books/tv shows/films made an appearance. For example, Hellsing, Underworld and Twilight all were released off the success of the Blade series I can't think of any other quite so well liked vamp films prior to this apart from the lost boys and From Dawn to Dusk, but they never co-existed with humans

Alot of them follow the same plot line as blade as well.

Civilizations of vampires co-existing with humans but theres always a trouble maker and theres always a human/vampire (sympathetic towards humans) to sort it out, In blade it was obviously blade, in twilight it was the main vampire (robert patterson) sticking up for bella and in true blood it was bill compton who helped sookie and friends against vampires and other demonic characters alike.

Now I know vamps have been around in the media since Nosferatou, but for this generation I think Blade sparked the craze.

Plus the last episode of true blood was rubbish, they had a 12 episode quota, but wrapped the season up in 11 episodes, the last episode was a drag out episode, alot of it could have been resolved in episode 11, but they needed something to meet the 12 episode quota so dragged out and closed alot of the sub plots

blade wasn't even popular. out of all vampire movies i think blade is the last to pop in peoples minds specially in the 90s where interview with the vampire was the vampire defining movie. also buffy was a very popular show in the late 90s.
