Bill and Sookie Are Totally Together in Real Life

How funny that Kristen Stewart and Mr. Floppy Hair himself Robert Pattinson keep getting bugged about being in a relationship when they aren’t, yet a much more fun vampire couple IMO has been a couple for like ever and no one knew. (Well, some people thought it was a possibility, but it certainly didn’t get the level of press speculation heaped on our friends from Twilight.)

Stephen Moyer, 37, and Anna Pacquin, 26, have confirmed their relationship to TV Guide. The age difference kind of bugs me (I can’t imagine being with a 26-year-old at this point in my life), but my feelings about it confirm that the whole Milo Ventimiglia-Hayden Panetierre thing would not have squicked me out anywhere near as much if Hayden had been in her 20s.

Because I love love, I wish my two favorite vampires from books made into movies/TV shows all the best. And I totally can’t wait for the next season of True Blood, even though I’m still in denial about the murder at the end of season 1. Oh wait, I loved True Blood season 1. Does that mean season 2 will suck?

Edited to add: In July 09, Moyer and Paquin announced that they are engaged. I still think the age difference is a little skeevy, but I wish them all the best. Read more about it here and here.

Is Slim-Fast Enough?

I enjoyed last night’s premiere of True Blood, especially Anna Paquin’s performance. She inhabited her character so fully, that I completely forgot how much the blond hair bugged me in the promos. Some of the dialogue was a little corny, especially the dust-up over the vampire being named Bill and when Sookie said “since they came out of the coffin two years ago.” Other than Jay from Summerland and Larry (of this is my brother Darryl fame), I didn’t really recognize too many people. Mr. Curmudgeon however, was convinced he recognized every supporting actor.

My favorite line was when the bartender, in cautioning Sookie about going off with a bloodsucker, asked if she would be happy giving up her favorite food forever and living solely on Slim-Fast.

I will be interested to see if they develop the political aspects more as the show progresses. I thought I was watching the X-Men movies, with the call for vampire equality. Like the X-Men movies, this plotline exists as an obvious gay allegory. I wonder if people who are against gay equality see these parallels and whether they are put off by them.
