Well, when you are finished with “Breaking Dawn” (sniff, sniff–what are <\/em>we going to do when it’s over?), you’ve gotten through all the Buffy DVD’s (which, if you are a vampire fan, are a must), you can tune in this fall to HBO’s new series “True Blood<\/a>” premiering September 7th and starring Anna Paquin.
\nStrange advertisements have been popping up everywhere in magazines for the series–without actually mentioning the series title. My favorite that I’ve seen so far is the one that says “Vampires Are Immoral” under a photograph of, what I assume is, a vampire (he’s quite good looking). The copy underneath reads “Support Human Rights. Say NO<\/u> to the Vampire Rights Amendment.”

\nYou can read an interview with the show’s director, Alan Ball (of “Six Feet Under”) here.<\/a> The show is apparently based on a series of vampire novels I have actually not <\/em> read (and I thought I’d read them all) by author Charlaine Harris. Since the CBS series “Moonlight” got cancelled, I’m hoping that this show will fill the vampire void left in my heart post-“Breaking Dawn”…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
