RayFinkle Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Thoughts?....I'm not sold yet, but it has been entertaining.
Tcali Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Thoughts?....I'm not sold yet, but it has been entertaining. yeah Ive watched it a couple of times---not at all sold yet....but I'll give it more of a chance..
The Big Cat Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 yeah Ive watched it a couple of times---not at all sold yet....but I'll give it more of a chance.. Do they show boobies?
RayFinkle Posted September 23, 2008 Author Posted September 23, 2008 Do they show boobies? About every ten minutes.
ch19079 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I have watched all the episodes so far. The first show seemed a bit cheesy, but interesting. I expect a lot from HBO. IMO, the first few shows are not on par with the likes of the Sopranos, the Wire, deadwood, Entourage, or even Big Love. They have a built in audience for vampires, but with that comes high expectations for a quality show. I like it so far, but they defiantly need to tone down the overly cheesy things.
Cugalabanza Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 I watched the first two episodes. Utter garbage. I won't be watching any more. I really liked Six Feet Under, so I thought I'd give Allen Ball a chance with this one. Not any more.
K-Gun10 Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Watch it like it but Entourage is what look forward to.
Stl Bills Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Watch it like it but Entourage is what look forward to. Exactly my thoughts........my girl really likes TruBlood thought. Can somebody tell me why Entourage isn't an hour long?
The Big Cat Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 About every ten minutes. The series recording begins tonight.
BUFFALOTONE Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Exactly my thoughts........my girl really likes TruBlood thought. Can somebody tell me why Entourage isn't an hour long? Tru Blood is great so far. I am an Entourage fan but it has sucked ass this year. they need to figure something out and quick.
The Big Cat Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 Tru Blood is great so far. I am an Entourage fan but it has sucked ass this year. they need to figure something out and quick. Entourage has sucked ass for the last 2.5 years. Ep 1: Boys wake up. Johnny's making breakfast. Turtle's taking bong rips. In one (sometimes half) line of dialogue the cliff hanger from the previous episode is resolved. Plot. Plot twist. Cliff hanger. Ep 2: Boys wake up. Johnny's making breakfast. Turtle's taking bong rips. In one (sometimes half) line of dialogue the cliff hanger from the previous episode is resolved. Plot. Plot twist. Cliff hanger. Ep 3: Boys wake up. Johnny's making breakfast. Turtle's taking bong rips. In one (sometimes half) line of dialogue the cliff hanger from the previous episode is resolved. Plot. Plot twist. Cliff hanger. Ep 4: Boys wake up. Johnny's making breakfast. Turtle's taking bong rips. In one (sometimes half) line of dialogue the cliff hanger from the previous episode is resolved. Plot. Plot twist. Cliff hanger. and so on...

The Big Cat Posted September 23, 2008 Posted September 23, 2008 ...and your point is? For an HBO show, the writing is hurrendous, and they've completely disposed of the notion of a season-spanning plot arc, even though sometimes they'll spend several episodes on a "dillema," it's always resolved (for the viewer) in a dismissive line of dialogue. Not impressed.

Not impressed. I 100% disagree with this. It's simply not true (about the abandoning season long arcs). Season 1 revolved around E becoming the manager rather than just a glorified gopher. Season 2 revolved around whether or not Vinnie was going to do (and eventually stay) in Aquaman. Season 3 (sucked due to the odd break) but part A focused on Vince's struggles with and eventual firing/rehiring of Ari due to complications w/ Mediallian. Season 4 revolved 100% around Mediallian and the guys taking this huge risk to shoot a movie themselves (and the aftermath. Season 5 so far has been excellent. Every episode has dealt 2 fold with Vinnie trying to repair his image and E trying to fix his -- and both seem to be heading towards a mutual solution with 9 Brave Souls ... There's always been a meta season arc for every season BUT for the first 4 episodes of season 1.

Buftex Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I watched the first two (my gf like that vampire sh--) and honestly, it is exactly what I thought it was going to be...another pretentious Allan Ball production. I will be watching Sunday Night Football in the bedroom for an hour, the next 10 Sundays or so...
Cugalabanza Posted September 24, 2008 Posted September 24, 2008 I can't quite put my finger on it why True Blood sucks so bad. There's definitely a cheesiness factor. And not a fun campy horror cheesiness like you would hope for in a show about vampires. It's a cheap, poorly done cheesiness. Some scenes are so terrible, it's like an R-rated Mentos commercial.
