Love It: Alan Ball's new black dramedy True Blood.
I'm enjoying the series so much, in fact, that I now want to read the books that inspired it. If author Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Series is as authentic, contemporary, Southern, sexy, and witty as True Blood, consider me a Harris fangirl.
I have a crush on at least half the cast already: Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin); Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer); Tara Thornton (Rutina Wesley); and Diane (Aunjaneu Ellis), for starters. Like Ball's previous forays into film and television, American Beauty and Six Feet Under, it's character-driven, smartly written, and visually transfixing. I'm thirsty.

Creator Alan Ball's True Blood POV:
On a semi-related note, I'm anxious to see Ball's new allegedly challenging, controversial, and wildly satirical new film, Towelhead. Apparently, it had a very limited U.S. release on Sept. 12 and another is scheduled for Sept. 26. Please, please, please come to Albuquerque, Towelhead.
