“In a recent chat with DS, the British actor, who plays vampire Bill Compton on the HBO series, joked that he is hoping for a bedroom scene with Alexander Skarsgård’s Eric Northman. ‘Alex is a good friend of mine and a fantastic actor and I love working with Alex and I don’t get to do it as much as I would love to,’ he revealed. ‘You never know – whether they’ll stick Eric and Bill in bed together, I don’t know. But here’s hoping!’ Moyer, 39, also voiced his approval over the Bill-Sookie-Eric love triangle. ‘One thing about great drama is that you can’t watch two characters be happy for… well, sometimes half a season is too much. I think there has to be obstacles put in there way. I think the Bill and Eric characters are great.’”
Bill wants a hookup scene with Eric? Now THERE’S a role you can sink your teeth into…
These new pictures touched off a heated comment debate on justjared.com. I think it’s prefab bull, but hey any excuse to gawk at the Fanged One is a good one.
Don’t forget! The season finale for True Blood is Sunday 9/13 at 9:00 pm EST. Time to stick your neck out one more time.
In the You Couldn’t Make This Up Department: Paper doll cutouts of your favorite True Blood characters!! They’re releasing a new character every week until the end of Season Two. I can see all the tweets now: “I went home with Alexander Skarsgard and all I got was this lousy paper cut.”
Fuck Mom. I’m running with the scissors.
Click here to see the geniuses behind the fanged dolls.
And just in case you have no idea what to do with them, here’s a video example….
It’s destined to be inducted into the Slang Hall of Fame. Here’s the 20-second scene on YouTube. Godric, the most powerful of the True Blood vampires, says it when he grabs a predatory vampire by the throat as she was about to ‘feed’ on a human he likes.
I have now completely worn out the phrase, vehemently whispering it to my friends whenever a cutie walks past us or yelling at the TV when they show the healthcare Town Hall meetings.
“Retract Your Fangs! Mark my words (or technically, Godric’s), you’re going to hear it a lot in the next few months.
Alexander Skarsgard, otherwise known as “Eric Northman” on HBO’s hit series “True Blood,” embodies the dark eroticism and just raw sexuality that the disturbing theme song promises in the open credits. He is everywhere right now, Google his name or any variation and you’ll get millions of hits.
What makes the blonde, blue eyed Swede so magnetic as an improbable character-a thousand year old viking- in yet another cheesy vampire themed show? I have no idea really, but I’m buying into it and so is everyone else I know. Vampires are everywhere right now, from the “Twilight” series of books and movies, to the popularity of authors such as Charlaine Harris (creator of the “True Blood” characters in her “Sookie Stackhouse” series), J.R. Ward (Black Dagger Brotherhood), Sherrilyn Kenyon, Laurel Hamilton, and of course the God Mother of strange sexuality; Anne Rice.
This isn’t new though. Our thirst for the forbidden erotic started with a female demon from the Talmud named Lillith. Purported to be the first wife of Adam, she was portrayed in later scripture as a highly sexualized vampire like creature, a succubus, that came upon men in the night and drained them of their essence. Against their will, of course.
Later, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker further branded vampires in the public consciousness as deliverers of the ultimate sexual pleasure. Bringing this imagery to film only heightened the fascination we have for the undead. Ever notice that instead of a wince of pain as Dracula sank his fangs into a neck, that the victim looked transported into orgasmic ecstasy?
Wide-On noun. A slang term describing female sexual interest.
Ex: I get a total wide-on every time I see Ryan Kwanten on screen.
This week’s wide-on was brought to my attention by Mrs. Coconut of The Coconut Diaries.
She suggested last week that Ryan’s character, Jason Stackhouse, on HBO’s “True Blood”, could kick Alexander Skarsgard’s ass in the masculine beauty category any day of the week. I must say in all fairness, Ryan has the most perfect ass I have seen in quite a while.
In trying to be a kinder, less tacky Cult Diva, I will not call attention to his Australian heritage by using any combination of the words “thunder” or “down under”. Having dated my way through several Australian and New Zealand rugby players in my wild youth, I must say that men from the Southern Hemisphere are amazingly endowed with many gifts that they enjoy sharing very much and very often.
God love them.
I did find a few pictures for you all to salivate over. However for the real deal, you’ll have to tune into “True Blood” to see Ryan’s character truly in his best light. As the town stud, he gets some in almost every episode, which makes me wonder if there is a Jason Stackhouse equivalent in my dull little town…hmmmm.
Note: “Wide On” is Guest blogger Lisa Brower’s slang for female arousal.
As in “That hunk gave me a wide on.”
Not to brag, but I actually spent quite a bit of time with this week’s “Wide On”, Alexander Skarsgard. We started our relationship with “Generation Kill” and of course have continued it with “True Blood”. Then there’s the obsessive cyberstalking, online research I do on a daily basis. I’m not crazy about the long hair, but I know it’s just a phase. He still has that long, hard everything else that makes him a delight to look at. Just sort of mentally erase those other two guys and try to look through those intrusive subtitles.
Like I care what the hell he’s saying. Move the damn words and soap south, please.
I had to throw another shirtless picture of him in, just looking at him takes me to a happier place.
Special message to Mr. Cult Diva: Please send my “Generation Kill” DVD’s back, when you are done watching them of course. I’ve been having to rent Alex by the week like a cheap whore and it’s getting tiresome when I go in and some other bitch has him.
Guest blogger Lisa Brower introduces a new weekly segment, named after a slang term for female sexual arousal.
As in, “That hunk gave me a serious wide-on.”
This week’s “Wide-On” was inspired by the lustful imagination of fellow blogger, the elegant Mrs. Legally Blonde. I want to thank her for the suggestion because if you all leave it to me, all you’ll have to pant over are tall blondes, as I rarely deviate from type.
The studly Argentinian polo player and face of Ralph Lauren’s Black Label line would be a nice addition to any fantasy stable. I personally would take a tail shot from his mallet any day.
As always, please send your suggestions in unless you want to be stuck with my rotating line up of Viggo Mortensen, Daniel Craig, Daria Torres, Alexander Skarsgard, or Jackie Warner.
Don’t forget! The season finale for True Blood is Sunday 9/13 at 9:00 pm EST. Time to stick your neck out one more time.
