In his 173 years on the earth, this vampire has seen more than his share of cruelty and violence - from humans and vampires alike. While he holds no illusions about his own existence, Bill has returned to his family home of Bon Temps hoping to reconnect with whatever humanity he's managed to retain. He never expected this attempt at mainstreaming to include romance, however; especially with a human girl just strange enough to accept him for what he is.

billsluvr posted in response to ThelLou's new and amazing video: Oh thank you so much for that lou. I was having a bad day and then I saw that and it was wonderful. All the reasons why I love Bill in a nut shell.
A coal mine just closed in my area and 600 people lost there jobs 2 weeks before Christmas.
Oh, how devastating, and right before Christmas makes it even more so. I am so sorry. I hope something will happen to help those in need. Best wishes to all of you.

You made some great points about the video (Lou's so talented - aren't we lucky?) and I will be watching again with those in mind. The first time I watched I was so happy to see something new, my eyes were glazed over and my brain disengaged.

I'm afraid I can't help you with that one. I've only watched the Stephen Bannerman clip. The reason is that back in July when I discovered Bill/Stephen on the show, I went on Amazon and bought everything they had with him in it, including "The Grand". I've been saving that to watch when I'm not so busy because the box set has so many DVD's.
There are so many interesting sounding things he's been in that I haven't found yet. They probably aren't available for the North American format, if at all. I'd love to see Deadlines, where he plays a journalist in Beirut, I think he's the main character in that one. It one some awards in Europe (but not for Stephen). And there's a movie called Entrusted (or Daddy) which sounds interesting.
On YouTube you should be able to find Prince Valient, if you haven't seen it, and maybe also Uprising. Good Luck.

Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin have had to enroll their two dogs into boot camp after neighbours complained about the noise they make.

I thought the song was perfect for Bill in a lot of ways because he is being pulled in many different directions. And now he's kidnapped and at the mercy of whoever took him. I'm looking forward to seeing how he'll handle all of the trials ahead of him and hopefully come out the better for it.

Thank you.

billsluvr, I'm so sorry to hear about that mine closing. It's a horrible thing to ever have happen, but this close to Christmas it's especially bad. I certainly hope that those who lost their jobs will get some sort of retirement package and be able to find something in the meantime.

Oh thank you so much for that lou. I was having a bad day and then I saw that and it was wonderful. All the reasons why I love Bill in a nut shell.
A coal mine just closed in my area and 600 people lost there jobs 2 weeks before Christmas. All because the federal government delayed in processing the company's application to renew their permit to mine in the area. The people in power are just shoving us little guys around without any caring at all. I'm feeling incredibly frustrated. I think this is why I don't like the character of Eric much. He represents the power that is just shoving the little guy around. Bill, for me, represents the little guy and I'm rootig so hard for him. He's fighting so hard for his life and his love. I hope he learns to stand up to Eric and take him down a few notches.

OK, I watched that clip about a hundred times. There is a God. How incredible are those 35 seconds. Too bad though, I could use about 20 minutes more of that scene. Although I'm thinking after about 5 minutes it would become a whole different kinda scene![]:)](http://boards.hbo.com/images/emoticons/devil.gif)
Thanks for the treat Alizarine

Lou
I can't believe how you've brought to light another dimension of Bill's story with this vid. It's all so clear once you meshed together the song and the footage.
Bill is drowning in so many ways. From things he endured caused by the women in his life to the consequences of his own actions (withholding info from Sookie, murdering Uncle Bartlet etc)
And he's in sooo deep now. The editing of the clips even invoked the illusion of drowning. He's being pulled down desperately and needs some saving (Any volunteers?-oooh let it be me)
Anyway, another masterpiece. Thanks
PS I'm better at interpreting YouTube videos than Literary masterpieces.. (Like some of you brainiacs)
Hopefully some of it'll rub off on me.

It could've been this scene, I've always wondered which scene they were taping when that happened (the part you mentioned was from an interview Stephen did with TV Guide back around the beginning of S1 - love it, have it).
I do think this is the scene Stephen mentioned where it was kind of hard to hide that he and Anna were really an item because after the director yelled "cut" they would keep snogging for another 25 seconds. LOL! I could see that being a problem after this long and lovely kiss.

Thanks, guys. I realized I had commented on my vidder's block just yesterday, so maybe all I needed to do was name it to (at least temporarily) get over it.
So glad you liked the new vid. I find Bill endlessly fascinating, so it's a pleasure to make vids featuring his lovely self.

ThelLou! This is fantastic! Just in case you missed ThelLou's newest video, here is the link again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHeudcr195E
I would almost register just to give it the 5 stars it so richly deserves. You did some great transitions and matched both the tempo and the words to the song. Even the colors seemed to flow into each other. Truly I am impressed and as wishiwasanna said, glad you got over your vidder's block. Bravo!
