When I have the chance to sit down and watch TV these days (mostly through my computer and Netflix), I have really been enjoying HBO and it's entertaining series', True Blood and Entourage. The dialogue these days on both of these shows is fresh and compelling and so good I sometimes write it down:
True Blood: Jason Merlotte to Sookie Stackhouse. Season 2, Episode 2
"I'm tired of charring my ass on your back burner!"
This line is delivered completely true and gave Sookie a real taste of what Jason feels for her. This new season has been creepy and dark, which I love in the vampire genre. Sookie's speechless reaction was based on the dead-on delivery of the dialogue and acting.
Entourage: Ari's son to Ari on being awoken.
"I'm waking you up with my mind".
This is realistic, clever dialogue that rings true to both characters completely. Ari here was woken up from sleeping on the couch, being
in the "doghouse" with his wife. This gives us an inkling of what this little Ari can really be like. The line was delivered absolutely deadpan, and again, good direction, good writing, extremely entertaining material out there on HBO.
