Everything Ends (and is released to own on DVD)



I know a lot of you guys in Australia have been waiting for the final season of Alan Ball's superb-beyond-words televison serious, Six Feet Under. Well it is about to happen. Amazon are taking pre-bookings now. Believe me, it is money well spent. Saying goodbye to a television series, especially one as good as 6FU was, is difficult but they certainly gave everyone a send off to remember.

While you are all twiddling your thumbs waiting for Channel Nine to show how it all ends (god knows how long that will take) pop over and take a trip down memory lane. The official site has all of Claire's artworks, with detailed descriptions from the artists who created them, for you to critique.

While you wander the electronic galleries of cyberspace, listen to "Breathe Me" by Sia. It is the final track ever played on Six Feet Under. It is funny how this track and the show will always be linked. After you watch the finale you will never hear this track the same way.

R.I.P.

P.S. Be careful, some of the artworks are from the final season and are a little spoilery!

P.P.S. Sia is from Adelaide! Go Australia!!!

P.P.P.S. If you haven't seen the show yet, set aside a week and watch it ALLL!!! I envy you!

Very true Stuboo, though I haven't yet seen series 5.

I have been hanging out for the Region 4 version, but it is getting harder and harder to wait (and not order from Amazon!) with no word about its local release date.

I must be patient.

(And no, I can't download it...I would feel too guilty!)

p.s. Mikey, do you know what Alan Ball is up to these days? Any goss on a new show?

Of course there is news. He is developing some sort of new tv series, with... wait for it... VAMPIRES!!! How cool will that be if it comes off.

From http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117931816?categoryid=14&cs=1

Project is set in a world where vampires and humans co-exist after the development of synthetic blood. First book, "Dead Until Dark," revolves around a waitress in rural Louisiana who meets the man of her dreams only to find out he's a vampire with a bad reputation.
