Check out this new movie featuring Sookie Stackhouse's brother, Ryan Kwanten, as the superhero Griff The Invisible. I personally can't get enough of Kwanten on True Blood, as his hair brain antics are often the funniest shit the show has to offer. And I know the ladies love Kwanten cause of those abs of steel and the fact that Jason Stackhouse spends almost as much time with his top off as Anna Paquin... almost. Here is the official synopsis and teaser trailer for Griff the Invisible:
By day Griff (Ryan Kwanten) is an everyday office worker, in an everyday town. He lives a secluded life, bullied by co-workers (Toby Schmitz) - his protective brother his only friend. By night Griff assumes his other identity, roaming the dark streets protecting the innocent and the vulnerable from the dangers that lurk in the shadows - he is the hero, GRIFF THE INVISIBLE.
Increasingly concerned by Griff's eccentric behavior, his brother (Patrick Brammall) attempts to draw him back into the 'real world'. In doing so he introduces Griff to Melody (Maeve Dermody) an equally eccentric and charming girl.
Fascinated by Griff's idiosyncrasies, which are equal only to her own, Melody begins to fall for Griff. As Griff is forced to face up to realities of a mundane world, it is up to Melody to rescue GRIFF THE INVISIBLE for the sake of herself, Griff and their love for each other.
GRIFF THE INVISIBLE is the fresh, highly-original romantic comedy from the wildly fertile imagination of debut feature film writer / director Leon Ford. Starring Ryan Kwanten in the lead role of Griff (star of smash hit US TV series True Blood) and Maeve Dermody as Melody (who earned critical acclaim for her performance in Beautiful Kate), GRIFF THE INVISIBLE is fresh from international rave reviews and accolades from the Toronto International Film Festival and will (dis)appear in cinemas nationally March, 2011.
Looks good to me... how about you guys? Let us know in the comment section below!!! Thanks to io9 for the tip.
TV commercials are a part of our everyday lives as TV viewers. Even though Tivo and DVR have allowed us to "skip through" the commercials, the advertising companies a still trying to peak our interests by coming up with creative commercials. To me, great commercials are an art form and are under appreciated by a society that is always trying to speed through things. Think about it... how many times did you see a great commercial that made you laugh hysterically or want to go out and purchase the advertised product??? And how many times has the best part of the Super Bowl been the commercials during a blow out game??? Whether you want to admit it or not, commercials are cool as shit... and here are some of my favorites.
This week we got HBO's commercial for the holiday... they want you to buy True Blood Season 1 on BluRay & DVD, and this guy will tell you exactly why you should buy it. He puts together a puppet show/creepy ass narrative for his girlfriend featuring Sookie, Eric, and Bill Compton. Lets just say the store bought episodes might be a tad bit better. Hope you enjoy!!!
I am of the school of thought that despite the fact that our society is completely desensitized, TrueBlood seems to find new and exciting ways to shock its audience with its sexual antics and over the top situations. Head twisting vamp sex? Check. Werewolf gang rape of willing female werewolf while high on V? Check. Random Bon Temps adults participating in a Roman style fuck- orgy while worshiping an ostrich egg on Sookies front lawn? Check. Tons of uncomfortable gay vamp sex, and come to think of it, uncomfortable regular gay sex between characters who are not supposed to be gay? Check. Down home girl Sookie banging Bill like she is a regular hooch at Lil Wayne's backstage orgies? Check. The sex plays a key role in this show.
With that being said, I am shocked how Alan Ball continues to find ways to make us say "Huh??? Did that just happen???" every week. The cast must be banging each other out... no way they can look this comfortable doing the sick shit they are doing if they weren't intimate with each other. Anyway, now we get Eric, Sookie, and Bill post vamp orgy on the cover of Rolling Stone, naked and bloody.
Holy shit, this show must be fun to work on!!! Anywho, the Rolling Stone cover hits soon and True Blood season 3 is wrapping up in the next few weeks. Keep checking back for Kate Jones and her weekly True Blood recap True Bloody Love. Please leave a comment on what you think the freakiest thing you ever saw happen on True Blood was.
***Editors Note: We saved this one for a while because of the off week for True Blood due to the 4th of July. We thought this would freshen you back up for Sunday's, all new, 4th episode of Season 4. Enjoy!!!
I’m sorry, fellow Blood lovers! I have been a very, very bad blogger. Unfortunately, my attention and detail to this episode was not as… attentive and detailed, I guess. But I did watch it, and I do know what was good and what was bad about it. This time I start with the least eventful things.
Arlene and Terry- The baby is most likely serial killer Rene’s, but Arlene didn’t tell Terry that!
Sam finally leaves his annoying family but they follow him to Bon Temps. This guy owns his own bar and some property, and it looks like his sleazy birth family want to take advantage of that.
Jason and Hoyt- Jason, after tackling a drug dealer in 'Hotshots', decides that he way want to become a cop. He is nervous about taking the test though, and has a dream where we glimpse a little bit of booty… you know the usual, “I’m nervous about something, so I am going to dream about me doing that something, only I am going to wind up naked while it is happening,” dream. Anyway, he wakes up from the dream to Hoyt screaming because he just found a dead, headless body in one of the ditches he was digging. We can only assume that that headless body belongs to…..
Jessica’s trucker! And we assume right. Fresh on the aftermath of having crazy, dirty sex with Tara, Franklin Mott shows up at the Compton house to give Jessica a gift- the trucker’s head! Now she owes him and he wants to know all about Bill and the Sookster.
Tara- after having the aforementioned sexcapade with creepy-as-hell Franklin, Tara is still sad about Eggs. Seriously, hooker, it’s been 3-5 days since your boyfriend was killed. You really needed to have 'feel better' sex before his body was in the ground? Anyway, Sookie wound up paying for a funeral for Eggs, and the two girls hug it out while mourning his death. Tara then goes to Merlotte’s and talks to Jason, who obviously still feels guilty about killing the guy… blah, blah, blah… get over it… The last we see of Tara, she is being glamoured by Franklin who wants to get in to Sookie’s house. Looks like Little Miss Jessica spilled the beans on something!
*Random side note: I am starting to think that maybe Eric hired Franklin to do some digging, since he clearly wants Bill out of the way. I have no idea though where they are going with this guy. It is totally different from the book.
OKAY- Now the continuation of the real story!
Sookie- Sookie shoots at the wolf that is in her house, but Eric takes the bullet, so that they can question wolfy. Once Eric starts bleeding, the wolf goes coo coo for Count Chocula (I made a funny cereal reference..hahah… no? Well, I tried.) and tries to get a taste of Eric’s yummy, Viking blood. Eric still is able to overpower the guy. Sookie looks in to the guys thoughts and hears something about Jackson, Mississippi. As soon as Sookie acknowledges that she heard something. Eric took a bite out of the wolf’s neck and killed that baddy mighty quick. You would think they would send someone a little stronger after a telepath who is completely protected by all things supernatural. Anyway, Eric and Sookie then bury the wolf in the cemetery and Eric acknowledges that he won’t be able to go to Jackson with Sookie to help her, saying it would be suicide for him. He wishes her luck.
Her luck appears while she is cleaning her house in the beautiful form of Alcide Hevereux. Alcide is a werewolf that was sent to Sookie by Eric for her protection. It turns out he owes Eric after Eric had helped Alcide’s dad out with some gambling debt. Alcide knows all about the werewolves in Jackson. They are a dangerous group and Alcide doesn’t care for them much, specifically because his longtime girlfriend recently left him for their leader.
*Random side: I cannot wait to meet Alcide’s girlfriend, the notorious Debbie Pelt. If you read the books, you know that this bitch is evil. I compare her to Professor Umbridge from the Harry Potter series. She isn’t the worst bad guy around, but you might just hate her more.
Sookie and Alcide go off to Jackson and a were bar called 'Lou Pines' where a werewolf tries to rape the hell out of a lunchy looking Sookie. Alcide saves the day and then finds out that Debbie is engaged to Coot. That’s right! The badass werewolf with the most ridiculous name for the female anatomy ever! Cooter! I laugh just thinking about this. Personally, I don’t know if I would be able to date a man named Cooter, even if he looked like Eric. I would just laugh a lot… Cooter, I say. How do they think of these things?
Sadly Eric was not in a lot of this episode after burying the werewolf in Sookie’s cemetery. We only got to see him giving Lafayette a beautiful new Bentley with the promises of Lafayette being a very rich man if he continues to sell Eric (and Sophie-Anne’s) V. I think I would do anything he asked, but that’s just me. (So here is a random Eric in bed shot for all my ladies!!!)
Now back to the King of Mississippi’s palace. Unfortunately, Lorena survives being burnt alive, but we all knew that would be the case. Russell tells Bill that Lorena wants Sookie dead and, if Bill doesn’t switch his allegiance, Russell will make that happen.
Bill then dreams of the last time he saw his wife, Caroline. She was in their home, mourning their son Thomas. When Bill cries over the death of his son, Caroline sees the blood. Lorena storms in and makes Bill glamour his wife to forget that he was there. She says that the only way to show a human you care about them is to stay away from them. Bill declares his loyalty to Russell so that he stops the werewolf hunt for Sookie. Lorena still wants to kill her, but Russell has the final say on this matter.
Now arguably the most disturbing sex scene ever is about to happen.
Bill, obviously hating on Lorena for making him a vampire in the first place, taking away Caroline and now Sookie from him, tells Lorena she got what she wanted from him again and she kisses him. Rather then push her off him, he pushes her to the bed and screws her brains out. He then twists her head and breaks her neck so that he isn’t looking at her face, and screams.
So did the Lorena and Bill sex surprise you? It was pretty intense. I mean I’ve heard of “hate sex” and “angry sex” but this kind of takes the cake, huh?
Well, I am going to do my very best to have episode 4’s recap up by mid-next-week. Episode’s 5 and 6 may have to wait because I will be taking my vacation to the West coast. Yes, I will finally being seeing the stars in Los Angeles, the beautiful desert skies in Palm Springs and experiencing the perfect weather in San Diego. Also, I will be attending a few days of the 2010 International Comic-Con. You know that I can’t wait for that! Do you think Alexander Skarsgard will be there? I sure hope so!!! Please leave your comments below!!!
Welcome back, Sookie Stackhouse! Welcome back, Eric’s butt! Welcome back, Bon Temps, Louisiana! I have missed you all so!
Before I get in to the episode, I want to tell you all a little bit about True Blood and me. After watching (and loving) the first season, I read all of the books by Charlaine Harris that the series was based on. Here’s the deal. Every season of True Blood is loosely based on a book in Harris’s Southern Vampire Mysteries. Season 1 was a little bit different from the first book, Dead Until Dark, but the main mystery was fairly consistent. Serial Killer kills women that have any relations with vampires. Season 2, however, slapped Living Dead in Dallas in the face hardcore with that AWFUL Maryanne storyline. The Dallas part was good, though most of the drama that unfolded happened differently in the book. This season is based on Club Dead, which is one of my TWO favorite Sookie books. God help Alan Ball if I do not approve.
That being said, I want to explain some of the inconsistencies between the books and the show.

This week was the second episode of True Blood season 3, and boy is shit getting crazy.... Nazi werewolves, vampire kidnappings, family reunions, and drug busts made for one pretty sick episode. Kate "Reality Check" Jones will be starting her recaps for the show this week, but there were two interesting tidbits of True Blood related info I thought I should share with you.
Deborah Ann Woll is the hot red headed actress that play s newbie vampire Jessica. We profiled her in OHC of the Day last week, and she seems to be becoming a very intergral part of the show this season. Well, Jessica wants to learn about how a vampire should act... so instead of waiting for Bill Compton to teach her, she is hitting the web!!! Jessica Hamby has started her own blog, which you can check out here. This is a really cool site that provides supplemental information about this seasons characters. Check in on Jessica and see what its like to learn a whole new lifestyle as one of the nightwalkers.
Next, here is something that took me completely by surprise. I had heard of a video that was circulating the web that was a sort of "tribute" song about Sookie Stackhouse by West Coast rapper Snoop Dogg. Entitled "Oh Sookie", Snoop professes his love for Bon Temps hottest waittress, and kicks some verses on how he ain't afraid of Bill Compton and his crew. I thought it had to be a joke, but I found the video and watched it. It was mildly entertaining, and then I dismissed it. But then...
After last nights episode, the video roled... on HBO!!! All the people who watched the show were now watching this soon to be viral video, and Facebook and Twitter started popping with people expressing their love for the song. So you know I had to bring it to you guys. How could I resist showing a video of Snoop rapping with 6 "Sookie" like dancers in front of Merlottes and asking Sookie to bring her girl Tara with her so he could " Give her some Eggs in her mouth"... hysterical. Check the video out and let us know what you think.
