THIS LOOKS PROMISING

There are a lot of reasons to get excited for HBO's new original series Bored to Death. The biggest is the cast. Jason Schwartzman plays an alcoholic writer who moonlights as a private detective. Zach Galifianakis, coming off the red hot (and highly recommended by me) film The Hangover plays his comic book writer friend. Kristen Wiig and the adorable Parker Posey represent the womenfolk. And Ted Danson rounds out the ensemble. The trailer looks a little quirky, too. But who am I kidding, I'd watch these guys in anything. Look out for it this fall. And look out in general so you don't fall. That's just good advice.

There Will Be Blood Boobs

So apparently True Blood comes back on the air tonight. I know this because of the shrill screams of excitement emanating from my roommates (they read this, so I'll point out that may be a bit of an exaggeration). If you're unfamiliar with True Blood, take a look up at the picture. There, you just watched True Blood. I've already made my feelings on vampire shows quite clear. I've only seen the first three episodes of True Blood, but needless to say it features some of the worst acting I've ever seen. The only silver lining is that there are boobs. Ooodles of boobs. And yet somehow, the only people I know who actually enjoy the show are gay men and women. It's a puzzle wrapped in an enigma.

Anyway, if you actually like the show and are still reading, True Blood returns tonight on HBO. I'm too lazy to look up what time, but I think you can figure it out. After all, you obviously have internet access.

Update: It's 9:42PM, I can hear my girlfriend shrieking downstairs as she watches this. I've never been more in love.. Now where's that noose...

Oh, here's Anna Paquin:
