True Blood and Living Dead in Dallas tie-in version
Sookie Stackhouse proves she's not Dead and Gone
From Houston Chronicle
For Sookie Stackhouse fans, it’s been a long year. Sure, September brought our Southern-fried heroine to the small screen in HBO’s True Blood. But even with the unexpected twists of the show, that plot was a little 2001 for anybody who’s been devouring Charlaine Harris’ book series since its inception.
A year after the last installment of the Southern Vampire Series, book number nine, Dead and Gone, hit bookstores this month. June 14, HBO turns on season two of True Blood with a set of characters that may turn out to be even more of a departure from Harris’s creation.
Luckily, Dead and Gone deposits book readers in familiar territory.
The plot takes up where we left our telepathic barmaid: In a world of supernatural creatures that mingle among the regular Wal-Mart shoppers of Bon Temps, the north Louisiana town where Sookie lives.
The witches are still camped out in Sookie’s house, the fairies remain mysterious, and the hunky vampires can’t seem to keep their fangs off her.
As Dead and Gone opens, werewolves have decided to follow the vampires’ lead and announce their presence to the human world. Alternative lifestyles, it seems, cannot bear to stay underground when there are supernatural reality TV shows to develop.
“Coming out” creates some trouble in Bon Temps, and the regular world seems interested in Sookie’s special talents. All this free-to-be-you-and-me attitude leaves only the fairies to wreak havoc under the radar.
Sookie must uncover the threats, beat back the danger and find love, perhaps in all the wrong places.
Of course, that is why we come back to the series year after year: To root for Sookie. She’s the oddball who lurks in us all.
To the regular world she is chubby, weird and underemployed. In Harris’ fantasy world, Sookie is an irresistible princess. And as Sookie and every modern princess with a head on her shoulders knows, only she can get the job done right, friends and family disappoint as often as they deliver, and sometimes the prince turns out to be a frog.
Or a vampire.

Eric: "If I want her, I can take her"
Sookie: "Although there's darkness in you..."
Eric: "We made a deal, your human and I"
Eric: "You should remember that I am your sheriff"
Sookie: "That's not protecting me, that's lying to me. How am I suppose to ever trust you?"

True Blood Soundtrack : Sookie, Sookie
What a cute review by the Louisville Courier Journal for True Blood Soundtrack.
Get your iTunes account warmed up for Tuesday's release of "True Blood — Music From the HBO Original Series," a surprisingly great collection of songs from the jukebox at Merlotte's, the restaurant and bar where your local vampires like to hang out.
Maybe it shouldn't be surprising. "True Blood" is, after all, a completely awesome vampire soap opera of the highest (and trashiest) order. The new season starts June 14 with Bill in hot water, Sookie in heat and Sam shifting shapes.
The show's theme song, Jace Everett's "Bad Things," leads off an album filled with Louisiana songs and artists — the show is set in Bon Temps, La. — and features tracks from Lucinda Williams, Lee Dorsey, Allen Toussaint, Dr. John, John Doe, Slim Harpo, Cobra Verde and Louisville natives the Watson Twins.

A good day for unconventional television: 'Dollhouse' renewed
For you Whedonites
If you want to gripe about mean networks yanking terrific shows with low ratings, don't direct your griping at Fox.
TV fans and critics have long beat up the networks for canceling low-rated shows without sufficiently taking other factors, such as audience passion, DVD sales and other revenue streams into account. It's becoming clear, as James Hibberd points out, that those other forms of viewership count more than ever.
Could the tyranny of the Nielsen overnight ratings be over? If a network like Fox, which is not known for its sentiment and softness, renews a show like "Dollhouse," the paradigm has surely shifted.
Fox didn't renew "Dollhouse" because the show's fans would have been sad about the Joss Whedon show's untimely death. Fox doesn't care about how viewers feel (you saw "Moment of Truth," right?). No, Fox renewed "Dollhouse" because it thinks it can make money off the project -- enough to keep the enterprise profitable.

From Time Magazine reporting from Cannes Film Festival
If you're going to do a love story, make it a mad love story. Get down into the essentials: ecstasy, pain and all the bodily fluids, especially blood. Park Chan-wook, best known to DVD connoisseurs for his Vengeance trilogy, is a past master of emotional violence. He's the soul of South Korea's vigorous, not to say kinky, psychological action movies. And Thirst — with its irresistible one-line sales pitch: a priest becomes a vampire — is his richest, craziest, most mature work yet.
Father Sang-hyun (Korean superstar Song Kang-ho) is a Catholic priest who's both caring and modern. He intones the last rites over terminally ill patients at the local hospital, and in confession he gives one troubled nurse the penance of 20 Hail Marys, a walk in the sun and a recommendation to take antidepressants. He is also a serious flagellant, whipping his thighs in mortification to suppress sexual urges. (Park's Oldboy also boasted more than its share of self-mutilation.) He has a Christ-like desire to save the world through suffering, and that vocation leads him into a medical experiment with dire effects: everyone else who's undergone it has died. (See pictures of the Cannes 2009 Red Carpet.)
