Everyone tells me I look like Philip Seymour Hoffman. Which is fine, he?s cool. But I want to look like Sting, circa 1982. So who do I go to for a total body transformation? The husband-and-wife personal trainer team who own High Performance. They fell in love in boxing class. Need I say more? Here?s the catch. They?ve only got six weeks to get my pudgy ass into rock star shape. Because in six weeks, New York Fashion Week starts. And this season, I will not be the fattest dude at th

For some reason, I haven?t been paying much attention to the new HBO series True Blood, either because I didn?t know what it was all about, or somehow just missed hearing about it. Either way, the premiere is coming on September 7th and I wanted to give you all a heads up on what might be a pretty interesting new take on the vampire mythology. The premise sounds a bit odd, but it?s also unique enough to have promise. In the not-too-distant-future, vampires walk alongside humans, w

Ad campaign for HBO?s ?True Blood? confuses thirsty

Speaking of the current Vampire frenzy keeping Moonlight in the minds of entertainment reporters, bloggers and critics........ Jane Boursaw, from TV Squad, mentions our show in her post about the new True Blood tv show poster issued by HBO. "Thou shall not crave thy neighbor" HBO releases True Blood poster (time to stock up on strawberry jam) by Jane Boursaw Ewww! This poster is so creepy, it makes me want to hurl! And watch this show! Of course, the fact that Alan Ball is behind

HBO???s inventive campaign to drum up interest for True Blood, the vampire series from Six Feet Under creator Alan Ball that debuts Sept. 7, may be a little too high concept for the average mortal. Outdoor ads and vending machines that tout a bottled drink called Tru Blood have driven consumers to the network website, where they???ve futilely tried to buy the product or locate a dealer. What they end up discovering is that the beverage ??? which is supposed to be synthetic blood ??

POSTER: New Poster From HBOs New Series True Blood July 22nd, 2008 HBO released a brand new promo poster from their upcoming series ?True Blood? by directors Alan Ball and Michael Lehmann and starring Rutina Wesley, Jim Parrack ( CSI: Crime Scene Investigation ), Anna Paquin ( Trick ?r Treat ) and Stephen Moyer. Synopsis: Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under, returns to HBO with a new series based on the novel series Southern Vampire by Charlaine Harris. The series follows Sook

I?m not sure how HBO and Alan Ball (Six Feet Under & American Beauty scribe) will pull off a vampire show or what the angle will be on vampires, but the notion that vampires can walk amongst regular humans because of a product from Japan called Tru Blood is intriguing. The poster was sorta meh?, but the viral videos on YouTube providing lots of background for the show are promising, or maybe the right word is intriguing. Still, it stars Anna Paquin, as a barmaid in Louisiana who

HBO released this snazzy little poster today for its new vampire TV series. I don't know about you, but it kinda reminds me of Frank Quitely's cover for the first issue of Vertigo's Bite Club comic from a few years back. Incidentally, Anna Paquin (Rogue from X-Men) is the star. As the poster proclaims, the upcoming show comes from the mind of Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under and director of American Beauty. Ball supposedly claims to have never seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer or A

In the afternoon, I was walking up Sixth Avenue after yet another confusing trip to Adorama (how many tickets does one need to by a lens hood?). I came to the corner, waiting for the coast to be clear, I look to my right and I see a guy who looks like Oscar-winner Glen Hansard of The Swell Season and The Frames. What brings doubt in my mind is that the guy had a heavy beard. It could be possible that the man like a summer beard. I'm about 80% sure it was him I wanted to say someth

On this day in 1867, Canada sort of almost became an independent country. According to the Wikipedia article about Canada Day, the British Parliament had limited political control until 1982, when George Michael wrote the song ?Constitution Act? that finally freed the Canucks from the tyrannical rule of those otherwise lovely Brits. Also, at some point they were French, but the article didn?t talk about that. I have long been a fan of Canadians, specifically ones that are also femal

Not sure how I missed this when I posted a couple days ago on?the slew of new programs HBO is rolling out next year, but there?s another HBO pilot due out in September that?s?getting some early buzz because of the nature of its marketing campaign.

Though I first buzzed about an Academy Award nomination for Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight more than a month before his death, I now want to take it all back. I feel all the talk of Ledger?s posthumous Oscar chances will cloud my mind when I finally do see it, and it will probably also cloud the Academy?s judgment, too. Six months from now, when the nominations are announced on January 22 (coincidentally the one-year anniversary of Ledger?s death), if Ledger is not recognized for
