"Yes, there will be a movie. I can understand people are a little trepidatious because of the franchise around the world and [...]

These two new posters teasing the June return of "True Blood" to HBO for its second season sort of caught my eye and I felt I would share. HBO reps were kind enough to recently shoot over screeners of the eight first season episodes I hadn't yet seen in preparation of what I hope will [...]

I guess I could give it [...]
