The coming summer months bring with them the welcome heat wave to kick it at the pool each and every day or if you are our own Aaron Neuwirth, the ability to dive from your own roof into the pool and oh yeah…the reason we are all here today…HBO’s steamy hit series True Blood. Following telepath Sookie Stackhouse and her roving troupe of vampire, werewolf, faerie (and the occasional human) friends and sometime foes as they navigate the seedy supernatural underbelly of Bon Temps, Louisiana, this sexy, scary, wildly entertaining series has been heating up HBO’s summer line up for six years. Six years! Can you believe it? It seems like only yesterday when I got Season 1 for my birthday to check out blindly. But all good things must come to an end I guess, huh? Boo! So check out the full press release below from HBO and prepare…unfortunately the end is coming. To me, True Blood will always have the best introduction theme song. Ain’t nothing but a twang thang down in the bayou baby!

Here’s an article that just came across my desk and I wanted to share it with all my readers here while the buzz is strong this week in Austin, TX. Of course, I’m talking about a sore subject of mine since I’m not there the second straight year in a row, but nonetheless…SXSW!

So the below infographic takes a quick look at the top 10 most discussed films trending out on social media attributed to SXSW. Enjoy! 
I have to say this one looks kind of interesting and intriguing and if you live in New York City consider yourself lucky because IFC Midnight will release Zack Parker’s Proxy theatrically in NYC first at The IFC Center and on VOD April 18th. Supposedly it will also roll out nationwide shortly after. However, until it does, let’s have a look at the trailer for Proxy. Sound good? Of course it does! Enjoy!

While I was invited, but I wasn’t able to cover it being way down here in lonely Austin, TX, I do live vicariously through other people’s pictures. After all, they say a picture is worth a 1,000 words anyway, right? Right!

Am I right? Heck yeah! I knew I was! So sip your favorite beverage as I share with you a couple of the highlight photos from last night premiere at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood. Enjoy! 
After being down here for over a year, in my opinion, there’s not a heck of a lot going down in Austin, TX more than what was happening up in the frigid land of the North I’m from, but at least there’s always SXSW to keep a fellow Texan on their heels. And that’s exactly what Paramount does with their brilliant marketing strategies, in my opinion, as the world’s first combination news/food truck was unveiled at SXSW in Austin, TX on Tuesday, March 11th in celebration of the Digital debut of the blockbuster hit comedy Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. The “AnchorVan” will make stops throughout the country en route to its final destination in New York City on April 1st for the film’s Blu-ray arrival. Check out the full press release below!
