Hung, My New Love

HBO strikes again! Billy and I have been Tivo-ing Hung every week after True Blood (the best show EVER) but weren't sure if we needed more tv in our lives, so we just let the episodes pile up on each other, until one day earlier this week, when we were feeling broke & pissed & desperate for a distraction. We bought a cheap, organic bottle of wine & had ourselves a Hung marathon. Actually, we didn't set out to have a marathon, it's just that one episode led to the next and then the next & next until a couple of hours flew by & we found ourselves hooked on another tv show. It's so funny, the music is awesome, and you can't help but fall in love with Thomas Jane's Ray, the poor sap with a major unit...


Shout out to the music supervisor! How do we get an Obedient Waves song on Hung? Say... "Let's Make It Three"? Or no- I know... "The Bean"!

Watch True Blood Online For Free

TRUE BLOOD is easily one of the best things to happen to my living room. It's funny, scary, sexy, and so damn quirky. The multiple story lines keep it moving fast, like a dark, twisted soap opera, replete with shape-shifters, holy rollers, demons, telepaths, and, yes, vampires. If you don't have HBO (I'm sorry) or have been living under a rock for the last year, it's not too late. You can catch up on all previous episodes HERE for FREE!

Diane Keaton is a Feminist Pornographer?

I love my HBO! Flight Of The Conchords? Check. True Blood? Check Check. And now... an in the works, still untitled half-hour comedy series starring Diane Keaton as a feminist pornographer styled after Gloria Steinem. The shows creator, Marti Noxon, wrote Keaton's pornographer as a feminist icon who attempts to reignite the movement by starting a sexually explicit magazine for women, and will co-produce with Dawn Parouse Olmstead, her partner in Grady Twins Prods., and Keaton.

I love Diane Keaton. She's smart, original, and has done us all a great favor by not hacking up her face. And, if I'm the target market here, they couldn't do better to promote this film than to compare Diane Keaton & the character she'll be playing to Gloria Steinem, a woman who has always appealed to me as a role model, but more & more so as I get older & further realize the importance of the feminist movement...

"There are a lot of similarities between Diane and Gloria Steinem," Parouse Olmstead is quoted as saying of the show in The Hollywod Reporter. "They both grew up in the '50s, a period marked by women finding their relevance sexually, and Diane has been attracted to roles about women exploring their sexuality in films like 'Something's Gotta Give... Keaton has played feminist icons: She portrayed journalist Louise Bryant in 1981 film "Reds" and aviator Amelia Earhart in the 1994 telefilm "Amelia Earhart: The Final Flight."
