Snoop Dogg likes True Blood?

Snoop Dogg watches True Blood?  Sopranos or the Wire would seem like a more logical choice, but Snoop has confessed his Tue Blood love with an ode to Sookie via music video.

Boardwalk Empire (New HBO)

When it comes to television, HBO actually makes high quality entertainment worth watching (maybe not The Pacific....).  Their newest show is a prohibition era gangster esce drama that takes place in Atlantic city entitled Boardwalk Empire.  I love this time period (although I wished Public Enemies was a bit better) and I'm stoaked to see HBO has one of the writers from Sopranos.  True Blood, Entourage, Boardwalk Empire; my plate is full.

A new trailer has been released for The Pacific showcasing Iwo Jima.  I can't wait for this series and I have a feeling it will be pretty intense.

Drinking Tru Blood Will Not Get You Sookie

SOOKIE DRINK MY BLOOOOOOD! Do you think Bill Compton eats Count Chocula for breakfast?  Hell no, he drinks Tru Blood and the blood of Rogue Sookie.  Well, if you want to be a pale clammy nerd "Vampire" you can throw back a bottle of Tru Blood and take one step closer to Diabetes coolness.

HBO is selling a 4 pack of Tru Blood for $19 ($16 for the bottles, $3 shipping surchage ) at their online store.  It has an ironic flavoring of blood orange; see the info from the site:

Meticulously crafted, the Tru Blood Drink is an exact replica of the bottle design as seen on True Blood. The 14oz glass Tru Blood bottle is stained in a rich red, with raised Tru Blood English lettering and matching Japanese Kanji.

This blood orange flavored soda is slightly tart, lightly sweet and subtly carbonated. Designed to taste great while matching the appearance of Bill’s favorite drink, the drink pours like a regular soda, but with the standing appearance in a glass is stormy and mysterious.

A quick note about the HBO store.... About a year ago I purchased two medium shirts from the HBO online store, Generation Kill and John Adams.  Much to my chagrin, the two medium shirts I ordered were damn near two different sizes.  The Gen Kill shirt fit like a standard medium (hanes beefy tee style), and the John Adams shirt was literally a friggin baby tee!  No joke, it had to be an extra small (yes the tag still said medium; it was way smaller than an American Apparel small).  No description or measurements were posted on the site for either shirt and IIRC I would have had to damn near double the cost of the shirt (in shipping there and back again) to get a properly sized John Adams shirt.  Alas, I haven't been back to the HBO store, and the thought of close to $5 a bottle of vampire juice doesn't get my blood flowing.

Was anyone else a little let down about the season finale?
