When We Pretend We’re Dead: Eight Actors On Their Death Scenes
Down the rabbit hole of online message boards, few topics are ranked and debated with the same intensity as the Greatest Onscreen Deaths (e.g., "Best Film Deaths," "Best Movie Deaths," "50 Best Movie Deaths,” "Greatest Movie Deaths of All Time," and that’s before we even start talking about the “Best Deaths By ___” categories). The criteria for ranking these scenes vary; some are judged by degree of violence, others by such particulars as the songs accompanying the scenes. But there's one aspect of onscreen death these lists leave out: What's it like on the other side of the camera? READ MORE
Obituaries: "True Blood" Season 3 Finale Killed by Alan Ball Disease
Alan Ball Disease, a chronic but highly treatable autoimmune disorder in which a television show eats itself alive from the inside out without treatment, at last claimed last night's season finale of "True Blood."

God, six sentences? Okay. READ MORE
Ratings Show Enduring Appeal Of Vampires, Giant Dongs
HBO's "True Blood" and "Hung" did exceptionally well in the ratings Sunday night. Even "Entourage," now in its sixth season, saw vast improvement numbers-wise. All of this exceptionally good news for "Cockula: The Hollywood Files," my project about a vampire with an enormous dick who makes it big in LA. I'm thinking Viggo Mortensen for the lead, but if the right deal can be made I'm happy to consider alternatives.
