Guess who's returning to True Blood? *SPOILERS*

Wet Paint has shared some spoilers for the upcoming season of True Blood... a familiar face returns... Sarah Newlin (played by Anna Camp)

Sarah might try to reconnect with Jason Stackhouse, who Sarah had an affair with in Season 2. This ruined her marriage to Steve Newlin and complicated Sookie Stackhouse’s life considerably — only now, with Jessica being Jason’s current romantic prospect, the plot thickens.

Oh, and Sarah’s ex-husband Steve is a “gay vampire American” now, so there’s that. And he has a thing for Jason. No doubt in our minds: her return will be complicated.

The last time we saw Sarah in Season 3, she was a member of the anti-vampire Fellowship of the Sun church, and her marriage to Steve had just ended. My, how things have changed since then! Are you excited to see the drama that Sarah causes?

 TV Line adds:

Camp, who’s currently juggling roles on Fox’s Mindy Project and CBS’ Vegas, floated the possibility of a Sarah comeback earlier this year, telling TVLine that her character has “a lot of unfinished business.” 

No doubt at the top of her to-do list is confronting ex-husband and former Fellowship of the Sun co-head Steve (Michael McMillian), who is now an out-and-proud gay man and a vampire.

Don’t be surprised if she also finds time to reconnect with ex-flame Jason, which would put her at odds with his current love, Jessica. (Anna Camp going head-to-head with Deborah Ann Woll? Count. Us. In.)

I can't wait! I love to hate Anna Camp in all her roles. She was awesome in Pitch Perfect. Also she's hot and Deborah Ann Woll is my girl crush so I would love to see some chick fights heh heh.

Breaking Dawn 2 - SPOILERS

I refused to post spoilers until after opening weekend. If you have not seen the film yet DO NOT READ ON!!!!

I am not kidding, you must experience this movie without spoilers to fully appreciate the journey!

That being said, if you HAVE seen the movie, feel free to click to read more....

Who was duped?

I mean by now most people have seen the movie, lived through the "twist" and.... were you believing?

I even said, while sobbing, "this must be a vision" and "the amazon is making them see this" but somehow, believed it was happening... Stephenie Meyer produced, she approved it and she wanted it to end with a bang..... boy did it ever!

I saw the movie again today with my husband and daughter, both who, like me, believed this was actually happening... I can never take back the vision of Carlisle's head... ever...

I have to say, I loved the movie, best one yet. Not only the homage to past movies through Bella "letting Edward in" or the credits that recognized everyone involved in all of these movies, but the fight scene.

When I read Breaking Dawn, I have to admit, I didn't love it. I really hated that when the Volturi and Cullens and witnesses all got together, the half vampire child came with Alice and Jasper and everyone just agreed to disagree... "my bad, as you were" BORING!!!

Even in Harry Potter, some of our beloved characters died! And I kind of wished there had been some bloodshed in Breaking Dawn.

When they cast all the new covens, I guessed that it was so they could kill them off and create the action and battle required in a movie, without breaking fans hearts quite as bad, sinve they weren't covens or characters we loved so dearly from the books.

Never did I imagine such an epic battle, what an emotional rollercoaster!

More on that in a moment, let's start from the start.....

From the start

I had seen the opening 10 minutes or so from Comic-Con. I loved seeing Bella-Vampire hunt, it was so epic. I mean the speed, the strength, the interactions with Edward and finally when she saves a deer to feed on the mountain lion? awesomeness!

Sex Scenes

PG-13, you have done me right ;) I thought it was a perfect mix of romance and hot, steamy, love.... the banter after by the fire was sweet and the close-up skin shots were perfect.... yes!

Jacob, Imprinting, Wolves

I loved everything about this. From when she comments on his stank, to when she drags him out of the house to beat his ass for imprinting on her daughter and nicknaming her Nessie "after the Loch Ness Monster?" bahahaha perfect combination of emotion and humour throughout these scenes. I also have to say I loved Rosalie's facial expressions and comments when Jacob has to tell Bella about the imprinting and of course all the Cullen's, in particular Edward, when Bella is kicking Jacob's ass.

Soundtrack

Amazing, as always, but this one was especially moving. I am creating the scene-by-scene list as always, stay tuned for link.

Renesme

Less creepy than I thought. Knowing what Mackenzie Foy looks like made the CGI younger Renesme's a little strange, but not robotic strange, thankfully. The distance between the eyes was a bit distracting, but it worked out ok. I really loved the flashforward of Alice's vision to mom, dad, baby and wolf boy all teenagers hanging out. Made it a lot less creepy right? right?

Covens

Ok., some covens were awesome.... when Guri and Noel appeared I was giggling and when they spoke, I died. So funny! I really loved them, actually I loved Taylor's bug-eyed look and giggle as Jacob when talking to Bella in the car. "Dracula one and dracula two" bahahahah

Loved the Amazon ladies, having seen them in real life, they really are tall, strong women, perfect casting. I wish Erik Odom had more screen time, he is so awesome! I guess having met them at COmic-Con and then at Fan Camp I was disappointed at how little screen time and speaking lines most of them had.

I really loved Kate and Garrett together, and the camp fire when the vamps share war stories, too fun! Alistar was awesome and really, overall I thought they were all pretty amazing, if only we saw more of each of them.

Battle

Ok the big "twist" I mentioned it above a bit, but honestly, best ever! For all the reasons above, but also because it was just enough action to get even non-twi-fans into the movie. My husband loved it! One thing I did find out from awesome @Jaymes805 was that this whole "scene" was in the book, kind of:

"Alice gave Aro the excuse he needed to get out of the fight. If he hadn't been so terrified of Bella, he probably would have gone ahead with his original plan."

Now, not many of us would have read into that one sentence the twenty minute insanity that took place on screen.... I joked that the one sentence = 20 terrifying movie minutes, a xanax and a box of tissues.

Overall

Best so far! Bill Condon is god.

What did you think????

#bb14 HoH Comp Spoilers from Live Feed

Tonight was epic. It is only a minor spoiler to say it is an endurance HoH Comp that will likely continue into the evening. I am on live feeds and will update as things happen. Check back / Refresh this page often.... spoilers under the cut...

More... So tonight's episode showed us America voted coaches return to the game. The choice was, coaches could return and re set the game, no one is evicted, OR they could NOT return, game continues, but some evicted houseguests would return next week.

If even one coach voted to return,they all would. Surprisingly, Boogie was the only one who did NOT vote to retun.

So coaches are back, neither Joe nor Frank went home, and now live feeds have all 12 houseguests on a "plank" of a boat (wall) rocking back and forth, holding on to a bar, with rain and burd poop being dropped on them... so far....

7:41pm - All are still up there. Boogie looks to be struggling the most - ha ha old man!

8:05pm - Boogie jumps, shortly after Jen is out, then Joe right after.

*Talk of pizza, but it is the BB Staff not the HGs that jumped*

Britt, Ian looking strongest at this point. Danielle not bad either. Shane complains of previous shoulcer injury, Janelle and Ashley both looking sore, moving a lot to adjust. Frank, Dan, Wil seem ok.

8:39pm - another dump of water/rain poured on them. Still just the three out.

8:42pm - Ashley falls.

8:44pm - Dan falls.

9:05pm - Frank is out.

6 remain: Shane, Wil, Danielle Janelle, Brit, Ian.

9:22pm - Boogie upset about other houseguests locking elbows, asks if it is a rule, Joe says no, just a saftey caution. Boogie yells to Ian "lock elbows if you need to, everyone else is" etc. etc.

Rain starts again. Shane struggling most. Ian seems to be in best shape.

9:37pm - Wil and Shane jumped off together.

9:40pm - Janelle is out.

Danielle, Brit, Ian left.

9:46pm - Danielle, Brit, Ian remain, houseguests in house changing, Dan giving coach speech to Danielle "not your coach but I will help you, I chose you for a reason, you want to win don't you? You don't take deals, you make deals" ha ha

10:08pm - Ian, after triple checking he was safe, jumped.

10:09 - Brit jumps. Danielle wins!!!

Danielle wins, Dan tackles her in congrats, Shane does same with an added kiss.

#bb14 And the Power of Veto Goes to....

Who won POV? What else was won during the comp?

*Spoilers ahead*

More...


Shane won POV

Ian won $3k - but sounds like something happened with Boogie winning $6k and something happened...?? Maybe he won and divied out money? Not sure.

Jenn won $1k

Boogie won a sushi party - He, Brittney, Dan, Janelle, Danielle and Shane attend

Janie offering up her wedding ring to Shane "trust me, hold on to it" Shane refuses.

#bb14 live feed and #BBAD Updates

By now you have seen the show and know who went home and who the new HOH is right? If you don't have live feeds and want to know what's being discussed... read on..

More...

Shane said today if he won HOH he would put up Joe and Wil and he seems to be still on the wave legnth, but we will swee...

It seems the strategy SHOULD be to nominate one from each team (Janelle's and Boogie's) to makei t more fair (Brit and Dan are down to one each) leaving Danielle to be a swing vote.

Janelle and Dan agreed Frankw ould be the best bet, and if Shane doesn't put him up it will mean they have an alliance (they do... even Brit isn't aware of it, after Shane took himself off the block last week when Frank put him up, they have been buddy, but only secretly and only because Boogie in a moment of wisdom, pointed out that Shane is a strong competitor and if he isn't going home, he is probably going to win an HOH soon)

If I had to predict at this moment, Shane will go with Joe and Wil or if he is pushed to do one from each team maybe Jen... I don't know though... We have to see who wins coaches competition also and if that involves a save or a trade.

Also, they are drinking, so it may be an interesting/fun night...

#bb14 spoilers

Last night (July 21) about 10pm BBT Wil brought out his alter-ego "Craig" a straight rapper.

He and the girls did a dance, which was epic fun! If you have live feeds flashback to it - pretty funny

The rest of what I have to say is spoiler - read on only if you don't care

More...


So Willie is gone. We know this from my previous spoiler post.

Janelle won Coach Compa nd saved Ashley.

Shane and Jojo were put up by HOH Frank.

Shane won POV, saved/saving himself obviously

Based on conversations it sounds like Danielle will be replacement nominee.

So if Danielle goes home, Dan is out of players.

There is a lot of "playing" going on. Frank & BOogie talked to Shane last night saying they would work with him, yadda yadda.

It feels like a lot ofplayers are saying one thing to one group and another to another, so until we see DR it is tough to know how they will really vote.

JOJO drives me nuts so I 'd love to see her go. I also don't like Danielle after watching more of her on live feed... lastnight in the hammock with Dan she said she didn't like pretending to be a K teacher because she was actually as smart as Ian and can "recite the periodic table" ha ha ha

She also went on and on about appearences and not caring (though she looks in the mirror 24/7) and that she didn't care about not being a blonde bombshell (yes as Trixie, etc she said she was the only brunette boo hoo) and talked about how she had legal responsibilities if there was an injury because she is so high up in the medical field... oh god! It isn't that any of this is/isn't true, it is HOW she says it, going on and on and on - i just don't like her....

My opinions right now:

Not a fan of:

-Joe - dirty, yappy, hate his fae landing strip

-JoJo - needs a muzzle

-Danielle - so yappy, self-centered yet insecure

-Boogie - name dropping, controling, thinks he is the bomb, looks old and sick

Like:

-Dan as coach and overall
-Ian to win
-Janelle - tolerable, she is way less cool this season so far
-Jenn - different, i like it
-Frank - I loved Willie so i am sad about that whole issue but I do like Frank, minus Boogie's influence.

Hunger Games Review - SPOILERS

I was lucky enough to get to see The Hunger Games World Premiere on Monday March 12, 2012 in L.A. at the Nokia Theatre. After an overnight in the fan-camp "The Hob" meeting many of the cast and then front row of the black carpet, I was so excited to see the film.

WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD

More... It opens with Caesar & Seneca talking about the games. I was shocked it opened this way, but it quickly went back and told us the story of Katniss.

They quickly established the strong relationship between Primrose and Katniss as Primrose has a bad dream and is comforted by Katniss' lullabye. If you hadn't read the books the significance of this lullabye, along with a hissing cat greeting Katniss afterwards would be lost.

Katniss goes out into the forest through the gate and sees a deer. Gale interupts her hunting and there is some friendly flirtatious banter. They discuss the reaping and their future. He says they can escape and runaway.

Back home they prepare for the reaping as Prim and Katniss get dressed up and prettied.

There is nothing on their dad or the story there, but they do show a photo of him on the mantle. I think you need to have read the book to understand the implications of these types of minor additions to the film.

In the good-bye Katniss gives a firm talk to her mother on being strong, again from the books we know what happened with their mother and Katniss says she simply can not check-out again, Prim needs her.

It is very moving and yet another bawl fest comes on when she says her good-bye to Prim. This is the scene Jennifer Lawrence used for her audition and got her the role. It has been quite public how she brought Gary Ross to tears, understandably so.

The training is awesome. We see Peeta paint his arm in camo and after the other tributes pick on him Katniss gives him a pep talk on how he can throw bags of flour over his shoulder and to stand up to them - and so he does.

Katniss' scene when she is being tested is awesome. After missing her first arrow, the capitol reps and sponsors lose interest and she grabs their attention well shooting the arrow into the apple in the pigs mouth, leading to the highest rating.

The interviews are awesome, as are the outfits. I wish they had included more from each tributes interview. Peeta proves to be very charasmastic and a bit mysterious. They frequently flash to the "bread scene" throughout the movie, slowly revealing a bit more. In his interview he talks about Katniss' as we have seen in the clip all over the internet.

Cinna was not as extravagant as I hoped. He did have faint gold eyeliner but I really expected a bit more. His relationship with Katniss was established quickly and seemed genuine and tender. Her dress in the arena to the interview is awesome - we have seen photos of the coal black outfits that light on fire. The interview dress, however, was less like the book. It did have jewels on her shoulder then a red dress and the bottom then lights on fire as she spins. Still beautiful and keeps the focus on the "girl on fire"

Once the actual games start things get intense. the cornacopia is nothing like I imagined, more of a metal structure shaped as the horn than perhaps what I envisioned. It worked.

Sadly, some of the lovely tribute children played by cute actotrs and actresses I had just meton the carpet were killed instantly.

It is not as graphic as I expected, it has mostly off-screen violence and implied deaths, though I can tolerate a lot of violence so my interpretation may not be accurate. The most "graphic" scene to me was when the tracker-jackers sting Clove and they show her stung dead body and face.

But that is later, first we get the run to the cornacopia, the run away, the battles, the deaths then the journey.

It seemed to go too fast for me at times and too slow at times. I kept wanting to see certain things and felt anxious waiting and hoping they were included.

I can't recall sequential order at this time but here are some points I recall and wanting to discuss.

The scene when Rue points out the tracker jacker hive near Katniss and she is cutting the branch to send it down tot he tribute alliance waiting at the bottom of the tree.... the branch is SO thick - even though I know the outcome, I am sitting there wondering how on earth she will ever get through that branch.

The flower tribute to Rue was done well, I was worried it wouldn't be but I was satisfied, though ugly-crying the whole time - in fact from when they started to bond I started to bawl, just knowing what was to come.

Also, they show Rue's district do the three finger salute to the screen when Katniss' does the flowers for Rue and then they show the riot start which foreshadows what is to come in future movies.

The cave scene was really well done, it was funny how you were waiting for Peeta and Katniss kiss then they did and everyone cheered, then they showed Gale and everyone went "awn"

They built the triangle/conflict well in the movie. I was worried it wouldn't translate since so much of the book, including the cave, was Katniss' internal thoughts on Peeta and Gale and the differences and how she felt.... but in the movie they couldn't possible show that, instead they did subtly flashes back home to people watching the Hunger Games and flashes of Gale's concern over Peeta and Katniss.

The mutts at the end were vicious but there was no indication they were past contestents, or their eyes, or had anything to do with them, which was disappointing snce that was one of the more disturbing parts of the novel.

The end interview with Peeta and Katniss was good, you could see a change in Katniss and it was really well done. It ends a little differently than the novel, though I read all three so fast I can't be exact certain of where each novel ended, but in the movie they don't start their tour yet, they just return home.

Overall it is a good adaptation and I can't wait to watch it again to see more parts I am forgetting now as I write this (totally sleep deprived) Thoguhts? Have you seen it yet?
