A Hot Steaming Cup of...True Blood, Leverage & Drop Dead Diva
True Blood left Squirt cold, Leverage made Sis laugh and Drop Dead Diva (a story about one woman's spirit in another woman's body) is totally "a real show".

Thursday Tidbits
- In catching up on past episodes of HBO's True Blood, Squirt is deeply frustrated (and I mean, DEEPLY FRUSTRATED) with the continuous (some would say gratuitous) use of dream sequences. Especially when the story and mythology of True Blood is as complex as it is, to have it all "be a dream" is incredibly confusing.
- I love Shakespeare. Like almost an unholy love of this man and his work. My goal, before the end of the year, is to find a version of Romeo & Juliet that I like. I was not a fan of the Baz Luhrman oeuvre. Here are some of the versions of Shakespeare works that I love (and will probably watch as a marathon over this Labor Day weekend)...
- We're super excited about the re-emergence of Odorama in the form of the Spy Kids 4 movie. If all goes according to plan, we may even be able to tell you about it in the next podcast.
- A new podcast will go up this weekend, wherein we discuss Roller Derby, Attack the Block and Y The Last Man. And we will have a special bonus podcast, just in time for Labor Day weekend. Enjoy!

- Twelfth Night - BBC TV movie version with Parminder Nagra as Viola/Cesario, Chiwetel Ejiofor as Duke Orsino and Zubin Varla as Feste (the fool)
- Much Ado about Nothing - The Kenneth Branagh version with Emma Thompson as the amazing Beatrice. There is so much eye candy in this movie, regardless of what your eye likes to eat, that you will always find someone nice to rest your gaze upon, while the poetry of Shakespeare tickles your ears. (Okay, maybe that's a bit much, but I did mention that I LOVE Shakespeare, so really, you were already warned.)
- Love's Labours Lost - Also the Kenneth Branagh version. And it's a musical! Nathan Lane! Alicia Silverstone! Matthew Lillard! Alessandro Nivola! Adrian Lester! Where can it go wrong? (Nowhere, that's where. (Again, you were warned.))
