Can I get a show of fangs, please? How many of you are happy that True Blood has been renewed for a 5th season? I know I am. I wonder if season 5 will be the year of the wolf and we’ll see Sookie and Alcide hook up? How many of you are stoked for that storyline?

Anyways, I thought I’d post some True Blood quick bites. Let’s go inside last week’s episode. In case you missed it click the link for last week’s review of “Let’s Get Out of Here”.

1. Do you think Sookie is greedy?
2. Who do you think Sookie loves more? Bill? or Eric? Or is it just the blood?
3. Do you think the Lafayette/Mavis storyline was corny even though it is a necessary storyline?
4. Do think Terry and Arlene should still be super pissed at Lafayette for stealing Mikey?
5. Do you believe in possession?
6. Do you think Andy needs an intervention?
7. Is it just me or is Alcide reminding you of a knight in shining armor?
8. Do you think Eric will get his memories back? If he does, what will happen to him and Sookie?
9. Will Alcide find out that Debbie fell off the wagon?
10. Will Hoyt find out about Jason and Jessica?

Favorite quotes from episode 409 “Let’s get Out of Here”:

“I might be parrot-phrasing… a little.” ~ Jason to Jessica

“You got it, bitch.” ~ Lafayette to Mavis

Sneak peeks of episode 410 “Burning Down the House”.

Andy, Andy, Andy. How long did you think you could hide your ish from people? Well, looks like your number’s up!

Tara is some mad now. So is Holly. Antonia better watch out. We all know what Tara can do when she’s angry and she is enraged this time. As for Holly, well, she looks like the kind of witch who has no problem with getting even.

The remorse is starting to set in for Jason now that the deed is done. That boy just never learns. His weakness of the flesh gets him into trouble every time, and Jessica is trouble with a capital T.

There are only 3 episodes of True Blood left. Thank goodness for season 5. Unfortunately it’s going to be a looooong, excruciating wait and #waitingsucks. I can feel the #tbwithdrawal already.

Yes, that’s right folks. Kim Kardashian’s fairy tale wedding to Kris Humphries will air on E! in a two part special. It’s going to be called Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event and will air October 9th and 10th. It makes total sense. The Kardashians have their own show on the network so it’s just obvious that they would be bringing you the event of the season.

Can you imagine getting paid to get married? It’s being reported that the happy couple are pocketing a cool $1.5 million from People Magazine just for their wedding photos, $300, 000 from their May engagement announcement and $100, 000 from OK Magazine for the bridal shower photos. And Kim Kardashian’s mom Kris Jenner gets 10% of that, LOL! Gotta hand it to ‘em, but those Kardashians sure know how to capitalize on their celebrity. They also know how to make money hand over fist.

A Little Kardashian Trivia…

Can you believe that once upon a time Kim used to be a stylist to Paris Hilton? Funny how dynamics can change, yeah? I wonder if Paris was invited to the wedding…

This isn’t Kim’s first wedding. Nope! When Kim was 20 she married music producer Damon Thomas (he worked with Pink and Faith Evans and was 10 years older than Kim!) but they divorced in 2004.

In December 2007 Kim Kardashian graced the cover of Playboy and posed inside the magazine. She embraced her famous curves and told Men’s Fitness magazine, “Of course you’re nervous and want more time to work out. But I’m proud to show people who I am. You always see the typical skinny models and I’m not that and I’m proud not to be that.” Atta girl, Kim!

As big as this wedding was, how much do you want to bet that when Brangelina decides to tie the knot — even if it’s a teensy, weensy ceremony in the wilds of Africa where the bride wears a T-shirt and flip flops, the groom is in pretty much the same, and they spend 500 bucks or less on the whole shebang — how much do you wanna bet that wedding will be the wedding of the century? I wonder how much those pictures would go for? And you know Santa Angelina would just give it all away to charity.

Every year, Juicy Couture comes out with the same suits over and over again. Then why do we still buy them?
We buy them because when we just don’t feel like putting in any effort to look cute, we still can once we zip up that precious j.

Coming out for fall once again is the velour suit. It always comes in a variety of dark fall colours in that soft and fuzzy, precious fabric. No one will bat an eye at you if you decide to leave the house wearing one, it’s OK to grocery shop, get your hair and nails done and go to the gym.

Almost indestructible, Juicy suits are so versatile and coveted by anyone who is anyone.

Was Kim Kardashian wearing one on her special day? You bet she was! Nowadays, Juicy suits are so in fashion that brides to be wear them on the way to the spa and even the big event because they don’t leave any clothing lines, and are easy to slip on and off. They are never fail wardrobe staples, and that’s why I will continue to keep buying “heather gray” over and over again.

Artistic obsession can destroy you. If you are an artist of any sort I am certain that you know the meaning of that statement. Whether it is true or not is open to debate. The Symphony is a surrealist film made with the Exquisite Corpse technique by Michael LaPointe that examines this very predicament with the no holds barred lens of an auteur.

The Symphony

You’ll never know Ray’s name. You’ll know his desire: he’s a self mutilating musician who is slowly killing himself to make an album. Why? Because he sees it as his legacy to the world. As blood drips down his stomach he questions if a legacy is worth his life. As blood drips, he cuts himself more and more… “Death is worth the world.” A narrative feature film.

Written and directed by: Michael LaPointe

Cast: Robin Zamora, Marissa Merrill, Bill Oberst Jr., Vance Harvey

In the opening sequence Ray (Robin Zamora) heats an exacto knife blade with a flame and proceeds to cut himself. It’s a practiced and studied motion that seems like a ritual that will make you cringe. Here is an artist that is truly suffering for his art. Like most cutters he cuts to feel but his methods are twofold; he also cuts to encourage hallucinations so that he is able to compose music for his album, his magnum opus.

His hallucinations are something out of a fever dream, and frightening and disturbing as they are they are the inspiration he needs to compose his album. Ray has checked out of his life, the only things he seems to feel is the pain from his self mutilations and the need to create his legacy. His girlfriend Samantha (Marissa Merrill) is callous and somewhat oblivious to what drives him, almost uncaring about his inner turmoil yet worried about his state of mind and health by rote. To even the most casual observer his devotion to his craft is an unhealthy obsession.

On the one hand it is understandable what he trying to achieve; everyone wants to leave a part of themselves behind to fulfill their need to prove that they existed, that they mattered. But this is an extreme sickness Ray suffers from, claiming to need cutting in order to create is simply a way to justify what he is doing to himself.

Do we all destroy ourselves to attain our dreams? All artists go through periods of drought in their creative exertions, even those who are the most prolific, but would the majority of artists injure themselves to stimulate the process of creativity?

Ray (Robin Zamora) and Chancelor (Bill Oberst Jr.) in the desert.

Ray helps a stranger who proves to have a pivotal role in his endeavor to acquire posterity. The existence of Chancelor (Bill Oberst Jr.) seems to coincide with Ray’s discovery that his piece needs someone to die. His girlfriend briefly becomes his proxy cutter but Ray realizes that it must be him who who suffers in order to create. He’s searching for an elusive sound, and his searching leads him to wander into the area of the occult. Names like Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuberg and notions that selling one’s soul for art intermingle with Ray’s idea that death will give The Symphony a perfect ending. It also coincides with the belief that the self mutilation of oneself gives the mutilator the ability to transcend the earthly plane into bliss.

Ray finds a willing partner in this radical concept in Chancelor who sees Ray as the Victor Neuberg to his Aleister Crowley. Their journey to the desert follows in the footsteps of Crowley and Neuberg where they also search for a portal to the mystical freedom they both desire.

The Symphony is an exercise in sublime, macabre surrealism; the story of a man searching for the profound while composing his magnum opus and ode to obsession. The moral of the story is total abandonment to your passions can lead to your very destruction.

Is the completion of his album within Ray’s grasp? Is what Ray after worthwhile? This is the question The Symphony poses and only you can be the judge of the answer to that query. The answer is different for everyone.
