Blood Work! "True Blood" video blog 2.7: Taste the rainbow!

In this week's Very Special Blood Work, Andy and I taste-test the new TruBlood carbonated beverage. Will we prefer it cold, hot, or with vodka? I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count.

Plus, we of course discuss the wacky seventh episode of True Blood Season Two, "Release Me". What of Eggs and Little Miss Baconpants? What of zombie whores and skank hos? And can the show ever again reach the brilliance of Sarah Newlin's "Golfcart of the Valkyries" moment?

All this and a heck of a hangover await, below. Hurry ... it's going faster than fritters on a fat farm!

Tru Blood beverage: This had better mix with liquor

So we just got a bottle of Tru Blood in the mail from the delicious folks at HBO ... just in time for Unemployed Homosexual Cocktail Hour (Part 1 of 7, daily)!

I'm intrigued by the flavor (blood orange), a bit disturbed by the nutritional content (mammamiadassalotta niacin and B12 ... is real blood high in these, I wonder?) and convinced that even if it tastes more like actual blood than fruit, it will still be more appetizing than Red Bull.

We're going to crack open the bottle and taste it on our next Blood Work! True Blood vlog, so be sure to check back next Tuesday to find out what O-Positive tastes like.

And if you can't wait for our review to pre-order your own (the drink ships out in early September), head on over to the Tru Beverage website and order up a 12-pack.

Like this one!

Or that one!

Or this one!

Or that one!

Note: You cannot actually order Ryan Reynolds, gun cases, or reality star douchebags from the Tru Blood site. Did I mention that I'm already wasted? Wheee!

Blood Work! "True Blood" video blog 2.6: "PussyCat Blues"

Betcha didn't know that apart from being a vampire, a skilled pumpkin-carver, a doting husband and the self-appointed captain of Team Bill, Andy is also an accomplished megaphone crooner.

It's true! Andy lets his old-timey colors (or lack thereof) show in the latest installment of Blood Work Too!, in which we discuss the croontastic latest episode of True Blood, "Hard-Hearted Hannah".

Will the pussycats get sober? Will we run out of gin? And will we ever get the color back in our apartment?

Watch to find out!

Join us Sunday night on "Loving True Blood" Blogtalk radio!

Stephen Moyer and Mariana Klaveno

That's right, the lovely and talented Dallas of the Loving True Blood blog and radio show has invited us back on to discuss tomorrow night's Big Bill Episode of True Blood, where it looks like everyone's favorite pasty-delicious Civil War vet will reconnect with his vampire Mama, Lorna Doone. (Lorraine? Loofah? ... Okay, it's Lorena.)

I'll post the widget here tomorrow night prior to the 10:30EDT start time, or you can pop over to Loving True Blood in Dallas in the meantime and check out all the vamp-lovin' awesomeness there.

And here's the widget for the show, which we'll be on shortly. Join Usssssss!!

The 7 Best Animated Lafayette GIFs

Hey, Hookah fans! Over on the CampBlood.org Video page I've posted seven of the best animated GIFs that I could find of everyone's favorite sass-slingin', afghan-lovin' fry cook, Lafayette Reynolds (Nelsan Ellis). (Note: It may take the page a minute or two to load due to the sheer ghetto fabulousness contained therein.)

I'm also in the process of cleaning up the Blood Work Too! vlogs and adding some embedded video where once were only download links (technology is advancing faster than a staph infection at a David Barton Gym!). Unfortunately, the now-legendary Stephen Geoffreys Intimate Portrait will likely never find its way onto a video streaming site, for obvious reasons ... but it's still ripe for downloadin'!

And yes, as many of you have kindly pointed out, the Season 1 Blood Works that once lived on the video page are no longer working, so I've had to remove all the embeds (as helpful commenter Ian pointed out, you can still view the videos over here). I have no idea what the deal is there, but so be it. We sally forth. Heck, sometimes we even Mary Worth!

Blood Work! "True Blood" video blog 2.5: Tubthumping!

That's right, ladies and germs: We're back with the latest installment of Blood Work Too!, our very own True Blood recap vlog.

This week we discuss bathtub handjobs, hotel porn, the voluptuous horror of Ed Quinn, and whether or not Bill has to "warm it up" before he and Sookie play hide-the-stake. So basically it's like your typical episode of The View, only in our case the undead isn't limited to Barbara Walters.

Zing!

Enjoy it all below!

Blood Work! "True Blood" video blog 2.4: "Shake and Fingerpop"

Yes, we're back to recap the latest episode of the increasingly horny HBO vampire show, True Blood, with our sexed-up take on 2.4, "Shake and Fingerpop".

Find out what happens when Andy lets me drink Yoo-Hoo, our thoughts on sploshing, and with whom we'd Like to Do Bad Things this week, below!

(Note: No cats were harmed, emotionally scarred or impregnated in the making of this video.)

Keep up with her over here on her site.

One thing that a pal pointed out: Andy used the word "pantaloons" in the show, which reminded me of what is easily the best 6 seconds in the history of television. Please to enjoy:

Pantaloons

Jim Parrack as Hoyt Fortenberry

So in the meantime, what did y'all think of last night's True Blood ("Scratches")? Are we getting excited about The Best Little Orgy House in Bon Temps? Is Lafayette out of harm's way? What of Little Lord Fortenberry? And just what does Daphne Butterfingers think she's doing messin' around with my man?!?!?

Blood Work "True Blood" video blog Ep. 8: Pumpkin guts and muddy buttocks!

Hey kids - there's a new Blood Work vlog up, and it's got that "new pumpkin smell"! That's right, Andy devised some sweet-ass True Blood jack-o-lantern templates that we give a try in this week's ep as we discuss Sunday's gay-vampire-heavy, dirty-cemetery-sex-filled True Blood.

Check it out over on the CampBlood Video page, where you can also find a link to download your own carving templates!

Blood Work "True Blood" video blog Ep. 7: Joe Zaso to the rescue!

Okay, you guys owe me big-time. In the name of gay horror fans everywhere, I subjected myself to an hour of time in front of a roaring (fake) fireplace with the hideously deformed and totally shirtless horror himbo Joe Zaso. I know, I know - the things I will put myself through for you people!

Truth be told, Joe is a doll and a wonderful co-host, and I'd lie on his bearskin rug anytime. Yes, that's a euphemism. At any rate, we discuss episode seven of True Blood, and it's a doozy!

Enjoy all the sexiness over on the CampBlood Video page!!

New "Blood Work" video blog (Ep 6): Nelsan Ellis and some damn good pie

Hey, vampire-lovers (and vampire lovers)! The Blood Work video blog is back to discuss this week's pie-heavy episode of True Blood, and it features a very very special guest: Nelsan Ellis, the actor who plays Bon Temps' sassiest short-order-cook (slashdrugdealerslashprostitute). It's just a taste of a full interview I'll be running in a few weeks, but I thought it worked into this week's vlog nicely so there ya go.

It's up over at the CampBlood Video page, so check it out!

New "Blood Work" video blog (Ep 5): Home Sweet House of Horrors

Heya, sickos. I have a brand new Blood Work vlog covering last night's !SHOCKING! episode of True Blood (OMGICAN'TBELIEVETHEYDIDTHAT), and for the special occasion I roped horror filmmaker Bryan Norton, who brought us the fabulously spine-chilling haunted house tale Penny Dreadful, into letting me crash his apartment. Trust me, it is truly a mind-boggling museum of horror movie memorabilia, one-of-a-kind nasties, and ... like ... other shit.

To check out his pad and our scintillating conversation, head on over to the CampBlood Video page! Wheeeeeeee!

New updated CampBlood Video page!

So in order to not drive everyone cuckoobananas with the Blood Work vlogs, I've updated the dusty old CampBlood Video page (which was really as creaky as Betsy Palmer's knees by this point) with a Blood Work section, and will be adding some other tasty video treats as time goes by.

If you haven't checked out the vlog yet, it's up to Episode 4: The Continuing Adventures of Jason Stackhouse's Penis, and it's kinda fun shit. Do take a spin!

Blood Work Ep. 2: Drunk on Blood

Are you watching True Blood on HBO? If not, you really should be, because it's starting to get very interesting. Somewhat less interesting but hopefully at least marginally entertaining? Me and indie horror fashionplate Alan Rowe Kelly getting drunk on tequila and recapping the second episode.

"SHOOTERS!!"

It's over on the CampBlood Video page!
