- (together) "Pussy!"

Yes, it's like the good old days of Deadwood.

Quantum of Solace spoilers in the Daily Mail! I have to say, I had my doubts about Gemma Arterton, who plays a Bond girl in the new film, at first. (Especially when she starting getting a reputation as a plot blabbermouth.) But after seeing Lost in Austen and the new Tess of the D'Urbervilles, she's really impressed me with her range.

Heather Havrilesky at Salon.com reviews HBO's True Blood:

'Yes, "True Blood" is that odd mix of kitschy, campy, over-the-top ridiculousness and weighty, message-laden social commentary. Alan Ball calls it "popcorn TV for smart people," but the average viewer is likely to find it at once addictive and stupid, intoxicatingly weird and confusing and goofy.'

Two promos for The Sarah Connor Chronicles, one quirky, both awesome.

TV Guide on FX's motorcycle gang drama, Sons of Anarchy, starring Charlie Hunnam, Ron Perlman and Drea de Matteo.

Oh my god. Charlotte Gainsbourg will be playing Kate Connor (aka Katherine Brewster, played by Claire Danes in T3) in Terminator 4 (Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins). Her I'm Not There co-star, Christian Bale, will play John Connor, and the cast also features Sam Worthington, Moon Bloodgood and Anton Yelchin. Empire has the following official synopsis:

'In the highly anticipated new installment of "The Terminator" film franchise, set in post-apocalyptic 2018, Christian Bale stars as John Connor, the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright (Sam Worthington), a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet's operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind.'

It all sounds so interesting and promising until you learn that a) McG is the director and b) the film's going to be rated PG-13. [imdb]
