True Blood
I'm clawing the walls in anticipation for the DVD set for True Blood - The Complete Third Season. I do not have HBO so have not watched last season's episodes. I pre-ordered the DVD set through Amazon three months ago. According to Amazon, it will be released tomorrow - Tues., May 31, 2011 for $29.99. Hopefully it will arrive within the week. With all my fall/winter shows having wrapped up for the season, I'm going into withdrawal...feeling all empty inside & lost without my normal dose of supernatural, fantasy or sci-fi entertainment. So here's a big Yahoo!!!! for the day I yank the package out of the mailbox & start drooling!!

Article I've written on Johnny Depp
Admiring Johnny Depp:
High praise goes out to Johhny Depp and his brilliant acting and entertainment career! This man "becomes" the characters he portrays. It's as if the roles he chooses have been specifically created just for him. And in some cases, they probablywere written with Depp in mind to play a certain character. He is truly different, mysterious, odd and lovable and fans DO love him!

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides Article/Info
New article I've compiled on Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Johnny Depp is totally amazing for the role of Captain Jack Sparrow...perfect personality that fits the part!
Synopsis Written by Walt Disney Pictures:
Captain Jack Sparrow (Depp) crosses paths with a woman from his past (Cruz), and he's not sure if it's love -- or if she's a ruthless con artist who's using him to find the fabled Fountain of Youth. When she forces him aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, the ship of the formidable pirate Blackbeard (McShane), Jack finds himself on an unexpected adventure in which he doesn't know who to fear more: Blackbeard or the woman from his past.
Internet Movie Database (www.imdb.com) votes have poured in rating Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides a whopping 8.2 out of a 10!! (At the time of this posting, 1,903 votes were in.)
