PIXAR’S DINOSAUR PROJECT IS A DISCOVERY CHANNEL TV SPECIAL

You might recall that last August, Pixar fans spotted some concept artwork featuring a boy and his dinosaur, on sculptor Greg Dykstra’s wall in behind the scenes b-roll footage for Up. Someone also noticed some interesting postings made by Pixar animator and paleontology buff Austin Madison on his personal blog recounting a trip taken by a group of Pixar dino enthusiasts, including Dykstra, to the badlands of South Dakota. Anyone who follows Pixar’s development process probably knows that the animation studio’s artists usually take research field trips while developing new films.

GUESS WHO’S GETTING HUNTED IN THE NEW SEASON OF TRUE BLOOD

11 new stills from True Blood season three, containing heaps of ridiculous vampire sass and style. If you though Maryann getting fisted by a bull was weird — wait until you meet this new vamp. Spoilers ahead.

I thought I’d stake myself in the face after Evan Rachel Woods miserable vampire yahtzee party. Just look at him in his little riding boots.

For anyone fascinated with dinosaurs the Pixar project sounds quite interesting.  Are you interested in seeing it?

These months leading up to the Season 3 premiere of True Blood feels like excruciating long hours that tick by ever so slowly. The teasers are becoming relentless, but are much needed after a long lull over the winter break.  I’m willing to place bets that the season premiere’s number of viewers will be astronomical. What do you think? Will it break any records?  We only hope!
