[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

He wears 2, count them, 2 nicotine patches to help him stay off of them.

I'm having such serious NewsRadio flashes on account of this that it's not even funny, that's how funny it is.

Damn, need NR DVDs NOW.

That was funny? Huh. That's what I get for never having seen NewsRadio. I'm the comic foil without intent. Wear me on your head, people!

Well, it reminded me of one of the best ever episodes of NewsRadio, where Bill goes on the patch.

Those patches make a nice belt. <Cut to ambulance footage.>

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.

DB turned 33 in May - JM will be 42 in August.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

JM will be 42 in August.

So weird to think of him as my age. Until I remember that picture of him with the bigass afro in the 70s.

He does carry it well. (most of the time anyway) He commented at one of the recent Cons that it only starts to show when he's really tired.

Art Crawl!!!

Kristin has some more non-conclusive yet encouraging words about a possible series of Angel movies.

Also at ComicCon, ED said that she wouldn't mind doing a Buffyverse film, but hadn't heard of any. (And the blogger said that SMG also hadn't heard of any.)

The evil is this way?

"Angel" got mentioned in the latest online tvguide:

Question:
I just read that WB chief Garth Ancier insinuated that had 20th Century Fox and the network just waited until May to make a decision about Angel's renewal, the show may still be on the air. Of the myriad of questions that come to mind (such as, why on earth would Garth say such a thing unless his motive was to crush every Angel fan out there), my main question is why did they force themselves to make a decision so early? And even if they had their reasons for making an early decision, why didn't the network, when they began to doubt their decision to cancel, vindicate the many fans who were unyielding in their efforts to save Angel? The fans never gave up hope, Joss Whedon wrote a "series finale" that could easily have been a season finale, and yet, they made him strike the sets and lose David Boreanaz so there can be little hope for any Angel movies. Have I mentioned that I hate the WB? — Sarah

Matt:
This too-little-too-late hindsight felt awfully self-serving to me. It seems clear the network was determined to cancel the show, early deadline or not, and giving Joss a chance to plan an appropriate finale was better than delivering the blow in May. But you're absolutely right that when WB realized that its development for this season was so disappointing (failing, for instance, to get the Dark Shadows remake pilot right), that they could have made an effort to reverse the decision on Angel. Regardless of the result, it would have been seen as a good-faith effort to right a wrong.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

OMG! remember last July when we were laughing about Joss' supposedly joking whiteboard regarding the upcoming season?

At the End of Days Starfury convention, [they showed] a video from Joss to the fans that featured a spoof Season 5 writer's whiteboard:

“Numfar = Sexy”
“Angel not brooding enough”
“Show not gay enough, more ballet!”
“Hand puppets”
“KILL WESLEY!”

If you replace "ballet" with "Spike," they incorporated 4 out of the 5 into the actual show!
