The gay Clancy thing was set up in the pilot and then dropped, is what bothers me. Remember at George's funeral when her dad's hugging that guy and George asks Rube if a friendly hug between two men is supposed to last that long? There's also a tiny bit in the episode "Sunday Mornings" -- a man walks into the restaurant, sees George's friend comforting Clancy, and leaves looking upset. Little things, but I noticed them before I knew of the dropped storyline, and it bugs me that they didn't follow through.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?

I posted more details on SaveWonderfalls, but the Comic-Con is definitely a go. The Wonderfalls screening (of "Lying Pig" and "Cocktail Bunny") is on Sunday, July 25. I still don't have the exact time, but it's shortly after Joss Whedon's thing. The second Knitting Factory screening is still happening, too (there was a bit of trouble with it -- the studio wasn't happy that it was a paid event -- but I think it's worked out now). It's on July 23, and they're showing "Crime Dog" and "Muffin Buffalo." I might be going to both screenings (no definite plans yet), and if I do, I'd love to meet any Buffistas who are going.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Lesson learned. It's better to ask forgiveness than permission.
Check.

You'd think they'd like the publicity, especially with DVDs coming out in December.
Apparently now we're paying $10 to see an unreleased Macy Gray video, and we get to see two Wonderfalls episodes free of charge. This amuses me.

It's the unions. If they are charging admission to the public to see the eps, the unions want a cut. Or something.
That was the excuse I got, anyway.
When Amber Benson was selling Chance, you were getting a free copy of the movie by paying sixty bucks for a signed poster.
That was my final idea for showing at the WGA theatre. A $25 autographed something gets you free admission.
But then we all gave up and Tim went to the Moon.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Wonder how Tim is doing with his mooning?

Just low blood sugar. Ate a Snickers. Thanks for coming.
Looks like Ellen Muth and Callum Blue from DLM are going to be at the San Diego ComicCon too. Wish I could go, sounds like it's going to be awesome.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm listening to Polyphonic Spree's "Have A Day / Celebratory" for the first time in ages. This song was used for the Wonderfalls ad campaign. It's making me all sad and stuff--a beautiful song that held out the promise of a brilliant show to come.
But on the bright side, the brilliance was recognized by some, and also: DVDs!
