Gets itchy.

I want DVDs noooowww..

AICN is having a Wonderfalls dvd contest.

Or is that one of those very faint hopes?

I believe Bryan has been working on a script for one. But I'm not convinced it's a feasible project for the big screen.

I love the show to pieces, but I don't really see how it could be adapted to a film either. Would it be a continuation of the storyline, or more like (Wax Lion + Caged Bird) - time for character development?

"Wax Lion" made thefutoncritic's Best Fifty Episodes of 2004.

27. "wonderfalls: wax lion"
(originally aired march 12, 2004)

The short-lived gem opened with a delightful installment that introduced us to the (pardon the choice of adjectives here) wonderful Caroline Dhavernas and her first exposure to talking inanimate figurines. The DVD (featuring nine - yes nine, folks - unaired episodes) can't get here soon enough.

And since I'm here, it also made Herc's Top Ten Scripted Hourlongs of 2004.

3. Wonderfalls (Fox)
Souvenirs begin telling a cranky, Ivy League-educated slacker retail clerk named Jaye Tyler to do odd things to further mysterious agendas. She reasonably suspects she’s gone insane, but it seems she might be an unwilling tool of higher powers. Jaye is likeably misanthropic, has cynically likeable friends and hails from a family that has produced far more successful individuals than she. It was last season’s best new show, a deep-thinking enterprise that routinely elicited an improbable number of laughs. Fox pulled the plug on the thing, created by comedy genius Bryan Fuller (“Dead Like Me”) and overseen by comedy genius Tim Minear (“Angel,” “Firefly”), in early April after airing only four episodes. Most won’t understand the full impact of the loss until all 13 produced episodes are finally released on DVD Feb. 1.

I would think they'd do "Inanimate objects talk to girl, girl goes a little crazy, girl starts listening, things get better, people start thinking girl is crazy, just when she starts to feel better, then Quentin Travers comes and explains the whole thing to her."

Bryan said it'd most likely be from Aaron's perspective, which could work. I don't think it would do that well on the big screen, but I could see it on TV or DVD. He's so busy with other projects now that I don't know if it's even a possibility anymore. I guess we have to see how DVD sales go (and on that front, I'm pleased that the show was in the top 40 in Amazon.com DVD sales yesterday!).

The new EW (with Clint Eastwood and Hillary Swank on the cover) has The Inside as one of the shows to watch at mid-season. It's a little blurb under "The Best of the Rest" after they profile a couple of other shows in more detail.

Oh! Must buy!

I could have sworn I saw Lee Pace last night on this godawful sitcom "Still Standing", but no, apparently it was just James Patrick Stewart (the friend from "Andy Richter Controls the Universe").

So, actual Minearverse content of this post? None.
