The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[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.

What is even happening?

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."

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 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?

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!).

Another social casualty...

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.

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

Oh! Must buy!

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my god, that's the little British kid from Galactica 1980.

OK, I got something:

I believe he said "line marriages".

Not having read the book since 8th grade, what the hell is line marriages again?

Who replaced Robbie Rist, the John Denver lookalike who went on to great fame as the original Cousin Oliver.

Heh.

Okay, back to Minearia.

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

Who replaced Robbie Rist, the John Denver lookalike who went on to great fame as the original Cousin Oliver.

Robbie Rist, incidentally, went on to became a very well respected musician on the LA scene.

Yes, that's why I linked to his website. It has lots of his adult work on there. The second site is just for cheesey fun.
