Tim has a birthday, right?
Not hardly! He was raised by a pack of feral beagles, then left in a box in front of a television all day.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Crate. Definitely a crate.

Seeing as a ton of Whedonesque and buffista humans are here, welcome. I'd just like to chime in on THE INSIDE and say Tim Minear did a hell of a job. I look forward immensely to the rest of the run.
In the comments:
Oddly, it was everything that wasn't Silence of the Lambs that made me dig it.
And this is probably a subtle industry foible, but I watch a thousand pilots, and Minear directed the shit out of that thing.

I finally watched it last night, and the lighting was amazing. Perhaps it also contributed to why I had trouble sleeping.

Yeah, I think Tim's an excellent director. Always very conscious of visual storytelling. He's a writer who thinks like a director! He's a dessert topping and a floor wax!

Ending of "Lullaby"? Still kicks fucking ass.

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
Huh. I think it's so interesting that Warren Ellis is all, "I'm not going to be involved in any grassroots movement to save GF."
That's kinda neat.

That is reason #924 why I like him.
Did you see his comments on The Inside?

Yes! I did. And, um, how do YOU feel about The Inside?
I totally love this guy. What a magnificently lovely bastard!
I laughed until it hurt.
