this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

The 2-minute preview of the 10-minute Batman Begins clip led my co-worker to say, "So, it's Episode 1 all over again?"

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

"Ginormous" tops list of Top Ten Worlds Not in the Dictionary

I purposefully peppered my LiTG entries with words on the lexical bubble like "ginormous" because I knew erinaceous could use the cites.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Bwuh?

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

Bwuh?

I bet it's the training sequences.

What is even happening?

I'm so disappointed to learn about Joan of Arcadia. They went from 10 million viewers the first season to 8 million in the second. From what I read this morning, pre-announcement, on any other network, their chances probably would have been solid. ABC's report in the wake of the CBS upfronts says Moonves reportedly said he wants it all.

I'm not angry, the way I was when Wonderfalls was canceled. And really? Firefly disabused me of the notion that quality would out. I'm too old and jaded to expect a rescue from another network. But darn, I am disappointed. The second season was not quite as well done as the first, but I never once felt like I'd wasted an hour. I can't say that for many shows, not even Angel.

I will satisfy myself by thinking that Amber Tamblyn is going to have a much better movie career than JLH could ever hope for.
God willing. :)

Kelsey Grammer in X3? Ugh. and the possibility of no Hugh Jackman is sad making.

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

Making the point that ratings aren't everything in today's ad market, today's (Tuesday) Wall Street Journal observes that NBC at its upfront presentation to advertisers this week decided to keep The Office but yank Committed, which drew higher ratings this past season. The reason, according to the network, is that The Office draws a higher percentage of wealthy viewers than Committed. The Office, NBC Entertainment President Kevin Reilly told the newspaper, "was the most upscale comedy on any network this season. ... That's the type of product we want on our network." In its report, the Journal concluded, "What viewers with higher incomes watch on TV is becoming more important to the broadcast networks as they try to set themselves apart from the pack and sell their fall schedules to advertisers." However, the newspaper also quoted ad buyer exec Laura Caraccioli-Davis of Starcom Entertainment as saying, "Overall television is not a very upscale marketplace. ... The pool of TV advertisers seeking narrow, wealthy audiences is comparatively small."

It seemed a bit on topic.

Now I really want notepaper with an i punched out of the very top. Jesse has made me obsesse.

I wandered over to a well known pop culture board, to see what fans were saying about JoA being canned. I return with an example of why I post here:

Even if in September, the show is failing, I cant even blame CBS because I know that the dramatic fall in quality would not me want the show to stay - if it was Early Season 1, HELL YEH, but after the subsequent character assassinations and terrible plottings. It just the way it is.
