[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.
Had I printed the interview to read on my subway ride home I might have been annoyed, but since I read it at work the length was just about right. So I had a nice little break plus another installment to look forward to.
Which episode was "Everything Nice"? Just checked imdb: it was the one with the wee psycho, Yvette from Wonderfalls, the DA from Homicide, & Katie in the treehouse. I liked that one.
I'm sure this is off topic but John Rogers linked my blog! How cool is that?
Very awesomely cool!!
Here's a stupid question. Who is John Rogers?
He's the guy who executive produced Global Frequency (based on a Warren Ellis comic and starring Michelle Forbes). His blog has been circulating in screenwriting class circles for a while now (it's where I found it), and the GF pilot was leaked onto the web and got him an assload of attention.
And a college friend, but I suppose that has nothing to do with his popularity.
And he's writing the Transformers movie!
That bit I don't get. But it sure beats Catwoman and The Core.
Cool. Thanks for the info.
Ah, so he's the friend you were looking askance at for the projects he'd worked on.
I judged him, I admit, and then I recanted.
Speaking of Global Frequency (weren't we), who, having watched the show or read the comic felt that the Frequency was something any of us could be a part of? John has said as much in interview, but I thought it was an elite panel of specialists, and as unattainable as being Jack Bauer or a Bristow.
