Aw, come on. Joseph is fun Lloyd Webber! Except maybe for "Close Every Door." It's Biblical history and a show all in one!

[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.

Profit is so so so good.
That is all.
I rarely completely dislike Tim's work...I'm not sure if it's because a) the things that Tim finds interesting when telling a story are the same things I find interesting, b) I like Tim and am, therefore, predisposed towards liking his stuff, or c) I'm a suck up. Maybe it's a combo.
For me, I'm pretty sure it's a, with a bit of d) even when our interests don't coincide the writing is so damn good that I don't care. I can't really verify this on later shows, but I can through Firefly, because I had no idea who Tim was when I first saw him, and only realized later that he was the writer of a good portion of my faves. Also, there are a few of his eps on various shows that I didn't like as well. I liked them, but didn't love them. I figure, anyone who can create eps like OoG or AYNOHYEB can throw out a few average eps without losing too much cred.
Oh, and as I re-read the writer worship that is in this post, I realize that the sucking up thing may have started to come into play with me too. But not until after Firefly.
I have worked out my dreamcast for Moon. I will never work in casting.
My dream director is David Fincher. Spike Jonze is also on the list. After that, Wes Anderson.
Spike Jonze would be awesome. I'm not sure I know who David Fincher is. IMDB time. Wes Anderson - huh. I'm not sure I'd like him on it, actually, though I'm not sure why. I guess it just doesn't strike me as a story that's focused towards the quirks of dysfunctional humans, which is what my brain fastens on for him.
ETA: Oooh. Fight Club, Seven? I'm in on Fincher.
I think the quirks of the dysfunctional humans, when assembled together in just the right order, make the loonie revolution possible. I think Wes Anderson would get the dark humor throughout the story, and the quirks of the characters make them loveable and very familiar. Makes it easy to root for them and believe what they believe. I think.
Thus ends my defense of Anderson as third on my list of dreamdirectors of Moon.
My dream director is David Fincher
Just think of the ten-minute CGI tracking shots through Luna City!
Your defense is good, Allyson. If I heard an announcement of a collaboration between Wes Anderson and Tim, I would no doubt celebrate.
I've watched I ::heart:: Huckabees a bunch lately. I'm not entirely convinced that David O'Russel couldn't pull it off.
Am I crazy?
