[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.

It's interesting, that moment when you pass from pre-migraine into an actual migraine.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm not entirely convinced that David O'Russel couldn't pull it off.

David O. Russell (it's an initial, not a prefix) is always my first choice to direct anything, because he is brilliant. Insane, but brilliant. (I thought I'd mentioned him in my post, but apparently I forgot to write that sentence.)

I don't think it's a collaboration between the writer and director in film.

You left out "script gets rewritten 12 million times by various committees of producers, script doctors, and focus groups."

I think Verhoeven would cast Lindsay Lohan.

Hey. New board.

Elton John is busy writing the music for a Lestat Broadway musical.

The sad thing is, I'm NOT making that up.

Nope, that's all finished. He's completely free.

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

Was it Halle, or Paul Walker?

Oh! Sure! Manny will have a catch phrases of some sort, like, "baby, you launch my rocket," or, "This is how we do it in the Sea of Tranquility, bitch."

Now I'm gonna cry when this isn't in the film.

"This is how we do it in the Sea of Tranquility, bitch."

So Montell Jordan, maybe?

There will also be aliens, who teach an important lesson about tolerance.

Helllooooooo. Chris Carmack.

Allyson -- Paul Walker. My eyes bounced down to Halle, to see if you'd snapped, but it was too late.
