[Talking Points Memo] Reader MN points out that Dick Cheney now joins Aaron Burr as one of the two vice presidents to shoot someone while in office.
Yesterday, Comcast's headline for that story on their homepage was "Cheney Accidentally Shoots Lawyer" which was a very WTF moment for me when I saw it. It made me click the link to read the story, so I guess it could be considered successful.
I like to think of it as "Magnolia" on wheels with a dash of "North by Northwest"...
I am officially excited about Tim's new pilot.
So the official logline is:
A dramatic series set against an illegal cross-country road race and its players and origins.
Wasn't that a movie in the 70s?
hmph. I like melodramatic description that is meant to be read by that guy with the gravelly voice who always narrates movie previews.
But then, of course I would.
A dramatic series set against an illegal cross-country road race and its players and origins.
So it's Magnolia meets North by Northwest meets Death Race 2000?
Wasn't that a movie in the 70s?
I'm telling you, it's Cannonball Run. Burt Reynolds, Dom Deluise and wacky highjinks.
See, I think it's part Amazing Race, part North by Northwest, and part Cannonball Run.
It sounds like Cannonball Run wasn't far off. Although, I would imagine this might be a little bit darker. Maybe.
Of course, xposty goodness. Oh, well.
