'Potential'
[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.
So far, I have been told by these elevated talents that 1) Alan Moore could hide me in his beard 2) it's a bit like haiku 3) Al Pacino was really bad in GODFATHER III.
Hmm. Match the helpful writer [a) Joss Whedon, b} John Rogers c) Tim Minear] to the writing tip.
I'm guessing 1b, 2c and 3a.
I'm too scared of Warren Ellis to want to kiss him.
But he does make me grin an awful lot.
I'm going with 1b, 2a, and 3c.
Warren Ellis doesn't scare me. He makes me want to bake him a pie. I have no idea why.
I thought the haiku line sounded Minearish, too. Dunno about the others.
3) Al Pacino was really bad in GODFATHER III.
Who noticed Pacino? I was too distracted by Sophia Coppola chewing on the freaking scenery.
ETA: I thought the haiku thing sounded like Joss but it might just be flashbacks to the Bronze.
Apparently, I need to learn more about this fabled Warren Ellis.
Given this [link] I'm guessing 1a.
I matched Joss to Haiku; Tim to beard; Rogers to Pacino, by default, although Joss could have said the beard thing. I just couldn't hear anyone else saying the haiku thing.
From the slayage conference link up stream:
Draft Program (very drafty)That made me all swoony.
Apparently, I need to learn more about this fabled Warren Ellis.The most important thing to know about Ellis is that when he posts a link and says "Don't look," you should not look.
And while looking for something else, I just stumbled upon Rogers saying, "Really, you've got 48 minutes. 6 two-minute scenes an act. TV isn't haiku, but it's damn close." So after I suspect it's just 1)a 2)b 3)c after all.
I have a migraine again. Is the blame-Tim clause still in effect?
