Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I recorded my TAL submission at Drew's tonight. I feel like a rock stah.
And then I came home to the oddest email. Some person I don't know asked me to read his movie script because I am "on speaking terms with Tim Minear."
I have no idea how, or if I should respond to that. I'm caught between the rudeness of that, and the weirdness of that.

YOU ROCK!

This person does not.
Hey! You're on speaking terms with Tim Minear! Ima tell him to email you.
Sure!!
So what if I've never met him, and now he probably thinks all I do is play FCM. I'm sure he would love to read any script I give him!
Hmm. Looks like the 1947 Project is retracting their request for votes for the Gridskipper competition.
Huh. So at almost any other airport, it wouldn't have been this bad.
Yup. Midway is part of the grid, just a five block square with the runways running diagonally from corner to corner in the square. There are intersections at each corner. There's almost no room for error. All things considered, it's amazing there are so few incidents like this one there.
From IMDB:
Memoirs Of A Geisha director Rob Marshall has defended his decision to cast Chinese actors in place of Japanese ones - insisting they were employed for their talent, not where they come from. The American film-maker spoke out after being chastised by Chinese critics for appointing Chinese actresses Ziyi Zhang and Gong Li to play major roles in the adaptation of Arthur Golden's popular novel. The critics insist Marshall's choice is insensitive because of the atrocities committed by the Japanese during their 1930s Chinese occupation. Marshall says, "When you saw Zorba The Greek, and you saw Anthony Quinn play Zorba, was that odd to you because he was Irish and Mexican?" Gong Li, who plays top geisha Hatsumo in the film, defended her position, insisting her decision to star in the film was based purely on character, not race. She says, "As actors, we seek roles that challenge and inspire us."
Weren't these guys just congratulating themselves for an all-Asian cast? He needs to check his talking points.
Any word on why Jake Gyllenhaal backed out of TDS last night? Doesn't have some plugging to do for the Big Gay Cowboy Movie?
They so should have booked Heath Ledger instead.
Well, I'm working from home this morning, because there's a giant crapload of snow outside.
Not that I have a problem with this. At least, not a huge problem -- just a vague sense of guilt because the only thing I can do from here is read e-mail and look things up.
Now I wait for the plow.
