For his current project, Drive, he said he had to go shopping with an actress for women’s lingerie at Sack’s 5th Ave and stay on the phone throughout because some execs had some very definite ideas about what the lingerie should be like.

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
Saks. As in, not a bunch of skin containing balls.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Actually, those would be sacs.

The shop is called Saks, Dana. The above link is the showrunning panel from Worldcon, by the way.
Also, I often wonder is being a TV exec is worse than being a parking attendant. Everybody hates you. I reckon they wear Darth Vader masks in the office.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think she was talking testicles--but you spelt it Sack's in your post.

Now tagless for your comfort.
You mean the television/shopping/testicles cross posts, or just in general?

I'm so glad I don't have balls.
Two things. (heh)
If I don't hear back from my editor today, I might just verily go completely insane.
If Drive isn't picked up today, I might just go verily insane.
C'mon. It's Monday. Let's get crackin' peeps!
Balls and cracks in one post. So sorry for bringing down the classiness of the thread.

It's not that I'm the only one, it's that I'm the honest one.

I second that motion.
The long wait for a pick-up is beginning to feel like the Spike movie all over again - of course Drive has the advantage of being five times more likely.

Is this a scheduled thing that will be decided today, and, if so, what time abouts should I send show-ma westward?
