[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, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

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

ita, that is hilarious. Thank you.
Also, for any aspiring tv writer types, it seems that NBC is doing a new writers outreach program this year. (I'm assuming it's new since this is the first time I've heard of it.) It seems to be a bit like the Warner Bros. Workshop.
The deadline is November 17. More info here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I saw a very little bit of the Guiding Light thing. My reactions were "Huh," and "Wow, she's got good abs."

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Dana, that's my emotional range when watching Lost. Well, I also sometimes have "Man, I'm hungry", too.

What is even happening?
My six year old is playing basketball right now, which is the first break he's taken all day from storyboarding his two films.
One animated. One live action.
I don't think he knows he's storyboarding -- that is, I don't think he knows the term. But he started to talk about his films (which originally, was just one film, but he had two ideas, so decided to make it two), and then decided he needed to plan them, and so he took most of the paper out of my printer, and drew pages of his scenes, and his three "chapters." I told him that in filmmaking, they sometimes call them "acts," but he likes "chapters" better, and...erm...to sum...
Unca Tim, can I crate him?

Trust my rage
Cindy, that's so cute/wonderful/creative! I love it when little kids have big ideas.

What is even happening?
Thank you, Stephanie. It is. I just think it's so weird that he's storyboarding stuff. And he has a list of scenes to shoot, too. They're almost like sides. And he's thinking this all up on his own.
They made Superman films this summer. Chris was always Superman. Ben was always the villain (Super Geek, with his shorts pulled up to his ribs, and various other geek airs). Julia was Lois Lane (although sometimes, her Lois Lane dressed like a princess or ballerina). That's the only experience he's ever had with film making. It's not like he's watched or read anything about it.

He was starting to sound like Dawson until the last sentence, Cindy.
I remember as a kid that age, I would break down computer software program design. A few years later I had added (effectively) business plans to the mix. My parents really didn't know what to do.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cindy, that doesn't surprise me about him, at all. I would LOVE to see his films on YouTube.

Cindy, better start saving for film school.
In unrelated news, I'm watching Blade (the original) on TV right now. And, you know, I knew Sticky Fingaz was bad in the series but I don't think I realized just how truly awful he was until this moment.
