[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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did anyone else think that Peter Coyote looks like P.J. O'Rourke whilst watching The Inside? Really uncanny resemblance. But to actually add something mentionful to this convo, Brian Cox's Lecktor would have fitted well into the world of The Inside.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Was the final death Gwyneth's? The head in the box, right? How did it not follow the pattern?
It didn't because it wasn't his established pattern. Up until then, he had been punishing the "sinners" directly, not hurting someone else to get to them. Didn't work for me. I couldn't buy that he'd kill an innocent person.
I thought both the way Rebecca was written and the way she was acted were spot on, for someone with that kind of history.
With regards to The Inside and Saw - I don't see how these differ much in terms of reality. They're both pretty similar settings in many ways. Saw (the first one) is pretty emotionally fucked up.
I really shouldn't have used Saw (or Turistas) as an example, because I've haven't seen more than a few minutes of it. I couldn't think of another example, though. Sorry. I don't know why I like The Inside. I just do.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Oh, don't get me wrong - I really liked The Inside, Zenkitty. Had it not been a Minear show (a hook, as it were) I don't think it would have been on my weekly to watch list, is all. Oddly, though - I think it would have been the kind of thing I'd pick up on DVD.

I quite liked Rebecca. That's why I found Paul so infuriating.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Paul also liked Rebecca! You had a common interest.

Hey. New board.
I loved Rebecca. Paul was annoying. Web was awesome. The Inside owned me.

Paul thought she was a project. Not a person.

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
I see that a lot.

Sadly, some of my friends married people who saw them as fixer-upper opportunities like that.
