Fred ,'A Hole in the World'
[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.
In MediaWeek, FOX's VP of Programming talks about Drive's scheduling: "Our hope is that it’s the kind of show, like 24 and Prison Break, that if you get people deep into it fast, you’ll hook them quicker than doing it one hour at a time".
Ironic in light of the fact that they only sent the first hour of the (three-hour) pilot out to the press. Gotta love that amazing inter-departmental communication going on at Fox!
They're going to hook the critics one hour at a time. The general public gets special treatment!
Aye.
To promote its upcoming road-race/road-rage drama “Drive,” Fox will be offering free gasoline this Thursday from 9-11 a.m. at the station at 10389 Santa Monica Blvd. (corner of Beverly Glen) in Century City. And to demonstrate just how desperate actors can be to keep their jobs, cast members Nathan Fillion, Kristin Lehman, Taryn Manning, Kevin Alejandro, Dylan Baker and Emma Stone will be on hand to squeegee your windshields.

Nevermind.
Nevermind II: The Edit Strikes Back.
That's just...bizarre. But cool?
Assuming it's not a joke -- I wouldn't have thought it is -- it's quite cool. Although you just know there's going to be several hundred Firefly fans blocking the road for a few hours (which, if it happened, would be publicity of some sort I'd imagine).
"OMG! Nathan Fillion! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...gee."
That's like two days before I arrive in LA. I'm gonna miss out on the crazy.
I'm sure there will be photos. And videos. Or Vlogs, or whatever they're called.
