We could call it Neener.
Now we have to do it just for the name.
And Kaylee, what the hell's goin' on in the engine room? Were there monkeys? Some terrifying space monkeys maybe got loose?

[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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
New York Times, excellent article on Drive: [link]
For all of the high-technology effects going into “Drive,” there can be some rather low-tech moments, as when seven men spent much of two hours pushing two cars around the set, trying to perfect the effect of one car pulling up next to another so the passengers could look at each other across the road.
In one scene, four men pushed a Ford Taurus roughly 50 feet, up next to a Land Rover, which was then pushed back the same distance by a group of three men. They did this for 19 takes before Mr. Yaitanes got the look he wanted.
The things people do for my entertainment. I loves them.
There's also an interview with Riley Smith in his local paper - [link]
They have a review of the Drive pilot, which they don't seem to understand the first hour of the two hour first night. It contains plot spoilers which are best avoided. Review here: [link]
They had mixed reactions, but overall I liked this:
"Drive" is like a Keanu Reeves action film, complete with snarky one-liners and a sense of purpose.
The cast is pretty deep, too. Faces you'll recognize (including Charles Martin Smith, one of the kids from "American Graffiti") pop up behind the wheels or in front of them.
There's a sense of danger, as well, that makes you wonder just how long anyone is going to be around.

Riley's from Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Sioux City is 4 hours away, on the other side of the state.

Localish paper, then.

Not really.
Riley's hometown newspaper would be the Cedar Rapids Gazette, and in between that and the Sioux City Journal there's also the big daddy of 'em all, The Des Moines Register.
Frankly, I'm surprised the Journal ran the profile of Riley in an age in which more newspapers are focusing on local and zoned news. Sioux City and Cedar Rapids are a world apart -- they might as well be in different time zones. I'm taking it as a good sign of the interest in TV's hit Drive.

Aye, the more coverage the better.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

IPS Driver Error is a very familiar error message (I use the same forum software as them, I feel their pain).
