[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"I wanted something that felt like a car a regular guy would drive," Minear says. The fact that the Taurus is no longer in production was an added touch. "John is a rocket scientist and looks to the future, but he's a little stuck in the past."
The Taurus is going back into production. Actually, Ford is taking the totally new 500 sedan and renaming it the Taurus, as sales of the 500 have been disappointing. I read an article a few weeks ago that stated that even though the name "Taurus" has a more negative than positive association these days, the fact that as a name it's much more well-known than "500" means the name is a valuable asset to Ford.
I disagree. 500 sales sucked because the car looked so boring. (They're gonna spruce it up for the new model year.) But then I'm not a marketing guy....

Estimates until The Cars and Physics of TV's hit Drive is available in a bookstore near you?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
500 sales sucked because the car looked so boring.
So it'll fit right into the Taurus tradition, then.

I'm hoping the score on the Yahoo Drive thing is temporary, as it's pretty, uhm, rubbish to me at least.

What is even happening?
Thanks to jengod, E's Kristin has a pimptastic Drive piece up, here: [link]
Dear Second Coming,
I want to read the letter referred to in her fifth of sixth reasons to watch Drive.
5. The Producer: Folks, isn't it about time we gave Tim Minear the hit show he so rightly deserves? He wrote many of Angel's greatest episodes, he executive produced Wonderfalls and Firefly, and he's generally considered to be the second coming of Joss Whedon. He also sent out just about the funniest show-promo letter to the press ever, which makes me heart him all the more.
