Bwah, did anybody else see Nathan's appearance on FOX News today?
River: I didn't think you'd come for me. Simon: Well, you're a dummy.

[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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'll have to look for it on YouTube. I don't watch Fox News.

Our wings are not tired.
I love Nathan, but not enough to watch Fox News in the morning. Blessing YouTube in advance for saving me the trouble.

There's a bit of sponsorship on IMDB today, then: [link]

Nathan on FOX News was bwah worthy for the fact he managed to spell most of a four letter naughty word.

My local reviewer loved Drive. I was pleased, as she has awesome taste in TV, except for those times when she doesn't like what I like, because I'm clearly correct, of course.

Dude, you think that's bad, check out the New York Times review, which spends the entire time talking about the fact that people drive cars and cars are evil and Tim Minear is a jingoistic bastard who wants people to only buy American.
Didn't see that until later yesterday, and, yeah, I kinda boggled at how TV's Hit DRIVE is apparently a series-length commercial or something.
Can we get NF to say "take the F-150" like they did on ALIAS? That still sets the bar for blatant car-centric product placement in my experience.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, I liked the conversation Jack and Nadia had on Alias about how quiet the hybrid car was. Still surreally amusing, but in a different way.

As long as Wendy isn't drinking coke every 4 minutes I'm cool.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have a hard time choosing between that one and Jack's "OMG the electric motor on this new FORD HYBRID SUV is so quiet! Which is, um, good for spying and stuff. Yeah." [heh - xpost]
24 is pretty blatant about their product placement too, but it's normally restricted to gratuitous shots of their SPRINT TREO SMARTPHONES every time someone has to send a text message back to CTU.
The NYTimes TV reviewers are both pretty crack-addled as a rule, but this review was craxy even by their usual standards. I'm still trying to figure out how she gleaned a "buy American!" message from an hour of television with no shopping in it. Honestly, even if I'd hated the show I'd have no idea what she was talking about.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
There was a review of Drive in yesterday's Washington Post. Tom Shales didn't like it much, which probably means I'll like it a lot.(and honestly? Some of the things he was complaining about sounded like he was looking for things to complain about)
