The reality is there hasn't been a successful racing drama series for a long time.

[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.

DH kept making Cannonball Run jokes about Drive until I made him stop.

Shaun of the Dead was a low budget film, though. Fully agree it did well, but would have struggled not to have. Compare "Hot Fuzz" to "Shaun of the Dead" (same actors, writers, directors) -- "Hot Fuzz" took more in it's first 3 days than "Shaun of the Dead" took in it's entire release. In the UK, "Hot Fuzz" made more than Serenity did on it's entire worldwide release. The only thing different about the two films is the setting and genre, really.
I got a bit shirty with my boss earlier for no reason other than I'd just read the Drive news. So I best go home.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Shit.

Or, as I just spent the last few minutes saying to somebody: fuck.
I'm really worried about the dancing show tonight. Somebody needs to set actual monkeys loose in the studio whilst it's on.

edited to add: And I bet Phil has also wished that at times.
Would that he'd given in to the impulse as Rob & Amber showed up.

I'm very curious to see how it'll do in the States (opens Friday! squee!), since we didn't get Spaced here until well after Shaun became a cult hit on DVD. (And even then only on BBCA, which is in very few homes due to being a digital-only channel.)

We're all fate's bitch. You might as well go ahead and bend over for destiny now.
It's a marathon, not a sprint. We'll do better tonight.
