What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Closed Film and TV threads

[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.

What is even happening?

jengod, you're so deserving of your board name.

You're special. The rest of us are jaded, bitter, and tapped out (of outrage). Well, except for the guy who has apparently decided that "un-canceling" the show is a workable goal.

Well, I'm too tapped out (of everything) to ever campaign for anything, ever again. But as God is my witness, I'll never be too tapped out to piss and moan.

The funniest comment I've seen came from someone wanting to get all the Sanjaya voters from AI to go and sign one of the petitions.

Nicotine. On my monitor.

You know what's mean? The local affiliate still aired scheduling panels/frames/whatever from Comcast that listed Drive coming up at 8. Followed by the network's saying Nope SUCKERS.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Tim's interview is about 24 minutes in. It was conducted pre air.

Heh. I'm getting "Wait, hold up, where's the show?" messages at DtR, which I haven't had time to update until now.

Poor people who had to find out the hard way via the 1,000th airing of House this week.

Yep, my inbox is full of them too Monique.

The latest one;

my wife and i loved thid show whey is i ceing canaeled???

Bless their hearts.

Tim's podcast thing is quite entertaining. I didn't realise one of The Inside characters came from something else Tim was developing.

Stop making fun of me, Denise.
Nicotine. On my monitor.

I thought it was sort of cleverly funny at first. Until I realized that Kristen was serious...

And, from the stolen from elsewhere files:

Ratings are based on 5 minutes of staying on the same channel. so if you change the channel on a commercial and turn right back onto fox, each person that does that will give them 4 rating points per person. hence, if 1 million people watch the show and change the channel back and forth on commercials, thats 4 million ratings.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I hope people really do send spark plugs to Fox, as was suggested.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Spark plugs? Really?

I didn't have time to get emotionally invested in Drive. I'm sorry to see it go for a lot of reasons: Tim, Kristen, Nathan. I think it could have been good, even great, tv.

Successful series are formed by an alchemy I canna ken.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

I find I have a bottomless well of outrage.

Me too. I get myself locked into an "outrage begets outrage" sort or circuit, which is surely going to be to being a whiskey-swilling, gun-toting bitter old man some day. I can hardly wait.

jengod, you're so deserving of your board name.

Ah, jengod, how I've missed you. We need to see you at more than weddings and funerals, you know?

Zenkitty - Apr 30, 2007 7:21:21 pm PDT #6527 of 10001
Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have free-floating outrage. It lands on whatever's outrageous at the moment.
