I had a whole section about civic pride.

[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.

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'm sorry, my head is exploding.

What is even happening?

No, there's the fun.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ah, fuck.

Talks Day #3 'Stalemated':

There's little more to say about Wednesday's talks other than that, unfortunately. "This is not heading in the right direction," a mogul quoted his labor exec as saying to him yesterday. Another source told me, "It's stalemated. Nothing's getting achieved."

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Let's remember that it is mostly rumor. I hear rumors too and they are different. People talking in the halls doesn't mean much.

On a lighter note, The Strike, Your Marriage, and You. Very amusing.

This. Also, regardless of how Day Three went, they all came back this morning for Day Four.

Nikki Finke just put up an "ADVISORY: Breaking Talks News" at 10 AM. So there may be some actual news (good or bad) in...oh...say...six hours.

Great. Now I get to refresh that page every five minutes while pretending to work.

Nikki updated. It's not any real news. Just rumors about maybe what is supposed to happen at today's meeting.

In other industry news, I just received a package from Warner Bros. containing a flash drive with four screenplays on it for my consideration. It's a pretty nifty idea.

Saves on postage! So do you get to make Oscar nominations? Neat.
