Sheesh. I'm not copying ALL of these things.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

[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

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hulu is NBC Universal and 20th Century Foxes joint venture designed to shut Apple out of the online video market. NBC Universal pulled all it's content off iTunes for it, and Fox will likely follow suit.
Which is interesting, as studios obviously get paid for each iTunes download. It's been reported in the press they get about 50% of the proceeds from each download, which is usually about $2 per episode. If they're happy with streaming media, you have to imagine they're getting at least a dollar per stream per episode -- otherwise they wouldn't go in that direction.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Tim's assistant just dropped off a crate of the masters of everything Tim has written since he started on Angel.
Okay, that made me cry.
Go Team Tim!

Kevin, you obviously don't understand how business works. Business isn't about profit, or even customer satisfaction, business is all about screwing the competition.
It doesn't matter if the studios make good money from the iTunes store, or even if customers like using it, what's most important is that Apple gets shut out of the market.
The same logic is at the root of the HD DVD/Blu-Ray war, and ultimately, it's why there is a writers strike. Those pesky writers need to be put in their place.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
Tom speaks for me re: Hulu. It's not a business model, it's a pissing match.

Oh, I do think it's a business model. But (surprisingly, actually) they're thinking long term. Don't matter if they make less money now on online streaming. It's about regaining control of the distribution channels so that they can screw the people later with their monopoly.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
BTW, I have leftover bags, if anyone (anywhere) wants to do another drop-off.
