What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Howard Gordon did a "Why We Write" essay.

Why? It didn't seem unreasonable. The reaction to it was. And transparent.

I'm not saying it was unreasonable. I understand what they were going for but it was edited down so much that the final product felt a little desperate to me. And, hey, I'm not saying we're not desperate. I'm just saying, let's not wear our desperation on our sleeves, folks. It's unattractive. Slap on some lip gloss and a pair of cute shoes and fake your way through it.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

According to the BBC, Fox and Apple are going to announce an iTunes deal which will put Fox's films on iTunes for rental. The article doesn't say it, but I've heard the content will be streamed down, which I presume means writers won't need to be paid. Although maybe I'm too pessimistic with these things.

It's interesting because a lot of studios are complaining about Apple, so I'm surprised Fox are staying in bed with them.

In other StrikeWank news, Rob Thomas was asked by TV Guide about the potential Veronica Mars comic:

“I had a second meeting with DC comics. I heard that the [WGA] didn’t want [TV writers penning TV-based] comic books during the strike as it would promote a network property. We’re investigating whether there are similar hurdles for a defunct TV series like Veronica Mars. Naturally, I won’t be writing it if the Guild doesn’t want me to, but we’re hoping that’s not the case.”

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Someone should start a website. StrikeWank.com

It would certainly be more interesting than reading the entires and comments at unitedhollywood and deadlinehollywood. And a hell of a lot less depressing.

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 thought unitedhollywood was strikewank. Can't we buy the URL and just point it there?

Speaking of wank, those Speechless videos are the most inane crap EVAH.

I got halfway through the videos. The one with Eva Longoria and Nicolette Sheridan made me want to hurt someone.

And I LIKE Desperate Housewives.
