If I only had a brain...

Marti Noxon gives an interview mostly about Point Pleasant in the New York Times. (http://www.bugmenot.com for password.)

Q. "Point Pleasant" is scheduled to run opposite "CSI" on Thursday nights at 9 Eastern time. Yikes?

A. Yeah. I wish we had the magical, golden time slot of success. But the question is whether you want to be in Siberia, or whether you want to be on one of those nights when people are actually flipping around checking stuff out. I hope it means that they'll let us stay on for a while knowing we're not going to do huge, splashy numbers right away. That's how I tell myself it will be all right.

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

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

New Yorkers: for those who didn't see Allyson's post (thanks!) in Minearverse, the Museum of Television and Radio is having a marathon screening of all 13 Wonderfalls episodes at 12:30 on January 29 and 30 (Saturday & Sunday).

NYistas & Minneapolistas (or whatever the proper term is): theater lovers should check out Artspot Productions' Obie Award-winning Nita and Zita, playing this coming weekend in Minneapolis & the following two weeks in New York. They'll be a long way from their home in New Orleans & would appreciate the support.
