Does Harlan Ellison like anyone?
The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[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. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!
Didn't Harlan Ellison used to be good at rage essays? Cause I couldn't tell what the fuck he was talking about. He could be 100% right for all I know; but there was nothing in what he wrote that would have told me that. I don't mean that he was unconvincing. I mean he did not tell me what to be convinced or unconvinced about, other than the fact that he is really pissed at the WGA leadership and the deal Is Really Bad.
Harlan Ellison is pissed? Alert the media.
Does Harlan Ellison like anyone?
He totally liked me.
Yeah, but again normally you can tell what Harlan is pissed at. And really he is fairly selective about what makes him angry. It is just that usually when he is mad he is really good about telling you all about it. This last link NSM.
I thought he made it pretty clear. He's pissed at the 17 day window. He's pissed at the dropping of animation and reality. But he's really pissed that after months of striking for a fair deal, he feels the writers got NSM. And I agree that the deal is not "fair", but I also admit, were I a writer, it is probably what I would accept.
Joel Surnow recently announced that he's leaving 24. TWoP takes a look at what the show could become if certain other well known showrunners were brought on board.
No Tim? For shame.
I'm stealing your link for my LJ...
The Dick Wolf one made me spit take.
I would so watch the Joss Whedon one, based on casting alone.
