Faith ,'Get It Done'
[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!
*sniff* I was watching an old episode of Sons of Anarchy recorded last season. There was an ad for Terriers and for a split second, I got excited. And then I remembered that I'd recorded this in December.
I knew that you all would appreciate my pain.
Can I herd Buffistas? CAN I? I can surely try.
Yeah, and you have to tell us what hashtag to use!
Is there some stupid random holiday coming up that we could pretend we're celebrating, that people would think was funny and retweet?
Just want to add that commentary track should totally be done for iTunes and also non-dvd'd shows should find their way to netflix on demand. Still haven't seen Terriers, but I support you in email.
Also also, would the writers and actors be allowed to do commentary via YouTube? Like a 10 min discussion for each ep?
TV Executives Are Stupid Day?
TEASD. That's accurate.
I think #TerriersDVD is good, since it filters out the dog traffic.
I'm thinking of sending the following questions to the actors/producers:
1. Pitch it to me like I have power: Why should Fox Home Entertainment produce Terriers DVD Box sets?
2. Pretend you're recording a commentary track for your favorite scene in Terriers...what scene are we watching?
3a (for actors): When you read the pilot, what was the most compelling quality about your character? Would you hang out with your character? What drives you bananas about how your character thinks?
3b (for writers): No matter what sort of horrible decisions Britt and Hank make, they're always our heroes, and we're always rooting for them to be okay. How did you do that? Also, would you hang out with these guys? Would you lend them money?
4. Left or Straight?
Ethan Alter is so much better at this.
That sounds great, actually. And you're totally fine at it, but I bet if you wanted, you could talk to Ethan Alter about it.
You know, I know his wife.
Kristen brought up a good point: Hank and Britt and so completely ordinary...how did the writers make them so compelling? I mean, they have fairly ordinary lives (and ordinary is messy), but they're so beautiful to watch. I think about Jaye in Wonderfalls. Something extraordinary is happening to her, but she's otherwise leading a completely ordinary life, and she's still compelling. Even if you take out the talking monkey, Jaye is so watchable. How they do that?
