TV Executives Are Stupid Day?
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

[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!

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
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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
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.

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?

I mean, it's not really a show about a case that needs solving, it's a show about the people who solve cases. Sometimes I wanted the cases to get the fuck out of the way.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

They are so completely, gorgeously, tragically human.

Do you expect an answer to that, though? I feel like "How did you do that?" is awfully close to asking "Where do you get your ideas?"
Anyway....It might be worth noting that the videos that were made for the FX production blog are still on YouTube. [link]

Yeah.
I'm trying to think of the questions I enjoy answering. With Sam, it's always, "why bats?" And can I talk up a storm about "why bats."

HEY STREGA. THINK OF A BETTER QUESTION.
