Hey, Carter's on the Traffic miniseries on USA.
Musta been filmed in Canada.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Boxed Set, Vol. 1: Smallville, Due South, Farscape
A topic for the discussion of Farscape, Smallville, and Due South. Beware possible invasions of Stargate, Highlander, or pretty much anything else that captures our fancy. Expect Adult Content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

De Niro is off?
Hmm, I always heard he was more just plain inarticulate off-screen, rather than not smart. There is a difference, and it seems to happen with actors a lot.

It's a remora, dimwit.
This makes me wonder, have there been any actors/actresses who are not known to be the brightest bulbs on the shelf yet can consistently do "intelligent" convincingly on screen?
Alex Kingston.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Wow. Alex Kingston? Her characters have always come across as fiercely intelligent to me, the kind of quality I associate with actresses like Judy Davis and Catherine Keener. That's a bit of a shock.

Actually, ita, I've seen some interviews with Welling lately that have made me rethink him. When he's at ease, he's a pretty charming guy. I had no idea.
Mind you, I don't have the raging love-on for him like I do Rosenbaum the sexy cocksickle, but I would like to hug him and pet him and call him Tommy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The couple TW interviews I've seen made me think "Huh. Pretty." Maybe it's the really lousy acting that's blocking me.

Evidently a lot of her prior roles have just been a result of past boyfriends and friends suggesting them - she's said that she's happier doing something like ER where she doesn't have to do so much background work.

Well, I have the advantage of not being able to watch Smallville in real-time, since I don't get the WB. It's easier to forgive the lousy acting.
Plus, I have season 1 Smallville DVDs, and am drowning in the HoYay. So. Very. Gay.

Art Crawl!!!
How is it that in the UK the Spooks/MI-5 folks got away without having any credits at all?
I mean -- don't the British versions of SAG, DGA, etc frown upon that?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
Sorry to break in. X-Post from Firefly and The Great Write Way...
The editor of the local paper tracked me down via local academia*. She wants an article on the fan effect on TV-On-DVD, and the effect this revenue stream might have on the creative effort. I've read the Cassutt piece. I'm not sure how a background in chemical engineering helps me, here, but I'm thinking of assailing the piece.
In pursuit of this, I'm soliciting the best numbers available for budgets of shows (google helps not). Also, any anecdote of how fans have influenced the production of series DVDs, and how series DVDs might have influenced the production of … anything, in any medium, would be handy. (Profile addy good.)
* She was looking for an "adult fan" of a TV show. My name came up, pretty quickly.
Thanks (Again, for the interuption, sorry.)
