Law and what I've been thinking

[rivkat]

1. The Middleman wins my heart all over again: creator Javier Grillo-Marxuach says “we wanted the show to pass the Bechdel test.” In some sense it’s a low standard, but! He knows there’s a test! And the show passed it! Also, for those of us who can’t wait for the graphic novelization of the unfilmed thirteenth episode, the full cast did a table read at Comic-Con. The sound is not great, which means you miss some of the snappy dialogue, but most of it is present—and it is really hilarious to hear most of the actors get their lines right on the first try despite the high preposterousness quotient.

2. A haiku about student editing:

Change is a constant
But my contractions stay in.
That’s what tenure’s for.

thanks so much for the link! I've been meaning to look for the table read on youtube all day.

Of course he knows. He understands and cares about our various values. *cries a middletear for what could should have been, then runs off to watch YouTube*

Woot! Thank you SO MUCH for the Middleman links! I'd been praying that the table read ended up on YT. \o/
