I'll be livin' on the edge from here 'til November

I had some time between my anthro section and my film theory class, so I hied on over the polling station. The Hillary Fanclub was out in full force, but it was raining so hard that they were using their banners and signs as a little awning. I felt like going over and offering my umbrella.

Everyday I'm more and more inspired for this political porn stuff. The Kerry campaign office in Palo Alto had two sides, the sign-making side and the phone-banking side. The sign-making side was often left empty, because there are only so many signs that you can put together (A PAINFUL UNDERTAKING LET ME ASSURE YOU), and I'm just imagining all of these Jensen ackles signs spread out over the floor and Jared fucking Jensen right on top of them! Brilliant!

Sigh, I really should be thinking about soviet film-makers.

HOMYGOD

All of you Dark Angel fans, do you remember Charles H. Eglee? The other series creator of Dark Angel? He's lecturing to my modes of production class! Like right now! I'm actually not reading porn in the class, for once. All I want to do is pepper him with questions like WHERE DID YOU ANTICIPATE DARK ANGEL GOING? WHAT HAPPENED TO LYDECKER? And also, what was Jensen Ackles like on set?



ETA: He's talking about working on The Shield and he's like, "When the shield wants drug addicts, they get drug addicts, none of this casting drug addicts."

ETA2: OHMYGOD! Dark Angel was cancelled, according to him, because the head of the Network thought it was too black and not because of ratings! He wanted Max and Alec to get together, which was not Eglee's or Cameron's intent, and he wanted it to be a MoTW show like Buffy!

AAAAAAAAAAAH

ETA3: This seems to be a source of confusion, so, to clarify, by black Eglee meant African-American. Yes, the network exec really was that heinous.
