proggrrlBunch of random stuff I sucked up from thetubes this morning...
Jon Robin Baitz has posted again regarding his being ousted from the creative team of BROTHERS AND SISTERS, and moving back East. Sigh. I'm not so sure my dedication to this lovely matriarchal soap opera can weather any more of his missives. Then again, with only 2 more pre-strike eps left to air, guess it's a moot point.
LOL! Keith Olberman wades into the madness over at DailyKos! (1500 comments. Oy.)
This is completely insane. And probably a viral marketing trick. I don't care. (Also have you seen this? Jesus gods.)
An Obama-Bloomberg ticket? That's an awesome idea..."post-partisan"...I could get behind that.
This MTV video about the music scene in Brooklyn introduces several cool bands, for any of you locals or music fiends out there. As a current (relocated) Manhattan resident who loved and misses the 1990s Lower East Side club scene, I can certainly corroborate that Manhattan is an ugly forsaken shell of its former lively, creative self: rich bitches have pushed everything of worth out to Brooklyn. All that's left here in Manhattan now are wage slaves, rent controlled antiques, and shopping malls. *Is suddenly reconsidering the wisdom of Obama-Bloomberg...*
This is exciting: an unsubstantiated rumor that the Coachella Festival of SoCal might be planning an East Coast event...*joy*
A movie is being made about girls rollerderby. That in and of itself is FTW. But apparently Drew Barrymore will direct...and Ellen (JUNO) Page might star? *glee* ETA: a day later, Variety has confirmed it: Page is in. *more glee*
Scarlett Johansson is releasing an album full of Tom Waits cover songs. Who knew?
MAD MEN, which will be in reruns of its first season again on AMC starting Sunday Jan 20th, is being shopped to the networks as strike fodder to air in reruns in the Big Leagues! Very good news. Hope they don't have to edit it too much.

Nevertheless the strike STILL SUCKS. It pisses me off to no end, that the AMPTP would rather buy up reruns from cable, or indie flix from Sundance, than play nice with the creative community and make a frakking DEAL. Grrrrr
