- Screenwriter J D Shapiro apologises for Battlefield Earth.
(Fedora-tip: WGGB Blog.)
- This. Is. SHATNER!
(Fedora-tip: Alex Epstein.)
- Homicide: Life on the Street and The Wire scribe and producer, David Mills died suddenly last week. I didn’t know – I should’ve, really, but I didn’t know – that he was the one who penned the Homicide “Bop Gun” ep (the one with Robin Williams and a teenage Jake Gyllenhaal). This forty-plus minutes of free-to-air television truly opened my eyes to just how much more you could put into a police procedural.
His and David Simon‘s latest television series Treme opens in a few days. I can’t wait to introduce The Goddess to teevee a la Simon et al.
Peace out.
