They're doing it instead of shooting a pilot. So presumably they will broadcast two hours of the cast doing the table read and tearing into the bad parts.

I would love a TV show that was just actors reading and ripping apart terrible scripts.

And again: what pilot? It's a movie.

I thought this was a TV movie, not a series?

Also, table reads are good. They're the first part of the filming process. They mean everything's been cast.

Evil Mastermind posted:

Look, you guys just don't get it. Yeah, supposedly the table read is a milestone in any filming process that presents the first opportunity for the actors and writers and production staff to get to know each other and the project, but we all know it's really so they can see if they want to change things. If these big-shot Holly-weird types had any respect for Les and the beautiful story he's crafted, they would just trust the script is fine and go into production without any silly table reads.


I was sure there had to be some kind of amazing backstory with that top panel. Like, maybe she was an escaped prisoner or hostage or something and this demonstrates the amazing ability of humans to survive and persevere in the face of horrific circumstances.

Nope. I looked it up. She's just a teenager who said, "I want to swim across that strait all tied up," and then she trained for it, and then she did it. Still impressive, yes. I don't know anybody who could do that. And yet... :smith:


(Edit: I can't believe I just posted a smithface because a teenaged girl DIDN'T get horribly abused. Don't mind me, I'm sure she's a very talented young lady.)


I've been thinking through this whole storyline that in that situation where the child I'm babysitting refuses to use any potty but his own, I'd just have him play in the back yard with my kids until his mom comes back (in a couple of hours, allegedly). What the heck; it's summertime and he's young enough we could probably just let him hang out back there with no pants without mentally scarring anybody.

It might be a good thing I don't have kids.

It occurs to me now, though, that Lizzie probably wasn't potty trained too long ago. Maybe there's still some Pull-Ups around the house?

I wouldn't break into the neighbor's house. That's what I'm getting at here.


This is syncing up to my music surprisingly well.

It's still really impressive, and if you like, since she proved it's possible you can make up some cool story about a prisoner escaping from Roman Constantinople like that without a real person having to suffer for it. That could totally be a Prince Valiant story, now that I think about it.

You find yourself on an internet forum for comic strip nerds. Poster Wanamingo has just made the following post:
Would you like to joke about Sluggo killing himself in a gruesome way, or make a crass comment about these children having sex?

If child suicide seems more appealing to you, go to section 2.
If you would rather discuss adolescent masturbation, go to section 3.

Retail

You know, this is incredibly boring. I'd much rather see the cast of Retail get justice for the litany of stupid things they actually do instead of a really weak and contrived revenge plot from a long-forgotten character no one cared about. Especially since there are more recent villains like Mina that evidently just completely disappeared from the strip in a puff of completely wasted plot potential.


I guess we're supposed to be appalled that Stuart is suggesting Marla is covering for Cooper's incompetence when she's actually covering for his breaking the law. Man, Stuart, how can you be so terrible?
