« Like The Man Said: It's Judd Apatow's World, And We're A Better Place For It |Main| Review: Drillbit Taylor »

March 20, 2008

I Think "What Would Riggins Do?" Is An Acceptable Social Philosophy, Or At Any Rate, It's Going To Guarantee You Have An Adventure Or Two

My second and final trip to this year's Paleyfest was for the "Friday Night Lights" panel. The rush for the stage was stronger than it was after the Apatow panel, and there were even more collectors there, hordes of people with DVDs and Sharpies who had this weird habit of calling the stars by their first names to get their attention. Still, it was a fun night. And damn if Connie Britton isn't something else, you know?

Also: Seeing Tyra Collette play volleyball on the screen in the Cinerama Dome is an experience I can only describe as transcendental.

Anyway, click here for the full write-up.

At first I thought that was Riggs, like from Lethal Weapon

Chris Dowdy

Have you googled your devoted commentor "Elitism Fighter" yet? I think this person is experiencing some kind of persistent synaptic catastrophe. Or he's a cutting-edge performance artist for the age of new media. The devotion to irony that would require is just mind-boggling.

So. Jealous.

Ryan: Modeling your life after Riggs would seem to require more suicide attempts and living in a trailer on the beach, neither of which sounds appealing.

Chris: I'm torn. At first I thought it was just really high-concept, but then I began to wonder if it wasn't just some wildly unhinged person. Also, if I ever form a band, I will write a song called "Persistent Synaptic Catastrophe." And it will be awesome.

Beckylooo: Word. Too bad Riggins wasn't there, but still.
