Vulture has a new podcast about the art of the TV pilot. Fun discussion (and excoriation of Fear the Walking Dead) but I was disappointed that Glee doesn't get props. That show turns into a disaster in record time but damn that pilot was a beauty.

Happy that Pfeiffer is working but I also don't get any chemistry between her and DeNiro. He's a great actor but generally hard for actresses to play well off him. Streep (The Deer Hunter), Foster (Taxi Driver), Moriarty (Raging Bull), and Bernhardt (King of Comedy) were maybe the most successful.
...and Minnelli in New York, New York (arguably the best performance by an actress in 1977--sorry, Diane x 2).
