--- Quote from: WAYF on 11 Aug 2012, 22:05 ---Yelling Bird: In the same vein as FilmCritHulk, Yelling Bird found a handy niche for his persona and talents as a blogger with emphasis on politics and society, who used his crude way of communicating to deliver some surprisingly intelligent analysis and discourse. To this day, his Twitter account remains active, and is considered by many a bastion of common sense and obscenity.

WOAH. I TOTALLY CALLED IT.

I'm liking how my part developed, and we may see more in later, but right now I just like having the time to spend with the kids and watch them grow."
LEWIS BLACK (voice of Winslow): "I love this gig! The kids are really professional about this and the author has been really good about working around my schedule. I haven't been able to go off on one of my rants 'in character' yet, but I think that doing that would spoil the dicotomy for what I'm best known for and the character."

Lewis Black would definitely be Pintsize over Winslow. Maybe Jack Black. Heck, I could actually see Seth McFarlane as Pintsize. In Stewie's voice. Now that'd be creepy.

I got a job crying an unidentified corrosive fluid on sofas.
That'll be sixty dollars.

CLAIRE: I think one of the great aspects of the show that we never really talk about is Jeph's ability to cast people. Usually he doesn't give them a character; he just writes. We decide, to a certain extent, how our characters are going to be. One of the great things about my storyline was that the big reveal that, you know, I was trans, Jeph and I were the only people who knew that I was going to say that. We didn't tell Marten at all. So we just kind of dropped it on him to see how he, the person, reacted to it. That "thanks for telling me"? That was real, and genuine. Jeph made a great choice in choosing him to be the main character. I don't imagine there's too many people in the world who would have reacted in the same way that he did.
The other clever thing that Jeph did was not tell me that my character was trans until the day I needed to know. I'm not actually trans in real life either, so it was pretty surprising for me. So we had that whole meeting where we discussed my backstory and how my brother Clinton (who's not actually my brother by the way. HIS hair is a dye job). Anyway, yeah we called in Clinton as well and we discussed how the two of us relate to each other, cause up until that point we hadn't really interacted. And I wondered why we hadn't had this talk at the beginning, but then as we were leaving Jeph said to me, "Keep doing what you're doing." And I realized, he didn't tell me because I'd spent the entirety of my introduction playing, and being, a woman. Which was exactly how Jeph wanted a trans woman to be viewed: just a normal woman. And I think that's really clever, and Jeph really does have a knack for picking the right people for the right roles...
EMILY (in the background, flapping her arms): BUTTERFREE! BUTTERFREE!
CLAIRE: ...it's almost uncanny, sometimes.

Wow, the forum system actually warned me that I was engaging in thread necromancy before I posted. :P

Well done, and worth the necro'ing.
