 | 'I miss the spaceship!' Gina Torres and her co-cast at Press Tour. Here Mike Ausiello's article. |
This is from Mike Ausiello's press tour diary. It is the first Fox day.
STANDOFF PRESENTATION
10:01 am: It's Moonlighting if David and Maddie were hostage negotiators! It's also utterly forgettable, despite a killer cast that includes Ron Livingston and Gina Torres.
10:02 am: No! No! No! You're supposed to bring out the cast and get them miked up during the trailer, not after! We've been over this before, Fox!
10:03 am: There's no more awkward press tour ritual then staring at a group of actors in silence as the sound man fastens mikes to their shirts. One. By. One.
10:10 am: Lots of boring talk about romantic chemistry and FBI negotiation tactics.
10:14 am: What did Sex and the City do for Livingston's career? "Being one of Carrie's Bradshaw's boyfriends," he says, "is the romantic leading man seal of approval."
10:17 am: I love Gina Torres, in ways that are both surprising and unnatural.
10:19 am: "Occasionally, I miss the spaceship," Torres says of Firefly. "But not that often. [At least] I still have a gun." Does she mean in real life? On Standoff? It's unclear.
10:30 am: A reporter accidentally pronounces co-star Jose Cantillo's last name Castillo. On that note, let's pause for a moment of silence in memory of the late, great Santa Barbara.
10:32 am: This session is dying a slow death. Please, someone — anyone — put it out of its misery!
10:33 am: (Crickets)
10:34 am: Paging Dr. Kevorikian...
Fox's merciful Jill Hudson finally pulls the plug. Time of death: 10:39 am.
