Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

The Minearverse 3: The Network Is a Harsh Mistress  

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Tonight was a rerun of the premiere. Friday night sounds like the lucky night for me. The only other repeat is Sunday, and I plan to be watching fireworks then. I'll just have to pray for cable.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with meaning? What does that mean?

A bit of Wonderfalls news -- they're 99% sure the episodes on disc will be 16x9 widescreen. Also, looks like they're doing a screening at the San Diego Comic Con, probably going on after Joss Whedon. No decision on which episodes they'll be showing yet.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Thanks, Cranberry! I am going to try to make that comic con.

Widescreen? That kinda sucks, but that's better than nothing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Was it shot in widescreen? If so, it makes sense to release it that way.

I need a new tagline.. submissions are accepted.

How does a widescreen release effect people with 15 year old full screen TVs? (I am clueless in such matters)

They'll see a black bar at the top and at the bottom of the screen. The alternative is to crop the edges, losing some of the picture.

Oh that does not sound that bad at all.. as long as its the bars and not the croped edges.

tommyrot - A few months ago, Tim said:

Wonderfalls is meant to be seen full screen, with some exceptions. But let's just say full screen and leave it at that. It's not like Firefly where we meant for it to be 16x9 and they wouldn't let us. they wouldn't let us to point where there was no frame at all because we were all CANCELLED AND SHIT.

Huh. I remember that now. So it's weird that they'd release it widesreen. Maybe just the "few exceptions" will be widescreen?
