Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

[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.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ESB was co-written by Leigh Brackett and Lawrence Kasdan. I think it's far and away the best of them, and I attribute much of that to Leigh Brackett, who was a brilliant writer, both of novels and screenplays, including "The Long Goodbye" and "Rio Bravo," plus she held Faulkner's hand when he worked on "The Big Sleep."

More germane, she was a veteran of space opera from the pulps like Planet Stories. Which was a more swashbuckling/not so scientific pulp. Now if only CL Moore could've worked on a few episodes of Farscape...

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

I declare P-C thread winner.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Now if only CL Moore could've worked on a few episodes of Farscape...

Amen.

Or if Leigh Brackett, with her sf and the screenwriting chops, could have lived to write post-Star Wars films.

The status is NOT quo.

Kristen, you're right. It was blasphemy.

But fun!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Okay that's just blasphemy.

I actually gasped at how mean it was to even accuse your boy in jest of writing that piece of shit.

Do I really look like the kind of person who would have a website for the writer of Ep 1?

I may be a sycophant but I have standards, damnit.

rereads Kristen's Firefly reviews

looks up "sycophant" in dictionary

decides to run out for a pepsi and stop trying to figure out if that word means what Kristen thinks it means.

Oh shut up. He. never. read. them.

Well obviously. He was busy with the next prequel script. That Lucas is a slavedriver.

No. It just doesn't work as a Minearian concept.
