Jessica, I was joking. Abeit badly. Clearly I've been blinded by the special effects.

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.
Jessica, if you abandon Star Wars, well, we'll understand.
Firefly, though? All the wankers except me have fled.
What I find slightly confusing and a little unnerving, frankly, is all the people on the Firefly/Serenity boards going "Episode 3 is great!!". Uhm. Did we watch the same movie? Do they not have ears?
Two comments:
(1) Huh. I didn't know that people can't like both movies.
(2) I can think of at least 2 other threads where this conversation would fit better than it does in this one.
I'm really really ready for someone to fix the typo that shows up at the top of my browser...

The really great sites tend to be the responsibility of fandom.
Poor kevin, you tripped and fell in the guacamole. You be alright. Have a paper towel.
People can like both movies. Don't worry, I'm just slightly judgemental of Episode 3 from the point of view of, well, that's best discussed elsewhere.
If Fox point the official The Inside site to a Prospero message board I may cry. (I actually typed 'crap' just then, which worries me).
Oh, I know the best sites are fan-based. I tend to hate official sites. But I'd like pictures and things. Maybe an official wallpaper. It would match my Sisterhood of the Traveling pants wallpaper, in that cool way of matching that isn't, really.
The next question: "Is melodrama bad?"
Of course. It's a legitimate genre, and can be just as well-written or directed. See, Sirk, Fassbinder, Haynes.
It's just...juicier. And irony helps. (See, Sirk, Fassbinder...)
