I scrolled back through this thread and Allyson's said once this year that she's Fireflyed out. I'm guessing this happened somewhere else? Or before then?

Enh. Allyson doesn't need me.

Unless she does. In which case I'm here.

Mostly I'm just curious.

Hey, Allyson -- has Joss shown you anything about the movie? Scripts, plots, anything?

I guess I'm still not clear on what your point is, or what my opinion of The Inside has to do with how I may or may not feel about Serenity.

Joss wouldn't show me anything, he knows not who I am. I've heard descriptions and such, seen the trailer, and I'm not really interested in the movie. I think I'm going to leave the characters where I liked them most, on my DVDs.

Enh. Allyson doesn't need me.

Sure I do, because I thought maybe you'd have some insight on the matter. I wasn't aware that I was dissing the movie all over the thread or making passive aggressive swipes, and after all this time and effort, I think it's natural to be Fireflyed out.

Still unclear on how my love for The Inside would have anything to do with my apathy about the movie.

I'm sorry, Allyson, I got nothing. I can't ever remember you being passive aggressive, about anything.

Heh. There's nothing passive about your aggression, far as I can tell.

I don't think Frankenbuddha (and I'm sorry to step into the middle of this, but here I go anyway) said anything about Allyson "dissing" Firefly all over the thread". I think what he said is that she's been "dissing it in passive-aggressive terms for months now" [paraphrased], which while may give the same impression as "all over the thread" is actually quite different.

If I may make so bold, he's mentioning what I've also noticed, which is that Allyson may've been more subtextually than actually "dissing" Firefly (although being "Fireflyed out" may not be a literal slam, to some of us it does not advertise the true love and obsession that many of us share).

Not knowing many people here, like, up close and personal, over years of board and RL interaction, I do feel I know enough about basic forum life (that would be the "general forum"-forum, rather than specifically "Buffistas forum"-forum, btw), to kinda read a situation. I don't think Frankenbuddha was tryin' ta start anything, merely curious as to why Allyson's attitude toward Firefly may be such as it appears to be.

(Enough caveats? Addendums? Covered my ass completely yet?)

I think this: "I'm not really interested in the movie" kind of thing may have been what Frankenbuddha was referring to.

I'm positive Frankenbuddha can speak for himself, and it is not my intention to get in the middle of anybody's shit and interfere, no way. I am simply posting my opinion on the current situation, as it appears from the outside, and honestly? I don't see any reason on any side to take offense. A question was asked, I thought sincerely, and if I am wrong in my reading of this in any way, that's just because I, too, make mistakes.

I know, I know. Shocking! Rare, but it can happen.

I'll get out of the way now. Thank you for your time and I apologize for the inconvenience.

I don't get why anyone needs to be interested in the movie. In fact, there are posters on the board who actively disliked the show and care not one whit about the upcoming movie.

And have said so.

Why is anyone being quizzed having ODed on a show she put a hell of a lot of effort into?

I think it's a miracle Allyson still watches any TV at all, myself, and don't see it surprising (or worth asking for explanation) when most people say they're whatevered out.

Ree, I haven't seen her diss it here in the past four months. Passive aggressively or aggressively. So I'm assuming it happened somewhere else, or in the deeper past. And I'm curious about where, more than anything, and about the relevance of her actually being excited about The Inside.

Allyson doesn't do ANYTHING passive-aggressively (thank God). She's just not all that jazzed about the film. That has nothing to do with the film and all to do with her own feelings. I AM jazzed and don't share her feelings, but why should I? I'd hate for her to be dishonestly enthusisastic if that's not what she feels. One of the things I prize so highly about this place is that people share their honest opinion about things. Jessica and I disagree all the time in the movies thread, but I love reading her opinions because she is smart and passionate, just like Allyson. Not everyone has to love what I love. The fact that 95% of the folks on this board are indifferent about The Avengers won't change the fact that I love the show and won't affect the enjoyment I get from it.

What? Can that possibly be true? 95% indifferent to the hottitude of Emma Peel? the casual elegance of John Steed? Hard to believe.

I KNOW, Burrell! Shocking, isn't it?
