Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.
Partyman, you are welcome. It is a good thing that you talked to me early in the evening before I had one too many.
Zenkitty, I am so used to being blown off by friends and family for my taste in entertainment that it never concerns me if someone else doesn't love the lovable thing in the way that I love it.
Serenity will be successful (in that there is a sequel). This in my world is fact. It's just too damn good not to.
Everyone who doesn't really care about Serenity is one less person helping to make it a hit.
Some people don't really care about chocolate. Some people don't really care about books. Some people don't really care about sex.
It's a big ol' world. It doesn't diminish you when somebody doesn't share your enthusiasms.

What Betsy said!
Tamara, your words give me cheer.
I also am accustomed to loving what I love all by myself, it's just... this is different. Somehow. I was more eloquent (or wordier anyway) before that last hit of pain meds kicked in. Off to lift more gorram heavy boxes.
(I made my moving on-topic by saying "gorram". Which only sounds real when Adam Baldwin says it.)

Yeah, I know. That's why I said it was illogical. It's a feeling, not a fact.
Looking at it from the perspective of a fan of FF, I'm excited about the movie. Can't wait. Don't really think about other people's levels of excitement much, though, I have to admit. Except that the guerrilla promotion still makes me giggle.
Even if I had never heard of FF, though, I would bet huge sums of money that the trailer would convince me to see the movie; it would still appeal to my tastes - space! space ships! action! pretty people! yay! This leads me to be optimistic about the movie's chances, because I think it will spark interest even with the uninitiated.
The movie is unexpected gravy to me. That it might be successful and spawn future movies would be gravier. I hope to swim in all the additional gravy. But if not, I've still got the first helping of gravy to be happy with.
And the 13 eps are a distinct entity to me. So, if it's a little different, darker, whatever - makes me no nevermind.
And libkitty can be Zenkitty for a while, if it means she gets to move all my heavy crap into my new apartment and find places for it...
I would be happy to carry heavy boxes, if in return you would clean my apartment, which is just awful. Carrying I can do. The thought required to organize and rearrange, which is now an integral part of the cleaning, is beyond me right now.
Of course, the living in different states might make a switch hard, but I'm game to give it a shot.
Dropping by to say that I'm really looking forward to the movie, and I've been avoiding watching my DVD's until closer to the movie so I can crank up the love. I will try to break down the trailer and post it in Mejiaville, but it will take me some time to do it properly, so it may not get posted until Wednesday.
Jeez, a whole day Jeff? Ya slacker!
Seriously, that thing I said about patience in Bitches? You must have it in spades to be able to do the delicate parsing you are famous for. I, for one, am grateful for the resource you provide when I'm bugged by a line I didn't catch of an image that flew by me.
Partyman, you are welcome. It is a good thing that you talked to me early in the evening before I had one too many.
And where did you vanish to young lady?!?! I hardly saw you for the rest of the night, and I wasn't hiding from anybody (that happenned after the party!)
Yes, thank you for the non-spoilery. :)
And where did you vanish to young lady?!?
I took off around 11. I was all social personed out and a bit freaked out by the tarot readers non-reading of my cards. I tried to say goodbye but, you seemed to be on a mission of sorts and would not be distracted.
