Actually, tommyrot, MPD might explain an awful lot. Especially if one of me hates me.
Mal ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
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.
...but I still think that OoG is the best episode of TV ever made.
Hmm. I can never reach a definitive conclusion on such things. My brain shrivels up from all the TV goodness it's having to analyse in order to make such an insanely difficult decision.
I can happily state that OoG is almost certainly top ten worthy, and the best singular episode of Firefly, but I fear I can't accurately give it more praise than that. Too much data to process!
I took an afternoon nap and had a long vivid dream that Serenity had been released as 6 DVDs, but they were unlabelled DVDs, so we kept putting a DVD into the player and saying "No, I think we already saw this bit" and "No, that bit doesn't seem to make sense after the bit we just watched".
I woke up four hours ago, but I'm still, in a corner of my mind, expecting the DVDs to be in the living room.
Come along if you care
Come along if you dare
Take a ride to the land inside of your mind
Beyond the seas of thought
Beyond the realm of what
Across the streams of hopes and dreams
Where things are really not
Anyone here good with Dream Interpretation?
I just woke up from an unplanned afternoon nap, during which I had a most strange (yet somehwat pleasant) multi-plotted dream featuring Morena Baccarin..
(No, not that kind of dream!)
In the dream Morena worked for her father who was some kind of baker. I think I must have been some random guy with a British Accent, because I didnt seem to do much in the dream.
The A plot involved she and I having to bake, then freeze, then defrost and heat up a ridiclous number of large puffy naan bread things, for an important customer, and us not having enough ovens and microwaves for it to be easy.
The B plot involved a caper whereby the girl living next door to Morena had some scary kind of crush on me, and I had to avoid being seen with Moreana for fear of being shot in a jealous rage.
The C Plot involved my moaning about my feet hurting because I had been wearing new boots, and discovering that Morena owned more pairs of white shoes than I had ever imaged possible, which alaos seemed or at least looked to all be new.
The really Odd Part, was when the dream seemed to interect with an eniterly different dream whereby a man claiming to be Steven DeKnight (but looking more like a mix of Adam Baldwin and Drew Goddard) was climbing ladders to fix lightbulbs whilst offering me strange carreer advice (something to with selling washing machines). Odd.
What's really odd is that typicially, my Typical Male Responses are directed towards the lovliness that is Kaylee, yet now I can't keep my eyes off Inara. This is mighty strange.
Here's my dream interpretation (and I've been told I'm good at this). Morena and Jewel are hot. You are fixated on Steven S. DeKnight. Where was the cheese man in all this?
Something that just struck me watching yet another spot for Sideways. You know, the one where Paul Giamatti rails against Merlot? His performance always seemed a little strident to me, and the spot was getting on my nerves, was usual when I started imagining how Alan Tudyk would deliver that line. I liked it much better that way.

There was no Cheese Man. Which is perhaps the most disturbing thing.
Joss just posted to the official board to say that there will be twenty more screenings. Cities not announced yet. Possibly the same ten as last time, plus ten more.
I need to see it now. There's no way I can stay spoiler-free the rest of the summer.
Joss just posted the below on the serenitymovie.com board. Some troll is trying to crash that board, so I thought I'd post it here (me knowing my password and all, 'nuff said).
Check it out!
Best,

Post subject: Crushing Disappointment

"CRUSHING DISAPPOINTMENT...
...is not in store! Good things are coming... to a theater (possibly) near you!
It's Joss, your roving reporter, with another ZOWIE! exclusive(!) hot off the presses! Browncoats Bring Boffo B.O.! Vegas Vibe Very Vivacious! You heard it first here, true believers...
Okay, first of all, being that guy is exhausting. So no more roving and on to the meat of the thing. I just saw the whole cast today (which is in itself a wonderful and rare thing) and we all compared notes on the screenings, the general feeling being: damn. As in, Big Damn. You guys were SO sweet. We all thought it was a grand time. More (or at least just as) importantly, the Uni Brass thought it worked out great too, so... wait for it... there's gonna be more.
You might have heard rumors, but I'm here to confirm. On thursday the 26th the studio is doing another round of hit-and-run screenings, and this time it's not ten cities -- it's twenty. It's another vote of confidence from the studio and another chance for us to say "thanks" to you guys for keeping this all rolling. And most importantly, another chance to run that videotape of me before the movie, looking so tragically sexy.
"Wait a minute! What cities!?!?! Hey, %#$@face, stop talking about how sexy you are (although you are confessedly quite the dish) and give us the info!" Well, I don't actually know. I think we'll be repeating in the cities we've hit and adding 10 new ones. I expect can'tstopthesignal will have the info some time tomorrow, and let the manager-threatening begin! (Or, you know, the ticket buying.) Hopefully one of those cities will be near you, and won't be one where the film breaks and has to start again (heh heh... professional showbusiness... ). I don't know if any of the peeps is gonna be able to come out this time, but if they can they will, and I know Jewel's going somewhere 'cause she was working last time.
That's it! Except to add that Summer and I were pretty overwhelmed last Thurs, and I got the impression everyone else was too. Of course everyone else didn't have to put up with Summer's constant whispering of "I SAVED this film, Hackboy!" or her "surefire" system of winning at craps that had me down six large come the dawn... That girl. Just trouble.
Enough with this post. You guys are beyond swell. Let the party continue.
