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.
Early: Where'd she go? Simon: I can't keep track of her when she's not incorporeally possessing a space ship. Don't look at me.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

[insert something funny here]
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?
There was no Cheese Man. Which is perhaps the most disturbing thing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
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.

This is what Chris B posted on the OB. You don't want to go see what some stupid troll is posting on the Universal site.

Hey. New board.
Hmm. Should arrange to refresh that page every five minutes starting at 6 in the morning.

Google seems to love Serenity too! Googling for 'serenity' yields the imdb entry first and serenitymovie second and the apple trailer third. Go Team Google!
tho, coming in at number four is the adult diapers, but we'll ignore that

Everything is my fault.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
What nice news to wake up to! I know at least a dozen fans in the Boston area who weren't able to get tickets (or have me get tickets for them), so that's great! (I wouldn't mind a shot at a second viewing myself.)

Dillema: do I quit refreshing www.cantstopthesignal.com or do I take a shower and start my day? Hmmm. Maybe if I'm very very careful, the laptop will work in the shower...
