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.
sumi, that's all of Alan we will get. His part was drasticaly shortened before filming began.

Hee. The subtle humor of Buffistas never fails.
I'm not sure I'd use the word "gorgeous" to describe those retro posters, although the wanted posters on the source's website are cool.
I think I'd go with "Nifty" for the retro posters.
I'm sure this or something like it has been posted before, but a while back I found a bitchin' Pinyinary for the Chinese used in Firefly. Interesting to see the exact euphemisms and swears used, and where the actors got their pronunciations wrong (There may be a reason why Book only ever spoke Chinese once--boy, was he off).
The Pinyinary is the website of the same fabulous guy who wrote the essay on Chinese in Firefly in the Finding Serenity collection edited by Jane Espenson.
LOVED the retro posters. I'm not sure that's the right sell for this movie though. Would have been great as promo for the series.
