This [link] is cool. Dong ma?
Hee. The subtle humor of Buffistas never fails.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

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.

All is well that ends in pizza.
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).

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
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.

One of my coworkers today said she was a big Firefly fan -- saw the show on broadcast and then watched all the dvds, and still hadn't heard of the movie until today. Huh.

I wouldn't believe anything posted in that forum, unless you know the person posting it to be reliable. People make up shit all the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

From the link:
THEN he tells me. . ."Oh. . .you guys probably won't even have to wait until September 30th anymore. Our test markets and advance screenings are off the charts. . .we had no idea. . .when you said, 'Big following', I didn't realize how big. . ."
Well this is just... neat.

They've actually done very little marketing to the general public, right? And still the screenings sell out in minutes.
I'm assuming that when it gets to be Aug/Sept there will be a real big studio marketing push.... I'm hoping to see some of the cast on The Daily Show.
Ooh - Joss and Jon--now that would be a fun interview....
