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.

I've been scarred too badly to blindly follow actors anymore.

It is a risky gambit, I admit. So far I've emerged unscathed. Apparently, I have a high tolerance for painful movies.

Nobody's ever going to top Ple's efforts in tracking down Alexis Denisof vehicles. There are some really really really bad movies in his filmography.

Well, maybe Matt. Matt's shown some real obsession dedication tracking down CK flix too.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

I ordered a copy of The Keyman ("released" in the US as Finding Redemption) starring Adam Baldwin from a Belgian website because that was the only place I could find a copy at the time. Does that count? :) The sad part is I can also name the two AB movies above - Gargantua and Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. I'm kind of surprised that I haven't tracked down more of Alexis Denisof's work, since I like him more than AB. I do own Rip it Off, aka Behind the City Limits, though. I can sit through B movies (and below) with the best of them, I guess.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Having tracked down and watched most of Mark Dacascos's filmography, and with the rest on my Netflix queue, I know of this pain.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Another HITG moment. Franc Ross, who played Monty in the Firefly ep. "Trash," is in the "Sniper One" ep. of Numb3rs, playing Wayne Osborne, the early suspect and ATF snitch.

eta: Some other interesting items in his IMDB entry: he was in the first two eps. of season 6 of BtVS, and he played "Grizzled Human" in an ep. of Enterprise.

I just watched that ep of Numbers, and I didn't make the connection, but, yeah. Monty. Heh.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

She's taken to Netflixing films she knows will be horrible simply because AB is in them.

If she gets The Chocolate War, not only will she see a young AB, but she'll see my Queer Stunt Husband.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

What's the story with the Queer Stunt Husband?

He did some acting in his youth, and The Chocolate War was filmed around here. He's listed on the imdb under his original name of Wayne Young.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

I can only admire the stylishness of a woman with wardrobe of husbands.

I break out in hives at the notion of one...
