I felt slightly embarrassed for the people involved in it.
Inara: So. Would you like to lecture me on the wickedness of my ways? Book: I brought you some supper, but if you'd prefer a lecture, I've a few very catchy ones prepped. Sin and hellfire... one has lepers.

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

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
There are people among my online peeps who have watched Mansquito, because they chose to ignore the title warning.
These people are my peeps because they are willing to give a thing a chance, against all their initial instincts.
Lords of COBOL, Bless my peeps.

As Entertainment Weekly put it, "There are better things on tonight, but none are called Mansquito.

Art Crawl!!!
From an article in the Scotsman about hot ticket sales for the Edinburgh International Film Festival:
However, the biggest draw on the opening day for ticket sales was the sci-fi film Serenity, the first feature by Buffy the Vampire Slayer creator Joss Whedon.
Most of the tickets to the world premiere of the film, about an intrepid band of space mercenaries, including its world premiere, were sold after just a few hours.
Whedon will also talk live at the festival in one of a series of interviews with industry players, and tickets for that event are expected to go almost as quickly.
A festival spokesman said: "There were queues winding out of the doors at Filmhouse when we opened the box office, and there was a real buzz of excitement.
"The world premiere of Joss Whedon's Serenity attracted much of the attention, particularly with online sales.
"The website was hit very hard by an enormous number of people trying to buy tickets as soon as it opened with a staggering total of 40,000 page views in the first hour.
"Unfortunately, this did cause some problems and some people will have had difficulty trying to book early on, but we have managed to get it up and running again fairly quickly."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Did anyone here see Serenity stuff at ComicCon? I hear it went well, but not from anyone who knew enough Jossy stuff to give me details.

Thanks for that link, beathen...
The very opening notes sound so much like the music they play over the casket drop-off in The Message . Neat. Two months. I can do it.
sumi's quotes from that article make me happy.

I'll try to stay away from your wheaties.
Note that the file names (not just the link names) of the last 2 samples beathen linked may be slightly spoilerish.

Oh, heh. I didn't even realize they were for Serenity. I assumed they were for different movies. Which is good, because I don't remember the names. That worked nicely. Oh. Except now I want to hear them. Damn.
