So, it looks like such was the clamour for tickets they've added an extra two nights in Edinburgh.
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.
A-
Minus! What's with that?!
eta: There are three viewings listed for Edinburgh. All are sold out.
The minus is probably a good idea. People are often wary of A+ ratings, as they tend to be indicative of a lack of objectivity (read: tainted by nerdery) that probably wouldn't reflect their Joe-Sixpack opinion.
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.
Forgive me if I'm repeating, but there was a panel--with everybody but that guy in Spamalot. Just good natured palaver. The closest thing to hard news was that the movie is finished. Funniest bit: Nathan gave us the secret to soap opera acting--a good three part reaction shot. When another character tells yours something, and the camera is on you, just think: did I leave the stove on?; yes, I did; no--I didn't. Facial expressions that work every time.
Joss was seen shopping for Harry Potter.
And there was a screening of said finished film at a downtown multiplex. Shiny.
Excellent.

This sounds like the dignified version of fart-smelling acting.
That was hilarious. Especially this:
Cannily realizing that viewers enjoy the thrill of the chase, Fox skipped the pilot, ran the second episode first, mixed up the rest, and waged a heroic battle to keep interest high by endlessly airing commercials about "Oliver Beene." Had "24" been handled the same way it would never have made it to "12."
and this:
And remember, every time you support a canceled Fox show, somewhere a network executive loses his wings.
Thanks for posting that, sumi.
If it goes down, blame me, as I'm hosting it.
Go you! I really liked it. Damn, I want to see it. It looks all action-packed and wisecracky.
