So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I had no idea I posted that. (Currrently doing the 'hangover check all the message boards I post on to see what I've written' thing).

Kevin, I'll make sure and take your mobile hostage next week if you get too drunk. And try and keep you away from computers. Anything else I should worry about?

My 12 children hurling stones?

I finally got the schedule for Monday, Jars, I'll be busy 2pm-3pm but you can pick the tickets up before or after then.. I've set yours aside. Red carpet rolls out at 8.30pm so you'll need to grab me before then.

I'm debating about not drinking at Edinburgh, which is totally famous last words, but I don't want to be bumping into people pissed as a fart particularly.

Myself and Nibbler should be in Edinburgh by half ten or so. I'll text you when we get in and you can tell us where's convenient for you to meet up, 'cause all we've got to do all day is wander aimlessly.

Ditto, mostly. I don't know Edinburgh well (ie at all) so finding each other will be fun.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

If you see only one scene of Deadwood, see the scene where Woo and Swearingen convey quite a bit of information through hand gestures and the word "cocksucker". Information about other people and what's going on in the camp. It's hilarious, and kind of amazing.

That's bit's on the soundtrack album, and even in audio only it's hilarious. Oddly, it reminded me of Abbott and Costello's "Who's on First?" bit. But with less confusion and more use of "cocksucker."

What is even happening?

But I want me and Kristen on a guestlist. And then the storm of bitter harpidom on my heart will be quiet once more.

I don't understand how you're not. I'm not asking for the story, I'm just expressing my disbelief at the wrongness of it.

I may have to seize the cat.

Marketing machine likes to use fandom to its advantage but doesn't bother paying attention to the history of it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Replace "fandom" with "whoever it can," and you've nailed it.

Definitely.

Also, in the Serenity book thing, Joss says Universal was on board before the DVD sales for Firefly was available. I'm confused as to how many version of the events I've seen now. He doesn't mention the millions of fans, though.
