Strawberry disappointment.

Well, that's a great film. I really liked it. More than I thought I would. And that's a pretty cast, prettier in real life, if that's possible. Jewel is wee.

Pity about the wank at the Q and A.

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

What wank? Is it spoilery?

No, it was just some nob end who got the mic and waffled on for about three years before telling Joss not to "sell out" if he makes a sequel.

Someone managed to talk AB into singing Jayne's song and NF into doing the Dance of Joy, so that was fun!

Your tag here.

As noted here This Variety (SPOILERS) article on the Serenity premier in Edinburgh claims Jewel and Joss are wed:

and corn-fed farm girl Kaylee (Jewel Staite, Whedon's real-life wife), the ship's mechanic.

Ha! That's hilarious. I bet their actual spouses will get a lot of mileage out of that.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Got a marketing idea for Universal. Place Serenity movie posters in Chinese restaurants all across the country (or the world for that matter). Also, as a tie-in: Supply the restaurants with fortune cookies. The "Learn Chinese" side of the fortune should have phrases from the movie, so if we eat lots of Chinese food, we can swear right along with our favorite characters.

The poster placement idea was DCJensen's. The "Learn Chinese Curse-words" bit was mine. Mine, I tell you. All mine. Get your filthy ha.... Um, right, I'm ok.

Really.

move out and draw fire

Oh, this should happen in any case.

I just got a chance to look at the lego Serenity. I love his wallpaper photo of lego!Serenity buzzing the herd of lego!horses: [link]

Um, huh? Oh. Joss' wife is Kai, and I bet somebody mixed that up with Kaylee. Weird.

I may have to seize the cat.

That is a crazy, crazy notion. Do they know that he is almost 20 years older than her? Not that it's stopped marriages before, but I'm just curious. The woman is younger than I am.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

A 20-year age gap between a director and starlet hasn't traditionally been that much of a barrier in Hollywood...

It might make it statistically unlikely, but I don't think it makes it crazy, even if you take Hollywood out of the picture.

It's crazy primarily because it's not true.
