This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Matt, good reasons!

The optimism of others cheers me, but I fear disappointment. I know nothing about box office numbers; I'm just hoping it makes enough at the end of the day to get us more movies. And enough on opening weekend to impress whoever needs to be impressed. I don't expect it to make Star Wars money.

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

One cool thing is that all the money it made in all the previews will be counted in the first week's gross (once it opens). Hopefully that'll add to the buzz.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

Are there copies of the TV spots online anywhere? *barely watches non-DVD TV anymore*

I don't know, but it was my starred TiVo promo this morning.

Punishingly Intricate

There's a really sweet, non-spoilery interview with Sean Maher at TVGuide online today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Today I wore my new shiny shirt with the Serenity logo on it to work. My friend M has steadfastly refused to watch Firefly, because she didn't like the first five minutes of the pilot. I continued to nag, of course. She came up to me just now, saying, I saw a trailer for a movie, and it looks really good, and it has that guy in it from that show, and it was called... uh.. what was it... I pointed dramatically to my emblazoned bosom. "How can you miss this huge bullseye on my chest?" She started laughing, and agreed that she would probably see the movie, and might even watch the DVDs, once she's finished with Wonderfalls.

I'm still waiting for the inevitable "Serenity prayer" joke.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sadly, I missed a toaster opportunity last weekend at a bachelorette party full of Buffy fans. None of them had ever heard of Firefly. Curse my neighbor for being slow returning my DVDs! But I did talk up the movie, and was excited and surprised to stumble on a 'sci fi fashion' feature in InStyle Magazine, of all things. It had a 2 pg spread on Serenity with a picture of the cast. I showed it around to everyone.

Google tells me (since I was too tipsy to recall) that it's the 9/05 issue, an article titled "25 Century Fashion: are you ready for it?" Also talked about Aeon Flux, among others.
