And, he's money, baby.
See what I'm saying. In the founding father's fuck, chuck and marry, it would be fuck Hamilton, chuck Jefferson, marry Adams.
And I think I might have squicked myself.

"Don' be e-scared"
I actually rewatched "Serenity", the pilot. That's some crunchy good stuff. I mean, really good. Whenever I see the odd review that claims Joss's tv roots are showing in the feature "Serenity," I think, "weird, 'cause whenever I look at an ep of tele that he directed, it always looks like a movie."
Rewatching the pilot made me sad and kind of angry. It promises such wonderful things to come. And Joss really made a fully realized, lived-in world in that pilot. The network was fucking out of their tiny brains to not air that. They must have wanted the show to suffer, I can see no other reason.

I did that tonight as well. And then OoG. Then Trash because I didn't feel like getting off my ass to change the dvd and it was being stupid anyway and I didn't dare tempt the dvd player gods and I liked that one too, but wasn't up to coping with gore or betrayal elsewhere on the disk.
Um.
Serenity was damned good. I wondered, as I watched, if it would have been enough. I haven't deliberately seen movie movies in years, so I'm hopelessly ignorant.
I liked that show, damnit.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Oh I agree. Except I'd hold out for Samuel. Q. has all the glory, but Sam = free beer.

A One that isn't cold, is scarcely A One at all.

When I learned Firefly was on FOX I was both hopeful and fearful. I'd been down that road once before with Space: Above and Beyond. It got a full season but ended with a cliffhanger before getting cancelled. Damn, I never got over that one.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I was a fan of that one as well. Thank goodness it's coming out on DVD.
Oh, funnily enough: Customers interested in this film were also interested in these films:

I remember Space Above & Beyond being a big favorite at The 11th Hour.

Kat, I love you.
Not in the Lori-chasing-me-with-an-axe way or anything like that, but I think that's the funniest thing I've seen all day.
I should see if our library has the Hamilton bio and/or 1912 : Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft and Debs -The Election that Changed the Country.

Hey. New board.
I am so unimpressed with Jefferson.
Yeah, he kind of sucked. What an arrogant jackass.
I mean, the Declaration of Independence was pretty and all (albeit VERY inspired by many other works, as is well-known in historical circles), but the dude was VIOLENTLY anti-Constitution. Despite the fact that the Articles were clearly not working. At all. In any sense. That's just stupid, and I have no respect for it.
Plus, he supported at least a few of the Really Stupid Phases in France.
Plus, yeah, slave-owner.
