Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

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.

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

As a side note, does anyone know what the fourth tombstone, with the piece of gun or ship or whatever, was for?

It looked to me like a plastic rocket (hee!) that they were all hanging things on--prayers, perhaps?--and Zoe was going to light the fuse that shot it off. Now I wish I had the visual companion here at work with me...

What is even happening?

I could--and probably will--go back and see it a couple more times, just to do my part to get the numbers up.
Beverly, if you've already seen it twice, why do you see this as doing your part in anything, or maybe I mean why do you feel like you need to do any more than you've done? If we see it, I want us to see it on the weekend to help the numbers, but that's about it. I guess I'm just confused by the wording that implies you're somehow obligated, or that it's a good cause.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Well, I do think it's a good cause. I want Serenity to be successful because I think it's a better movie than much of the dreck out there, and I want there to be more good movies. That my personal preferences weren't catered to is my problem, not Serenity's.

It's an obligation only so far as I'd like to support (in however tiny an amount a couple of ticket purchases can support) the movie, and movies I approve of.

Exactly what it looked like to me. Old-tymey ESTES rocket. [link] hee.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I thought it was probably a memorial for the people of Miranda. With a plastic rocket.

Oh, man, I can't believe it! The SciFi channel blurred out Mal's butt at the end of "Trash!" How cruel, evil, perverted and mean can they be. I'ma pout, now.

Ha! That's incentive to buy the DVDs.

Well, I do have the DVDs. But, somehow, watching it on TV makes it seem like it's still a current show. Sigh. However, I may have to dig out the DVDs just to play that scene. I feel shortchanged. Hee.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Yeah, every time TiVo picks up a favorite episode that I have in uncommercial widescreen high-quality pristine form just two feet away, I'm all kinds of excited to catch it on the actual TV. Go figure.

That's how I feel when I run across Wonderfalls on [memfault]. Then I remember. Then I seethe. I haven't run across Firefly when clicking, yet.
