Chris Buchanan is scouring the Internet looking for early reports on the London screening today. If you hear anything I think he would appreciate it being posted in one of the usual locations.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

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.

Sure, talk bad story about a Firefly actor. You could kill a thread, too.
Try posting it at the Official Board, and I doubt it's the thread that will be in danger of being killed...

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

I think he's sort of a wingnut, Gus. I'll stand by that.

Not gonna argue with you on that one, Matt. But there are plenty of people over there that keep him honest and make him work real hard at defending his wingnut views. Somehow they all stay civil.

Hell, the man seems to worship Joss, who seems pretty thoroughly blue state to me. As others have said, he'll probably be having some interesting conversations with Peter Coyote on the show soon to be formerly known as THE INSIDE. I get the feeling he's closer to a Clint Eastwood wingnut than a Mel Gibson.
But I've also avoided his postings at the OB, so I could very well be talking out of my ass. Everything I've read about what he's said about his involvement with FIREFLY and the fans has been ridiculously sweet.

My impression is he is a nice guy whose politics we happen to strongly disagree with. That happens.

What I get from AB's posts over at the OB is that he's pretty much a 9-11 Republican, and flailing desperately to justify the ideological tectonic shift.
Just my take on the situation, anyway. Kind of like poor, misguided, Dennis Miller, but without the vocabulary. It even happened to me for a few months, I'm embarrassed to acknowledge.

Take your fingers off it, don't you dare touch it, you know it don't belong to you, to you...

It happened to me too, and I'm Canadian, so I can certainly see how that might happen to an American and last longer. I guess the difference between AB and Dennis Miller is that I can still find AB entertaining since 9/11, given that if he started ad-libbing pro-war rants he'd be fired from his acting jobs pretty soon, whereas Miller's whole act consists of political rants.
My pet theory about Miller is still that he died in 9/11 and was replaced by a crazed Republican clone, though.
Although if anyone saw Team America they should be amused by the irony of an actor named A. Baldwin being pro-war!

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...

Fireflyfans.net has some (non-spoilery) reports at the bottom of the page.
In short, they love it.

Agreed. Hasn't changed my burning passion for Jayne Cobb. ;-D On the other hand, my passion for Dennis Miller has turned into pity and revulsion.

Hah! We must think alike, because my own hypothesis is that we actually entered an alternate timeline when W "won" the 2000 election. The Heroes didn't get to the whatchamacallit on time, and didn't save us from splitting off from the timeline we were supposed to be on.
Somewhere, there's a world where the rightwing wingnuts don't rule, and the Heroes are still out there, whoever they may be, trying to wrest us back on course.

Love that movie. Giggled through the entire thing, face and stomach hurt afterwards. "America! Fuck yeah!"
