Yes. With moments of almost-but-not-quite totally brilliant satire on modern pop culture that make it a really fun movie to watch.
Plus, Alan Cumming is in it. And Seth Green plays one-fifth of the funniest band ever to die in a movie's teaser.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Naughty boy.
You're not having the most accurate day.
As far as I know, I'm the only person here that cares about initial sentence capitalisation of my name. I'm very erratic about it online with other people, manically consistent with it on and offline with my own. Felt it would be neater in that post to be consistent.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Hey, I never claim to be accurately. I'm the person who proclaimed Firefly dead and buried in 2002 (which is technically correct still, I suppose).
It's interesting seeing how people perceive online things differently.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
And since none but ourselves, we loyal Browncoats, will probably look as in-depth into the movie, we're going to have to tell the world exactly why this is the best movie ever made.
It's not the idea that browncoats are going to be nerdy about Serenity and notice a lot of details that casual viewers will not see. It's
- one, calling it "the best movie ever made"-- does HP fandom maintain that they are the best novels ever written with a straight face?
- two, assuming that noting relevant details to properly evaluate the movie can *only* be done by "loyal browncoats"
- three, the further assumption that proselytizing is still necessary and possible
- four, the use of "loyal browncoats." Ugh.

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
Kevin, here, have a roll of paper towels to wipe the guac off your...entire body.
I think the lesson learned here, is that you should probably ask permission from a webmaster before submitting their site to the 'verse version of a slashdotting, to not make assumptions about people's names, and also, that ita is not a boy.

Loyality in fandom does urk me a bit, but the fact people are pulling apart the alledged strangeness/wankyness/etc of an overly long sentence is no less strange/wanky/etc.
Allyson, it was somebody here who suggested it should be put in front of JW's nose. If somebody doesn't want something putting on the internet, they probably shouldn't put it on the internet.
I'd be interested to know if Nilly is remotely bothered by any of this.

does HP fandom maintain that they are the best novels ever written with a straight face?
Some of them, yes. But they're not a shining example of sanity.

This is true. There were pictures once. I saw them.

So I should stop calling shrift "shrift"?
Dude, Shrift IS Shrift. And meara is meara.
Oddly, though, I am Teppy.

PMM, you made me do my periodic review of fandom_wank, dammit. And because of how I'd been posting in leadensky's journal (just replying to comment notices in my inbox) I hadn't noticed it had gotten wanky, nor been posted up there. Icky. I gotta remember not to go back to the discussion.
