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
and
- four, the use of "loyal browncoats." Ugh.
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.

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.

I like to think of Buffistas as fandom fans. We're sometimes (or always?) part of it, we're often scared by it, occasionally we swear it off completely, but we can't stop staring at the train wreck that fandom can be whenever it rears its ugly head.
Then again, maybe I just need to get more sleep.

If trains wouldn't rear their heads then they wouldn't get wrecked so much.

Um... me too.
