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.

Mr. Scola’s wardrobe by Botany 500

The Ibsen play that Miller adapted was Enemy of the People.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh. Now I remember. Sorta.

Enemy of the People was about a guy who tried to expose the dangers of... something or other... and the town got mad at him? The dangers of the town's hot spring water spa, or something?

Yeah, Tom that's about all I remember from my college course on Ibsen.

I have a car-wreck fascination watching people's reaction to 9/11. Along with Dennis Miller, James Lileks went through a similar, Al-Capp-like, transformation from witty satirist to bitter reactionary.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

Seems like there is a Comic prequel for Serenity in the works. Details are sketchy.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Whoo! The Chicagoland Browncoats managed a sweep of all the awards we were eligible for this year at Capricon. St. Lucy's Hospital won Best Party, Best Theme Party, Best Alcoholic Drink and Best Non-Alcoholic Drink. [link]

We all had a blast, spread the word about Firefly and Serenity and treated scores of "patients" with the best in Alliance medicines. I'll post pictures when my brain recovers from the long hours in the OR.

(ETA link to vampirefan's picture of the Awards)

Sometimes evil drives a minivan.

Yea! And be careful what pictures you post!

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

When we did All My Sons in college, people kept asking the box office for tickets to My Three Sons . I'll bet they were surprised.

I wanted to get t-shirts made that pictured (from the knees, down) the father and the remaining son next to an empty pair of combat boots.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I though you'd might like to know that coffee just went up my nose.

Ficht nicht mit Der Raketemensch!

Enemy of the People is what Jaws is basically a version of, but with a shark. Speilberg's attempt to make The Doll's House with a giant alligator was, however, doomed to failure.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

So off the Firefly topic, but. after watching My Three Sons after school for so long, I was blown away by seeing Fred MacMurray in Double Indemnity. I could not believe it was the same man!.
