I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

The highest paid person on that shoot was actually the writer/director, looking at it.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Having only heard of actors' salaries when they're in the $5 million or over range, I was really shocked when I heard what Elijah Wood got for LotR (all three films)--$1 million total. The cast did get bonuses for each film after they did well, but still, that's practically nothing for the lead role in a megablockbuster.

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

I just get a blank yellow page from that link. Is it a browser thing?

aurelia - it works here under Firefox. Might be a browser thing.

One of the weird things I find about conventions is those people going into them thinking the attendees are earning mega bucks from acting... Usually not. Chances are most of the people posting on this site earn more than your average guest starring actor on Buffy.

This photo of Wash makes me laugh: [link]

Serenity is #1 for last weeks UK DVD Retail chart, #2 for rental. It debuted 25th on US Rental chart in December.

And that's because the US DVD artwork was, well, crap.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Daniel just made me watch Ice Pirates. Is it possible for that to be a parody of Firefly when it was made twenty years before?

All is well that ends in pizza.

Xposted from the Minearverse:

We kept making parallels to Firefly.

I may not be right in the head.

Jason (Robert Urich) is Mal
First mate Rosco and Anjelica Huston's character merge to become Zoe.
Lyle Alzado is Jayne.
Ron Perlman is Wash
Mary Crosby is Inara

Apparently this adventure takes place before the pilot...

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

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Even after the first two admittedly low-budget Evil Dead movies, Bruce Campbell worked as a security guard. In his book "If Chins Could Kill" he wrote about the day a co worker finally recognized him.

Good book, btw, I recommend it.

Chiming in the second this rec. Also, the paperback has an addendum about the book tour for the hardcover release (the "Chins Across America" tour), so that's the edition to go for.
