'Smile Time'
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.
Has this project ever been mentioned? Done The ImpossibleDon't know if it's been mentioned, but my recollection is of a documentary that explained the Firefly/Serenity phenonemon well, but at a little too much length. Kill a few darlings (especially of the self congratulatory kind) and the whole thing would've been more accessible to non-fans. Not to mention easier to sit through. That's what I recall anyway.
Mikey, Done the impossible hasn't been released yet so I am not sure to what you are referring.
I have a real slug phobia, so despite loving Shaun of the Dead and liking Tremors quite a bit, and liking other horror/comedy like Dead Alive and of course loving my captain...
no.
Although, dang but the Air Supply in the trailer almost got my butt in the seat.

left Wrath of Khan when they did the ear-slug thingThank you. I had nearly blocked that traumatic moment from my memory.
Hid under the seat when the stormtroopers questioned Luke about his landspeeder and has MAJOR willies about Willy Wonka.
Tamara ... apparently, it was previewed at a Con late last year, so Mikey may have seen that.
I think it was previewed at Wonder Con in SF in February, but the 3 hours of extras aren't finished yet as far as I know.
I have a few friends who saw it at W*C and they all said it was excellent.
Of course my bias may be showing since I am friends with the creators and maybe feeling a bit protective since I know how hard they have been working on it for the last year and a half.
Tamara, I saw it at Wondercon and mine is a minority opinion--it was essentially preaching to the converted. Of which I am one, but one who sees almost as many documentaries as feature films.
Mikey, did anyone expect it to do more than preach to the converted? I always assumed it would be a love letter to the fans from the fans.
That's what I thought the intention was, Tamara. I was going to go interview for it, but changed my mind because I have an attitude problem and was worried I'd pee in someone's punch so decided to avoid the possibility.
You would have been great, Allyson. Methinks you have an overinflated sense of your own bitterness. You are really just a sweetie pie in denial.
