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.

A co-worker had a weeklong business trip, so I let him have my entire Firefly set. He's a huge old Buffy/Angel fan, and it was great discovering him here.

He'd never watched any Firefly. Big old traitor with a Friday night life.

He's so in love. He watched three disc's worth, including on the plane where he caught lots of people's interest, and cheerily plugged the upcoming movie to them too. This makes three for three with co-workers. Such a joy.

When he's done this, he also has my Wonderfalls. Lucky bastard, seeing all this for the first time all at once.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

How much do I love the pimping on the plane?

so. very. much.

I need a more powerful battery for my iBook for my next plane trip...or an extension cord from business class...

All is well that ends in pizza.

I wonder if the screens in airplanes have DVD players, now....

Now I'm wondering if some sort of Guerilla marketing couldn't be done. Show an ep, followed by a plug for the Movie and DVDs.

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

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hey, there's nothing cooler in the world than zombies.

Although, IMDb says it's directed by the dude who wrote both Scooby Doo movies, which is somewhat more worrisome.

But hey! It has Jameson's secretary from Spidey 2!

Conservative, n. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distinguished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. -Bierce

He did also write the Dawn of the Dead remake, but that is not too much of an improvement.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I thought that was a good movie for the first 3/4 of the time. It was the kind of way I'd like to deal with a zombie attack.

Guy #1: Man, there are so many hipsters around. I hate hipsters! Guy #2: You're at the wrong place. That's like going to Vegas only to say "I hate titties!" --The Warsaw, Williamsburg (OINY)

I thought it was pretty good actually - but soooo scary. I couldn't sleep the night I watched that.

It was the kind of way I'd like to deal with a zombie attack.

Yeah, Sarah Polley's character was so sharp - really quick on the uptake. I liked it that she wasn't standing around going "Oh my god, what's happening, how can this be" for like half the movie, the way the lead actress often does in horror flicks.
