Oz ,'Him'
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.
I think seeing the UK Office first spoiled me for the US version. From what I saw it certainly wasn't bad, but it wasn't as, I dunno... excruciating.
The two books I've read by Brust were excellent, and people I trust like the Vlad series.
Per Box Office Mojo, Garfield actually cost $50 million. And grossed almost $200 million worldwide.
We're making Jim posters for our bedroom walls right now, aifg.
Heh. Seriously, I haven't had this big a crush on a fictional character since... ever. Not even during the height of my David Duchovny thing (shut up.)
I gotta quit talking about this show, because I'm starting to sound like that woman with the monkey baby and the Star Wars fetish.
Uhhh, topic. Nathan Fillion was in the movie Slither, which was directed by James Gunn, who's married to Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam in The Office! See? I was sort of on topic.
Brust is really good; I'd love to read his take on this universe. Which is not to say it'd read like Joss--it's a different thing learning to write someone else's characters than your own.
i'm with Vonnie and Cindy. i freakin' love The Office US. of course, i haven't gotten around to watching the UK version quite yet. i just adore the relationships between Jim/Dwight/Pam.
I have no Firefly-related thoughts. feel free to banish me from the thread...

And that would make even more sense. Thanks, Strega.

But hopefully, not in the 'Dwight as the delicious filling in the Jim/Pam sandwich' threesome way, because Angela will surely kill them all with her hairpin.

Wow, Serenity broke exactly even according to the site. And I guess that's not including advertizing costs and such. I thought it did a little better than that.
Serenity didn't get anywhere near breakeven. Breakeven means it made back the investment. Universal probably received less than half of the boxoffice gross.
Ouch.
Vonnie, they will probably eventually breakeven with DVD sales, TV revenue, and licensing, but it will most likely never be really profitable.
