I think Strega's point was that, once upon a time, fans were outraged when unauthorized people tried to make a profit off their asses and that it's not so much the case anymore.
Yeah, I reread it all (again) will confirm I'm an idiot and had added my own world into Strega's phrasing, so sorry. Although, the reason fans profit from SERENITY is complex, but it's definitely there more than other fandoms I've seen. (Example: ebaying advanced screening tickets for $200 each, which happened pretty much hundreds of times in 2005).
Also, Universal have told the law firm to drop the case against Susan. She's free to keep sellin'.
I'd heard that the case was resolved but I hadn't realized that they'd told her she could continue selling.
Well, they've said the designs left are okay from Universal's point o' view. Which I'd agree with.
FYI - Morena Baccarin is going to be on How I Met Your Mother tonight. (omg!girl!crush!)
And Nathan is on Lost on Wednesday. Adam's new show starts the following Wednesday.
Tom Lenk is in this ep too working in the coffee shop Morena's working in.
these casting directors sure do like the Jossverse actors.
The creator of HIMYM has said before (only half joking) that he wants to have every Buffy and Angel guest star at some point. They are huge Buffy fans. The creator's wife demanded that Aly get the Lily role.
And it was High-larious.
I think that Tom Lenk's hair could have it's own show. Possibly with Jared Padalecki's.
It was odd to see Morena playing a normally dressed contemporary woman.
Hey, peeps. I wanted to field something, and hopefully not get pointed and sniggered at for it.
So, JMS's B5 direct to DVD stuff is in shooting now. I just wondered if anybody has an opinion on the finances of those sorts of projects. I was playin' around, and I figure we know Firefly sold at least 250,000 DVD sets in 2004 as Chris Buchanan disclosed that online. Assuming it didn't grow, that's not a bad budget on it's own if you counted all those people pickin' something up.
Or maybe I'm missing a bit of logic.
I think the faulty logic is in "if you counted all those people pickin' something up."
Why should that be expected? I would probably buy it, but I'm sure my parents, for example, probably wouldn't. They didn't really like Serenity, for one thing.
The real question is WTF is somebody making B5 Direct-To-DVDs for? I expect them to fail miserably.
