You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
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.

Art Crawl!!!
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.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
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.

Hey. New board.
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.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm interested to see how the B5 D2DvD works out. It's a good test case.

Warner Brothers just launched a D2DVD business, which will focus pretty heavily on developing franchises they already own. Their stated goal is to keep the production budget under $5 million. The B5 D2DVD "anthology" stories each focus on one of the major characters, which keeps the casting budget down.
B5 DVDs have made a lot of money. It was syndicated widely -- and internationally. Cha-ching. The print-on-demand scriptbooks appear to be selling at a nice clip, and AFAIK without publicity outside fandom. After a decade, I suspect that they've got a pretty good idea of how many people will spend $20 for a DVD they've never seen.

Under 5 million? I wonder if that's the figure 20th Century Fox quoted to Joss for his Buffyverse DVD movies. He did say that they didn't happen due to money issues.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
I'll be buying the B5 D2DVD.
