That doesn't work so well with costumes, though.

Very true, and that's a legitimate gripe. I was just pointing out that some highschools (or at least mine) do start working on the tech before the show is actually cast. YHSMV.

Though costumes for us were generally either rented or assembled by the actors themselves. We didn't have a costume designer of any sort. I think theatre was ridiculously low on the extra curricular budget. When the highschool constructed a new building (and during each consequtive add-on) no space was set aside for the theatre, which meant everything was done in the old highschool building. The stage there had no flyspace and very little in the way of wings. It made set construction and scenery changes interesting, to say the least.

I loved watching Crimetime after Primetime on CBS, I'd watch that and the late showing of Highlander on USA. And I enjoyed Silk Stalkings even though it was obviously in some weird AU Florida where there are rocky cliffs and California coastlines. I about died laughing when they went up to "Tallahassee". X Files did an episode that was set around here and they actually came down and filmed some on location.

I've found I like The Closer despite Kyra Sedgewicks bizarre accent.

That is going to be one beautiful child.

Congratulations to Gina and family.

Shows that are set in DC but that don't use the actual Metro are the only ones that really bug me. No excuses!

There is a new film coming out with Chris!always thebadguy!Cooper that uses the for real tunnels. Good on em.

That IS important. People who have not taken classes will do what they have seen on tv.

I'm always afraid of that when I see it done badly. Plus, I find the drama really ramps up when they show it right. I had thought, in Firefly's pilot when they're all floating in with the goods in the beginning, that an opportunity for more tension was lost: that there seemed to be no danger of the crew floating off into space what with no lines or jet thingies. (I'm trying to bring it back around to topic!)

She will co-star opposite Chris Rock in the upcoming movie “I Think I Love My Wife.”

I don't think I can to watch this. Fleets of space cannibals and psychic teenage assassins I can handle, but Chris Rock being able to land Gina Torres as his wife just involves too much disbelief for me to suspend.

I love that you can't hear explosions in the vacuum of space in the Firefly universe.

My biggest movie pet peeve is the one sprinkler head setting them all off. I never worked in fire protection but my friends who did tipped me off and now it really gets under my skin.

Silence in space is one of my favorite things about Firefly. I think it adds to the tension, because one expects a boom and then it doesn't come, and part of you is still tense, waiting for the boom.

I started to think about that, but he is funny, and funny is a great sexer upper. Still, Gina is such a goddess.

Besides, we bought (in a marvelled at sort of way) that Wash landed her. ijs

I watched Superman Returns yesterday, and there's a scene where Supes hovers above the planet and superlistens to the world's suffering, and all I could think of was SOUND DOES NOT TRAVEL THROUGH A VACUUM NO MATTER HOW SUPER YOUR HEARING IS.
