Buffistas

These are stone killers, little man. They ain't cuddly like me.

But I'm still going to be angry with FOX for ending The Inside...

You know, for some strange reason I'm not really angry with FOX over the cancellation. Not that TI was any worse a show than FF, WF, Action, Tick, Profit, etc. I really did love it a lot. It's just that at this point FOX is so, damn, predictable. Like an abusive boyfriend, you hope the next time it really will be different, but, alas, nothing ever changes.

I do remain pissed at the viewing public who prefer Surreal Celebs Dancing to quality programming. Who would have ever believed that FOX, who practically created the whole reality craze, would end up choking on it?

Sigh.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Not talking about now. Talking about in general. Note I said when the creator says it's done, it's done.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

WTF?

I was talking about Angel. You were talking about Firefly. Hence my whatEv.

DVDs were always a given, with Firefly, it was promised the day Gail called to cancel, you know? And the flick was Universal wooing Joss from 20th.

So I'm unsure what your IJS meant. You told me? Zing? What?

Because the "noise" had nothing to do with Serenity. Or Firefly DVDs. And it wasn't going to bring back Angel.

Me, of all people, know that.

As an aside, however, if Serenity is successful at all, it's due to fan efforts. Universal's marketing plan seems to be all about the pyramid scheme of fan devotion.

Turn two, the rest are food?

I just feel bad for them if they try this bazillion preview screenings tactic on some film whose creator doesn't have a cultishly devoted fan base of tens of thousands of viewers. I don't see this kind of advance turnout happening for the next big movie whose main selling point is Will Farrell shouting a lot and publicly wetting himself.

YES. Exactly. I'm all for street-teaming, don't get me wrong. I have no idea what's rubbing me the wrong way. But guess if you have x number of "points" you can recruit new Browncoats, and be a "captain" of your own "ship."

It's bizarre. And it could all be because I think Kristen and me should have 5 bazillion points. Not that I want the keychain, it's just the principle.

And yeah, I'm a cunt. i got to fly Serenity and be a total dumbass fangurl. So I'm whining about the diamonds on the soles of my shoes. I know. I know.

5 bazillion points

I traded mine in for the opportunity to touch Gina Torres.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

you are both too cute for words. 8 hundred trabillion "points" each.

Your tag here.

ITA, Allyson. I keep hoping you and Kristen at least will get your due in a DVD easter egg somewhere, sometime.

For my part, I'd like to say "thank you" to both of you for your efforts to promote Firefly. I'm certain your work contributed to Universal's decision making process (in a positive manner), although I do see your point regarding the woo-age.
