Giles ,'Get It Done'
[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.
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.
you are both too cute for words. 8 hundred trabillion "points" each.
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.
You could if you went to any number of cons, though. Flying Serenity?
That I shall cherish.
So why am I still annoyed?
because you are competitive.
