Interrupting the political flame-fest for a Tim quote from the latest EW, regarding the fan-based marketing for Serenity:
"I just hope he didn't f--- it up," he deadpans. "I want to direct the next movie."

"he" being Joss?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"he" being Joss?
Yeah.

Actually, he was referring to me. I ghostdirected the movie.

You read it here first. If it goes wrong, it is P-C's fault.

"Don' be e-scared"
Gus, casting one's mind back -- I think my question was in response to a post you made where you said "Moon" wasn't about libertarian ideas. Thanks for agreeing that, at least to some degree, it is. But I wasn't really arguing the merits of Libertarianism. I would be a sorry advocate for it, since I don't fully embrace it.
I'd call myself a small "l" (L) libertarian. And I disagree about everything government doing in Katrina being a disaster. (granted, city, state and federal relief efforts were cocked up for days. Every link in the chain, it seemed, failed at some point, still:) Thousands of people were rescued off rooftops, for instance. The Coast Guard is part of of the government, and they just rocked like a rocking thing. I don't see how private industry does stuff like that.

Yup, in Gus "The Minearverse 4: Support Group for Clumsy People" Aug 18, 2005 6:20:31 am PDT :
But that is not what it is about. It is about misshapen Manny making a connection to Wyoh. It is about Mike being existentially bereft, and his being willing to make any change to reality to suit those people who "get" him.

Thanks, Nilly. BTW -- it's about that stuff Gus points out, too. Just sayin'.

it's about that stuff Gus points out, too.
When I first read the book, as a kid, I couldn't see anything other than the stuff that Gus pointed out (then again, I was a rather silly kid. For example, I didn't see the Christian stuff in "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" until like the 17th time I read the book, when I was already twenty years old). Everything other than the characters connecting went way over my head. Only on a re-read, a few years back, did I realize it has some actual politics in it, too.
