Zombie-eating beagles are too "safe." Let's mix it up a little. Let's have them dance w/ celebrities, too.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Zombie-eating beagles are too "safe." Let's mix it up a little. Let's have them dance w/ celebrities, too.

How about streamlining this idea: Beagles dancing with Celebrity Zombies, then eating them afterwards. Ooooh! Make it a competition: Only the losers get eaten.

That's pretty much everyone.

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

Saw this transcript of a Q&A over at Whedonesque:

Q – I was just wondering what if any input Tim Minear had into the movie and your experiences working with him on the show?

Summer – He will never come to our parties. He won’t come. He really likes to work, and he was very busy on another film when we were making Serenity and we would beg him to come and visit us and he wouldn’t. I know that he saw a rough cut of the movie and he really, really loved it. He had some great notes and he helped Joss there at the very end. But I do know, and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to say this, but I do know that if there is any more work on Serenity that Tim will be involved.

Nathan – Oh my god you’re not supposed to say that

Summer – (covering her mouth in mock horror) Too late.

Nathan – (To Morena) Tell us a story about Tim Minear.

Morena – To be perfectly honest…

Nathan – You’ve said enough.

Morena – I really just enjoyed the writing that he gave my character and I enjoyed working with him as a director very much. It was really nice to have him on set because he was very laid back and he was there for us. It was easy to be around him. I felt very creative, one of my most creative episodes was with him so I enjoyed working with him.

Nathan – Tim Minear is a very wonderful man. He’s very much like Joss Whedon in that he is extremely intelligent, extremely creative and can impart ideas to you that you would never think of without making you feel stupid and he’s also always really, really excited about Firefly, very, very excited about Serenity. We would do a Firefly episode and he would direct or write it and have a really great time and the following week while he was putting it together we would be doing another episode and he would come to the set and say “I’ve got a rough cut of the episode you want to see it at lunchtime” and we’d be so excited we’d be like little girls.

Morena – O.K. when you say we, do you think you should have included me in that?

Nathan – I meant Tim and all his favourite actors – me!

He's a lurveable guy.

so cute and definitely lurvable.

I'm tempted to buy Tim a copy of Hypochondria Can Kill but I fear I'd become a one note girl.

Hey. New board.

Just got back from Antigua, Guatemala. Will possibly read the last 300 posts later unless somebody warns me in the next 10 minutes that it's entirely FCM, in which case I probably won't bother.

My point, though, is this:

In Guatemala, the local Fox-related network is not only showing The Inside starting this Tuesday, they're promoting the HELL out of it. I caught something like 3 awesome, long previews with cast interviews and the whole bit, and I seriously only had the TV on for a grand total of perhaps 2 hours in the two weeks I was there, and most of that was Clueless on HBO. I also managed to catch a bit of The Witch with scarily bad dubbing, but that's another story.

Anyway, my point: are Fox-related networks in other countries going to air Inside episodes we didn't get? Because I might have to move to Antigua, if so. Not that I would mind that. It's COLD in NYC.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Best guess without going back to count... 60%.
