Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe.
I was referring to my annoyance of some of the posts at whedonesque.
Yeah, I know. I'm just saying, I don't think it's a tinhat theory. I haven't seen the Whedonesque posts, so I can't comment on how crazy other people might be.
I haven't seen the pilot, but it's good to hear that Summer's good in it. It'll be nice to have something new to watch once Heroes goes off the air. I just wish the marketing didn't disturb me quite so much.
I hate it when I hit the backspace, end up at a completely different page, and lose my whole post. Hmpf.
To recreate:
For me, the Summer pics are stunning but disappointing, because Terminator is not about sex, but love and power. I will reserve judgement on the show, though. My guess is that I'll be okay with them as long as they draw viewers to a good show. If I don't like the show, that I'll probably have a different take on it.
About Wednesday, I know AnotherAlaskan can't make it this week. How many others can't who would like to?
eta: Just saw the fourth picture. I love it. In my opinion, it makes up for the others. But it's probably helpful for me not to put this in the middle of a post, huh.
I think one (and only one) of the posters is open to a negative interpretation. That also seems to be the poster that is getting the most attention. Gee, I wonder why Fox put that one out? It might have something to do with their target demo of hormone overdosed young men.
What I am saying is that the promotion is attention getting (as it should be), but from all indications the show itself does not follow the same vein.
I guess I just see it as judging a book by its cover and a whole lot of to do over nothing.
It certainly wouldn't be the first time that promotional materials completely misrepresented the product they were promoting. I'm lookin' at you The Last Boyscout!

I was just remembering an old Friends ad, from before it was on. They were all standing around in their underwear talking about how them standing around in their underwear was just a publicity stunt, and they really wouldn't be on the show. And then one (I think Jennifer Aniston, but I'm sure) said something like, 'we won't be standing around in our underwear, right?'
It sounds like this is something like that, without the humor.

Absolutely agree.

Also agree.

I had the same thought. She is lovely, but the poster made her seem more endowed that I had thought her to be. Or something like that.
I call it the Kiera Knightly effect.
good name for it. Also annoyed at what the ads do to her too. She actually commented on it at the POTC-3 press junket. How the Euro posters for King Arthur showed her in her natural state, but the American posters turned her into a C cup.
