I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

TV, movies, web media--this thread is the home for any Joss projects that don't already have their own threads, such as Dr. Horrible.

brillig

male nudity and sexuality couldn't possibly be considered hot, so it's just played for laughs.

The Slash Channel, with every buddy cop show ever made.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Isn't televised slash much more entertaining when it's not intentional?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Fay, Sci-Fi have picked up the UK rights.

They're going to be airing it without widescreen (so some of the screen cut out) and I suspect with cuts (each episode is 50 minutes, which leads little room for commercials).

My favourite quote from the press release:

"The special effects in [this] series are genuinely show-stopping and likely to be the subject of many water-cooler moments for fans."

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

That's good to know, but I'm in Thailand, mate.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I'm so confused.

Dollhouse? What special effects are they talking about?

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I don't know. The only noticeable effect I can think of was the bullet time at the end of The Target. (The 'hello Joss? It's The Matrix on the phone from a decade ago, could we have our special effects back please?' one). I am guessing the NBC Universal exec quoted hasn't actually seen the show he's bought.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Does anyone here have discussions around water coolers?

Sometimes I wonder if water cooler discussions happen in real life. Either that or I've always worked at places too stressed out to have time standing around chatting drinking water.

Maybe it's archaic now? Like the image men sitting around a potbellied stove in the general store discussing news...
