Ravenbomb Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 I'm sure if you talk to them for long enough you'll kill enough brain cells
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 Pinjockey is SOOOO much better than BlackFlagg. That website makes me appreciate Anyanka a lot more, cause I'll be damned if that board isn't 90% fucking hippies with their "In Joss we Trust" and "Lets all think happy thoughts" or the more popular "Lets never think at all" and "What the fuck is critical thought?". I fucking hate the fact that these two boards (The old Fox Firefly board and Fireflyfans.net) can't fucking let go of it. Before, I thought it was cool all these forums coming together under one banner - but they don't offer ANYTHING close to resembling independent thought, despite claiming to be intellectually superior to basically every TV watcher on the planet. They might be driving me away from Firefly. They might be driving me to the point to where I actively search out flaws in the show just to burst their bubble. FUCK.
Anya Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 That pic of Jayne is sooo cool. The other day I saw ID4 on TV and marked out so much when I noticed Adam Baldwin was in it. It's good to know someone appreciates me.
Ravenbomb Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 me neither, the picture is way too dark. You can't see the detail of the huge gaping hole in her torso
Mole Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 No, it was more like a clean cut down the middle of her body. I am sure her heart was split into two.
Ravenbomb Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 maybe if her heart were on the right side of her body
Mole Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Well he went across her body, and he hit her heart. Wait, why are we talking about this?
the pinjockey Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 <------------- must have missed that episode of Firefly So which episode was that in, The Message or Shindig?
Anya Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 You can mock her death all you want, but I know she died a champion.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 I watched The Message the other day. That episode isn't a top fiver, but it should be, but there are 5 other episodes which whips it. J.M. Woodward is the Jesus of Television. His death(s)(s), will save us all. There's going to be a Dinner-thing up here in the fall with him and Clare Kramer as the special guests. I'd go, but then I'd be tempted to sexually assault one of them. Which one? I dunno. In my weaker moments...

Ravenbomb Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 You can mock her death all you want, but I know she died a champion. she also died under a pile of rubble, all crushed and forgotten. Destruction of the mall > Death of Anya
Anya Posted July 8, 2004 Report Posted July 8, 2004 Only to the obnoxious scoobies. Anya is eternally mourned by her loving fans.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 8, 2004 Author Report Posted July 8, 2004 Please take your Anya crap and keep it in the Angel thread. This is my baby. There will be an uprise against Whedon if Jaynes hat isn't in it. ... by like, 10 people, the rest will just be happy that Jayne was in it.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Posted July 18, 2004 WASH~! Interview. The SUMMER OF TUDYK! Continues~! Alan Tudyk - "Serenity" Movie - Actionadventure.about.com Interview From Actionadventure.about.com - By Fred Topel - 2004-07-18t Firefly movie news I usually get a few comments from actors about their upcoming comments, but it’s rare that you get basically a full interview while somebody’s promoting another film. To be fair, I will present Alan Tudyk’s interview for I, Robot later this week. But for now, here’s all he had to say about Serenity, the feature length film based on the short-lived TV series Firefly. Tudyk played the ship’s pilot, Wash Warren. On TV, the ship explored different worlds as a sort of space western, without aliens. Joss Whedon makes his feature film directing debut with the film, named after the ship. How did you get a movie from a failed TV show? Joss Whedon. Well, it also was the fans. You know those sci-fi fans. Firefly, when it was cancelled, they took down the website I think, and then three went up. There was a Firefly website all the time when the TV show was over and it became this community place to go. And they didn’t always just talk about Firefly, but there are all those “an episode that wasn’t written” type of thing. They do a lot of that. They do a lot of art, they do all kinds of things with it. But Joss Whedon loved the show and didn’t feel like it got a fair shake and was committed to it so totally. When we were cancelled, he said at the party, he said, “This isn’t over.” Everybody’s like, “Oh, that’s sweet. I hope he’s right, but...” He said, “I will produce etchings if that’s all I can produce, but this will happen again, something, some form, it will have a place. And he made it his mission. And after the DVD sales were good, but even before that, he had found people who were of his like mind at Universal Studios. And then it was first the Herculean task of wrenching the rights from Fox, which I can’t even imagine what that was like, but he pulled it off. And we have a lot of support at Universal. They’re really happy with what we’ve done. We’re about a month and a half into shooting now and they’re extraordinarily excited. We all get along so well. It’s ridiculous. Is the movie bigger? Yeah, it is bigger. Our costumes are cooler. Our ship is the same although it’s actually a little bit cooler. Hallways are a bit wider to accommodate better acting. It’s not as dangerous. You need wider halls for better acting. The first rule of acting is wide, open space. It’s not as dangerous as a set. It used to be you’d put your hand on something and you’d come away with blood. Now there are very smooth surfaces. It is all a little bit smoother around my bridge. I shot the day before yesterday, it was my first day flying the space ship and I got all sorts of new switches, switches and buttons that light up and I have these two little screens that hang above my head that I never had before that all access different things. You probably only shoot two pages a day now? Yeah, we shoot a lot less which is great. We do have that luxury and it is a luxury. But also on the TV show, we did a lot. That element is still there but it’s not as much because it’s not going to be on the TV screen. How many films are you signed for? It is a three-picture deal at Universal and I think it’s going to be about how the first one performs to see how the other two do. But the way that it’s been budgeted, I have a lot of faith that it’s going to do well business-wise, on a bottom line sort of scale. I think it’s going to do enough, it’ll be hard not to do what it’s supposed to do. If something cataclysmic would happen, and such a good script too on top of it all, I’m certain there’s going to be three. More news on the Firefly movie How is Joss Whedon handling his feature directing debut? Well, he loves it because he directed a lot of the TV shows. You know, doing one hour single camera isn’t too far from doing a movie. It’s not that whole multi-camera thing. It’s just a lot faster paced, so it’s the same way of directing just with a lot more time and a lot more opportunity to get it perfect. Twice as much money? Yeah, a lotta money. The pilot that we shot for Firefly, a two hour pilot that Fox decided to show last because it explained the whole story so it was good to show that last. So you knew what you were missing now. You can go, “Oh, that’s what it meant.” I think we made that for $12 million it was reported at the time. Oh my God, a $12 million pilot, a two hour pilot. And we have 50 million dollars to do two hours now. So we can do a lot. What is the mission? I can say this and I can’t say much because Joss will kill me. In the TV show, if you know the characters of River and Simon who are some of the people onboard the ship are wanted by the law. And it got us into trouble a lot. They’re still wanted by the law in the movie, but the Alliance, the law assigns a guy to catch her who’s really, really good at his job. That’s all I can say. Who plays that character? Chiwetel [Ejiofor], he was the lead in Amistad. It took me so long to remember Chiwetel. He’s an English actor. It’s on the website. I should know that. Does it still have the western theme? I think just like in the series, some of the episodes had more of a western theme than others that depended on the story of which planet we went to. This story doesn’t require it. I think it still lives in that world. I mean, his idea is that we had all of these new planets being terraformed, they became like pioneer days so all that stuff just evolved out of it. It was natural for it to be there alongside technology. But we don’t spend too much time in those types of worlds in the movie, so you don’t see it, but it’s still part of the universe.
Mole Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 RRR you're going to kill me for this, but I finally got around to finishing the series.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Posted July 18, 2004 They never mentioned it on the show, but I believe it's in one of the filming scripts. And Mole. You suck.
Mole Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 I only had to watch "Heart of Gold" and "Objects in Space."
The Man in Blak Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 It is a three-picture deal at Universal and I think it’s going to be about how the first one performs to see how the other two do. Wait, wait, wait. I know I'm out of the loop and this has probably already been answered elsewhere...but when exactly did the Firefly movie become a trilogy? And how, considering that the source material was a canceled series - is Universal really that brave?
Mole Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 I am not sure about that triolgy idea either. However, Universal liked Firefly a lot and has always wanted to work with Joss. If the movie makes atleast $80 million, I can see them going through with a sequel.
RavishingRickRudo Posted July 18, 2004 Author Report Posted July 18, 2004 Universal wants a Sci-fi franchise and they see that potential in Firefly. It took Joss a year+ to get the OK for a movie, so it's not like there wasn't any convincing needed to be done. Joss: Ok, Universal Executives, here's Firefly. *Shows them a picture* Universal Executives: BRILLIANT! We'll take 3! Plus 3 pictures are not guaranteed, it all depends on how well the first one does.
Mole Posted July 18, 2004 Report Posted July 18, 2004 And I would like to congratulate RRR on becoming a Super Mod. I know he will have the back of fellow Buffy/Ange/Firefly marks. Even though I just finished Firefly....
