*waves bye bye*

So long and thanks for all the shiny things.

Oh pants.

That's a shame. After watching the filum I went and got the series on DVD (£20, what a bargain!).

I really enjoy it, it has a light, quaint charm

Trying to ration it so it lasts longer and never ends is so difficult

And now I know where one of KC's avatars comes from!

THIS IS UTTER FUCKING BULLSHIT!

Been a fan of the TV show now for ages. Then the movie gave us hope. Now this happens. WTF. Joss Whedon now not only looks likes a giant inflatable man-boob but has now acted as such. I can't believe he would "Let Firefly Go". I'm away to phone Stacey and have a bitch/rant/cry over this excuse me.

*Leaves in a sulk*

For anyone wanting to listen to good music....

[EDIT:- After looking more into it I believe the article was taken out of context. Looking around some of the more "Official" joss sites such as http://whedonesque.com (Official as in he is in touch with the webmasters and posts occasionally) it seems the article may have been blown up a bit. Here's some more details:

More Details

Also I'd recommend reading more sites like this but truthfully we're not gonna know the truth till Joss tells us in all his man-boobed shaped glory.]

Just in case people don't go and read T-Bone's link, here's what (the person I understand to be) Joss posted:

All right, now I have to jump in and set the record straight. EW is a fine rag, but they do take things out of context. Obviously when I said I had 'closure', what I meant was "I hate Serenity, I hated Firefly, I think my fans are stupid and Nathan Fillion smells like turnips." But EW's always got to put some weird negative spin on it. But so we're clear once and for all: If you read a quote saying "I'd love to do more in this 'verse with these actors in any medium" all I'm saying is that Nathan has a turnipy odor. It's not his fault, he doesn't eat a lot of them but everyone else in the cast noticed it and tht's not really something I'm prepared to deal with any more. And Jewel said outright she wouldn't do scenes with him except stuff like the SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER funeral scene which was outside in a high SPOILER wind. So if I do manage to find another incarnation for my beloved creation, it will have been totally against my will.

I hope that clears everything up. Oh, and when I say I want to do a Spike movie, it means I have a bunion on my toe.

-joss (by which I mean Tim)

(no, actually me.)

Mmmm turnips - cool well at least thats put straight now - damn those pesky useless slashdot moderators for not moderating this as utter drivel !!!! *waves a random stick in their direction*

Well done T-Bone for looking it up - I hope you've stopped crying now too

 

[BiG D]

hmmmmm... Too late, I've already organized a mass suicide

Adieu to Firefly - Nostalgia trip

We all remember FireFly/Serenity
First up is Adam Baldwin (Jayne Cobb) singing 'The Man They Call Jayne'
And we can never forget the man they call:

Jayne!
The man they call Jayne!
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for!
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton.
The man they call Jayne!

Now Jayne saw the mothers' backs breakin'. And he saw the mothers lamment.
And he saw that magistrate takin' every dollar and leavin' five cents.
He said; You can't do that to my people. You can't crush them under your heels!
So Jayne strapped on his hat and under five seconds flat, he stole everything boss Higgins had to steal.

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for!
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton.
The man they call Jayne!

Now here is what separates heros from common folk like you and I.
The man they call Jayne he turned around his plane and let that money hit sky.
He dropped it onto our houses
He dropped it into our yards.
And the man they call Jayne he turned around his plane and headed out for the stars.

He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor.
He stood up to the man and he gave him what for!
Our love for him now ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton.
The man they call Jayne!
