If you’ve not heard of Firefly before, you’re missing out. Firefly — a sci-fi TV show — is one of those bizarre shows that has managed to establish a fanatic fanbase despite it’s lack of initial success on television. Originally aired on FOX, the series was butchered by being shown out of order and cancelled before its first season ended. And then it hit DVD and sold 200,000 copies, is becoming a major movie called “Serenity,” and will be re-aired on the Sci-Fi Channel in order and in its entirety. How’s this kind of thing happen?
The fans, I tell you, they’re crazy about this show. Serenity, to come out this fall, has had a few hundred preview screenings around the country and these have ignited the passion of the “Browncoats” — the name for fans of the series.
And I tell you what, with all the positive reviews of the movie I’ve heard, I’m definitely planning on seeing it when it first comes out. Heck, I think I’ll even go watch the DVDs of Firefly. I’m all hyped up and it’s really that good.
I’ll leave you now with a short song written about a man called Jayne. It’s part of a folk-song in the show about the Hero of Canton.
He robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor!
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!

From Lileks:
But it didn’t happen. Imagine how you might feel if the script of your life, the plot, the storyline suddenly gets rewritten; imagine if you suddenly feel like a successful soap-opera hunk in his trailer reading the script and discovering you�re going to be shot on Friday. How do you react?
Insiteful question. He is, if you read the thing to see the context, referring to Kerry. But seriously, how would you answer that question? First of all, I’d be shocked to discover I’d become a soap-opera star, gaze at myself narcissistically, and then start looking for a new job. Preferably one that doesn’t involve cheating on a spouse or stepping out of any closets or things of that nature to hype a show and tell a “story.”
I’d like to tell a real story!
Figuratively. I’ve got nothing right now.

The same folks who brought the video series Red vs. Blue, a story about of two teams battling for supremacy, using Halo to render the videos have now begun a new series called The Strangerhood using the Sims 2 to create the story. “Episode 0″, which briefly introduces the characters and the theme song, is available to download from the Strangerhood website.
(Please beware that some adult language occurs within RvB and may in The Strangerhood as well.)

I can’t resist posting with easy access to broadband. I attempted to not post for a week, but that didn’t happen. Oh well, I’m not saying anything of consequence.

Uhoh. Recently, I’ve been playing a lot of Final Fantasy VII, an RPG game by Square. Today, I just found out they’re coming out with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Problem is, I probably can’t play it since it’ll be for Playstation 2. Oh well. I’m busy enough with everything (life + FF7) as it is.
Update: I’m wrong! See the comments for details.
