How can you help? You can give to the “Help Nathan Buy Firefly” website to restore the 'Verse to it’s rightful place in the entertainment cosmos.
As reported here.
No. I don’t think it’s going to work either. But that’s what makes lost causes so much fun…[/QUOTE]
I have to say about Firefly…caught the pilot, was busy doing something (probably work) through the pilot…forgot about the pilot and show. Show cancelled.
Then I caught “Serenity” years later and thought it was one of the best sci-fi movies I’d seen in years; only afterward did realize it was based on that short-lived “Firefly” show.
What I think made Serenity so great was that within maybe 30 minutes of watching the movie, I was convinced the Serenity Universe was completely believable. The great hallmark of science fiction (ie Aliens) vs. fantasty (ie Star Wars) is that instant immersion…you really think “ok this could be life a few hundred years from now”. Humans are pretty much the same people…our machines break all the time, governments are trying to control the people…the tech is downright DIRTY.
God I love space pirates…and on that note…I give you the SPACE HERPE

Who knew that Bieber kid was so dangerous?

At least his voice is finally starting to drop in pitch.
So I went out with a nice Hawaiian girl for the 3rd time last night, and learned that all of her friends are chollas with Navy husbands. It was a pretty funny night.

Ah…teen empowerment movies.
Have you noticed how popular this shit is?
Teens wanting to be aliens (I Am Number Four), vampires (Twilight, various WB shows), werewolves (ibid), superheroes, psychics, telekinetics, witches (The Craft).
Anything but angsty teens…yes I a biased old fart but…I’ve seen this shit before.
Kids want to be anything but human, it seems. Fantasy is cool and all but…there are real world ways to advance yourself beyond whatever you feel your limitations are.
Martial arts, for example.
Apparently these Bieber lyrics are worse than I thought!

This explains Ninjas too!
Geez. They are handing out Staff tags like candy.
Mmmmmmm… candy…
brb. Peanut Butter Twix calling my name.
Eating that gives me a ‘staff’ if you know what I mean.
(It means I get a boner when I eat that candy. ‘Staff’ is another word for ‘boner’.)
Boner.
I’m digging the way the girl works that Slave Leia outfit.

But I am seriously hating the Vulcan/Jedi mash-up outfit. That must be destroyed!

Congrats to the guys who got them!
But I’m wondering about all the little “extras” in this new format: the Level, the achievements, the awards… I don’t quite understand what’s going on with them or how they work.
they’re turning bullshido into a video game.

Infinite lives in Contra, bitches!

WORST. Facial. Ever.
hey, if i were to set up a digital tip jar to help offset the cost of movies, you guys think the greater bullshido community would go for it?

You’re too young to not be stealing movies from the Internet.
not really easy ways to get something the weekend it comes out. also, i’m trying to be as legitimate as i can.
[QUOTE=Conde Koma;2510614] also, i’m trying to be as legitimate as i can.[/QUOTE]
but…Trollshido!
hence the “as i can.”
that said, trollshido does bring a certain amount of LEJITT points to the table. mostly in the horrific nudity and geeky babes categories.
