Popcorn Picnic, a ‘weekly cartoon movie review’ tackles Serenity via George Lucas, tongue firmly in cheek. I do have to wonder just how much hate mail Chris Shadoian has gotten over it. But hey, I’m amused. (via Whedonesque)
Our Other Master (Whedon) Speaks!
Empire Magazine is so much like us. They appreciate the great entertainment we do; most recently, Serenity.
They recently scored an exclusive interview with our other master: Joss Whedon; creator of Buffy (and Spike), Angel and Firefly.
In short:
1. Serenity didn’t set the box office ablaze. He’ll never rule it out, but it doesn’t look likely we’ll see another film in the series.
2. Wonder Woman is still in progress. He’s unsure whether his new horror film “Goners” will come out, first.
3. The rumored Spike film is still a possibility; if he can get some financing together. (Anyone up for a giant bake sale?)

I’ll cut off your other hand, you pansy
Joss Whedon and Warren Ellis star in Flame War, a debate of epic proportions.
Joss Whedon rocks the snark
His response to the latest Firefly/Serenity rumor is way better than the actual rumor.
Oh, and there’s some stuff about Wonder Woman, too.
Browncoats to close
Browncoats will close on January 6, 2006.
An email to members reads:
Browncoats,
We have done the impossible, and that makes us mighty!
Serenity was the #1 DVD upon its release! This was a huge success that would not have happened without the support and dedication of The Browncoats. On behalf or Universal, I would like to thank you all for everything you have done to promote Serenity.
It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you that on January 6, 2006, The Browncoats will shut down. We have had some wonderful times over these 19 months: met people from around the world, had interesting discussions about Serenity and every topic under the sun on the message boards, had lots of laughs (
Rumor: Serenity sequel?
Whedon’s people deny it, but IGN is claiming that Universal has given the go-ahead for low-budget sequel to Serenity. The film would be broadcast on the Sci-Fi Channel or possibly go straight to DVD.
And while we’re on the subject, Serenity hand puppet theatre.
Joss Whedon: Like Luke Skywalker, in a way
This interview with Joss on Star Trek and Star Wars and their effect on Firefly and Serenity is all sorts of cute:
Whedon: There’s always the young punk rebelling against his father.I’m rebelling against Han Solo, but if you are going to tell me that Han Solo isn´t the father of Malcolm Reynolds, then I am going to laugh and laugh and laugh.
He then goes on to say:
At the same time, I owe both of those franchises a huge debt. They are both in my personal, how can they not be? It’s that classic thing : I’m rebelling against my father and doing everything he doesn’t do, but I think I look like him.

Mal sure is one hot… mama?
There seems to be some confusion at the company making the “Serenity” action figures, because last time I checked Mal wasn’t a B cup.

Chris Doyle of Reasonably Clever builds a LEGO Serenity and documents the process quite throughly. He even made the crew.
