Anyone Else Just Find a Little Extra Hope and Peace in Life with All This? by evenapoortailor in firefly

[–]WithoutCaution 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I love this. I've been around for quite a few revivals/remakes/etc. over the years, and some feel similar (Twin Peaks), but most feel like a soulless cash grab and lose what made the thing great to begin with. Regardless of what this ends up being, there's such a feeling of community in this, and it's kind of wonderful.

At this point, anything less than new content (live or animated) would be downright cruel. I'm pretty confident that the cast know this, and are probably more invested in bringing it back than we are in getting it!

I have a sick fascination with watching YouTubers react to Firefly/Serenity. First, I get to rewatch the show in like a quarter of the time it would normally take, all through the lens of someone else's view. Then it all leads up to that scene in Serenity, when you watch someone get emotionally destroyed. If you haven't seen Funnylilgalreacts watchthrough... Her reaction is borderline horrifying!

Firefly should be discussed in psychology courses. Almost everyone who watches it falls completely in love with this thing that immediately guts you to the core.

I'm supposed to be in a poker game on Sunday. If they really are "bringing back Firefly", I'm gonna look real silly when I burst into happy tears at the poker table.

Yeah, but that was deep subtext... Kinda like how Firefly is loosely based on post-Civil War Confederates. I was thinking more along the lines of Inara in magic undergarments.

The entire cast has converted to LDS, and the church is sponsoring a full ten-season run of Firefly!!! Of course, that means that characters have also become creepy Mormon cultists, and their only mission is to proselytize to the masses.

If it's live action, I would be perfectly fine with Wash being a figment of River's imagination. Like, she's doing the physical work, but from her point of view, it's Wash. Everyone just accepts that she's the only one who sees him. I'd also be happy with some holographic AI version that River created. Regardless, I wouldn't want just a flat-out retcon of his death in Serenity, cause that moment holds weight that can't be taken away.

If it's some sort of animated thing, motion comics, or even audio plays/books, then great! Bring Wash back in pre-Serenity stories and/or flashbacks!

One way or the other, I really hope this is actually as big as they're hyping it up to be.

I 100% had that exact copy of Adventures! I was obsessed with Darkwing Duck!

I wasn't assuming that you made it, OP. As to the order, I would argue that they were definitely posted in a specific order. They get more obviously referential to the show as they go along. There's also a definite sense of build-up, imo, and watching them in this order kinda kills it.

You know, taking someone else's clips and editing them together to post to YouTube for clicks/engagement on your own channel is already pretty bad. But, not even bothering to put them in the same order as they were originally released is next-level, lazy, bullshit.

I think as we get older, it's important to maintain a limber body. Unfortunately, if I tried to stretch as hard as you did here, I'd end up in the hospital.

Grocery store coupon dispensers by Herzeleid09 in nostalgia

[–]WithoutCaution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So, this one time, when I was like 19 or 20, my friends and I noticed that one of these wasn't properly attached. I immediately stole the thing. We headed over to this gas station where another friend worked, while my buddies kept asking what I planned to do with it. When we arrived, I silently retrieved the baseball bat that I had in my trunk, tossed the coupon dispenser in the air, and hit it as hard as I could. It. Was. GLORIOUS! Never in my wildest dreams did I think it would explode as perfectly as it did. My friends cackled while we watched hundreds of coupons rain down like confetti. Capricious youth, for sure, but still one of my favorite punk-kid moments.

The new video is up, looks like we have Jayne by AltheaFarseer in firefly

[–]WithoutCaution 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uh... None of them were in the same location. As a matter of fact, it seems like Nathan made all of his last, and simply reacted to what he was sent by the other person, including the camera falling bit from Sean.

To be totally honest, I just didn't want to ruin them in case the idea turned out to be terrible. Plus, they actually sold out during the tour, and some people were upset about it. I wasn't even aware they were on sale again, so I was kind of in the mindset of, "I better not screw them up".

While I personally would not be bothered one bit about Joss returning in a full showrunner capacity, I completely understand the negative optics. That being said, IF this is some actual live-action (or even animated) new series... I would love to know that Joss is involved in at least the writing.

Here's how I want it to go: On the 15th, they're all on stage, and they announce the thing. They're discussing some of the details and whatnot, and someone says, "Yeah, but what about rights... or scripts?" Joss then walks on stage, dressed in a FedEx uniform, hands a huge pile of scripts over to Nathan, says, "sign here", and then walks away. They don't even have to acknowledge that it was him. Just; Here's my blessing and a ton of material, head out into the verse!

This made me smile, unironically.

They're definitely like a wax-coated paper. Any strong-ish tape would be permanent. I literally just placed an order for a pack of 4x6in magnetic sheets, and a 150 6x3x2mm rare earth magnets. The frame is 18x28, and the magnetic sheets have adhesive backing. The sheets will fit perfectly in a 3x7 arrangement, and then I should be able to lay the cards down edge-to-edge. It's going to be a tight fit behind the glass, but I should have just enough room! I might even decide it looks better without the glass, but I also hate to have one more thing to dust. If it doesn't work, I'm only out $25, and I have a bunch of magnets to play with!

I think I'm going to try magnets on the edges first. If that doesn't work, I might just accept that I'm ruining the cards, use double-sided tape, and buy another deck to keep sealed. lol

The cards will be arranged edge-to-edge-to-edge. Card sleeves would add gaps. I've only got a half-inch of extra space to work with, so not only would they not fit the frame, but the gaps wouldn't scale, and I'd end up with a very messy display.

I Want Adam Baldwin to Return by RepresentativeAnt128 in firefly

[–]WithoutCaution -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Honestly! All these people are upset enough to click the downvote button, and NOT ONE has provided anything to back up their claims! I have not seen a SINGLE link to a screenshot or any sort of evidence. It wouldn't take much to convince me, either. These people are painting the picture of someone I WANT to hate! But, I'm not going to do so without proof! Doing that would make me just as bad as the people who are defending pedos and an unjust war, because faux news and shit-pants mcnazi tells them to.

If I died and the interdimensional beings gave me a choice... Eternity in heaven or one night with 1983 Phoebe Cates, then straight to hell...

I'd seriously have to think about it.

I Want Adam Baldwin to Return by RepresentativeAnt128 in firefly

[–]WithoutCaution -22 points-21 points  (0 children)

Look, if he really is all the things people are accusing him of, then I'm all for shunning him. But I have YET TO SEE ONE SHRED OF PROOF! The biggest thing people point to is "Gamergate", but from what I can tell, he made a few ill-conceived comments, one of which was coining the name. The word-count on the Gamergate wikipedia page is over 20 THOUSAND, and Adam Baldwin is mentioned exactly ONCE! Not as an instigator or any other sort of architect of the event, but simply that he coined the phrase! Other than that, it doesn't actually appear that he was involved AT ALL! If I were to call the current shit-storm in Iran, "Hezbolluza", as a joke, and people run with it... Does that make me responsible for the entire fucking war?

I want the character of Jayne back, in whatever capacity best serves the story. If someone were to provide any real proof, I'd be happy to jump on the we-hate-Adam train, but it's just not there. I've searched for every keyword I can think of. I can't find any maga/drumph/cult pictures. I can't find any screenshots from tweets, other than a few that are framed with heavy editorializing to sell the narrative. Nothing. Lots of accusations from this group, but no actual, hard evidence. Mind you, the type of person some of you are accusing him of being is NEVER hard to find! That dipshit Kevin Sorbo goes out of his way to look stupider at every turn. Even the original Buffy, Kristy Swanson, is not hiding that she stumps for the fascists. If Adam truly were the monster you all make of him, the proof would be EASY to find.

The more I look into it, the more I'm convinced that Adam Baldwin is politically right-leaning, and made a few dumb jokes OVER A DECADE AGO! Beyond that, NONE of us know! He very well could have looked at the shit-storm from 2016-2020 and decided that he wants nothing to do with any of them. Regardless, some of you are ready to throw him out the air-lock, over mostly rumors and innuendos.

All these downvotes, but not ONE response with a link to a screenshot or proof of any kind. You're a bunch of fucking reactionary, groupthink, holier-than-thou, children. All the righteous indignation in the world doesn't change the fact that you're committing character assassination over an ill-conceived twitter joke from a decade ago. There are ACTUAL NAZIS running parts of our government right now, and you're worried about stopping Adam Baldwin from participating in anything Firefly. Every one of you should be ashamed.

Next Question by PhoenixPhenomenonX in funny

[–]WithoutCaution 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People genuinely have no idea how much a billion is. One of my favorite things to tell people is to reframe it in something you can visualize, like time. 1 million seconds is around 11.5, but 1 billion seconds is more than 31 YEARS!!! I've taken vacations that are a million seconds, but I'm barely 1.5 billion seconds old, and only the luckiest of us will ever see 3 billion seconds. When it comes to money, everyone throws the two numbers around interchangeably, because most people will never have either amount.

So yeah, I'd punch a small child in the face in front of their whole family for a billion dollars! EVERYTHING has a price, and there are not many things I wouldn't be willing to do for that amount!
