I think Joss Whedon retained the rights, so thankfully if it comes back, he'll be the one to do it. The cast was one of the major reasons it was so good though, so I doubt we'll see any sort of revival, and I'm ok with that. I'm not 100% sure but I don't think Whedon owns any of the broadcast rights. I think the rights to the franchise break down as follows: 20th Century Fox owns all the TV rights to anything Firefly/Serenity related and released the original 14 episodes of Firefly that aired in 2002 on DVD. IIRC, there was a proposed MMO video game that was to be developed by the Multiverse Network based on a license that they bought from 20th century fox in 2006. Universal Studios owns the movie rights to anything Firefly/Serenity related and released the movie "serenity" in theaters and, on DVD and VHS. Sci-Fi purchased the re-run rights from 20th Century Fox. I think Whedon might retain publishing rights related to novelizations and comics. I know that Dark Horse comics released a three comic mini series that bridged the gap between the film and the series. The lack of publicity was part of a factor in Firefly not garnering a better reception. The network also aired several episodes out of order which didn't help the continuity at all. The DVD set has them in the right sequence and the show flows a LOT better. I never understood the fascination with the series. I thought it was moderately interesting but severely overhyped. Oh I hated the intro theme music - it is the most grating piece of crap I've ever heard. I hit the mute button every time It played. I believe Whedon intended for that to be the pilot episode for the series but the network objected and made the train heist the first aired episode. In the Browncoat documentary Joss Whedon said after getting the news that it was cancelled and he tried talking the execs out of it, he asked if he could have the showand they gave it to him. The head of Universal at the time was a fan of the series (Held viewing parties and everything) which was why they gave him a chance with the movie.

So seems now the moderate rebels are fighting the extremist ones now, more good news for Assad.

It doesn't help that they didn't air the pilot episode so many were a little put off by not having been introduced to the characters.

Wait, what do you mean the C&C was pretty damned good? I found that no matter my choices, everything turned out mostly the same. don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the game, but the C&C was not one of the high points.

As an aside, the 4 indian men who gang raped and murdered the girl on the bus andbeat her male friend half to death have been sentenced to death. -
If that game was trying to come off as Dragon Age with Witcher combat, it succeeded.

Mike is such a douche this season of Almighty Johnsons. For those of you who don't know what Almighty Johnsons is its a New Zealand show about a family of norse gods in New Zealand and their adventures when they find out their youngest brother is Odin. The norse gods took mortal form and were chased out of Scandinavia and found refuge in NZ, where they are reborn into new host bodies every generation when the offspring of a god and goddess turns 21. When Odin is reborn he must seek out Frig, because if he dies before finding her, hiswhole family dies, and if he finds her, the gods can re-enter Asgard and have their full powers restored.

The features on the blu-ray made me angrier because the writers and director actually thought they had done Khan right.
-
Star Trek Into Darkness. I really enjoyed it, but Benedict Cumberbatch was awful as Khan. Disnt look like him, didn't act like him, just really bad casting. Casting whitey mcwhite as an Indian was kind of a **** move too.

Whatever your opinion of Lee, whether he took half the credit for Kirby's work(Which is what Kirby claimed in the 90s I believe) or was one half of a dynamic duo, Marvel wouldn't have been Marvel without Stan Lee. Watched Green Hornet today, enjoyed it. Seth Rogen and the guy who played Kato had good chemistry I thought, and I love villains that are horribly deadly and dangerous but don't act it, like the Mayor in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
-
Yeah, that was Jack Kirby's story too. I guess it was too unflattering to put in the doc? It just said he applied for the job and got it.
-
With Great Power: The Stan Lee Story, a documentary about Stan Lee. I was glad they spent a lot of time talking about Jack Kirby. They left out some important stuff though, like how his uncle was the EIC or whatever for timely, which is how he got the job.

Cloud Atlas At first it just seemed a jumbled mess, but as it went on and the editing started making sense and the story started to click together I enjoyed it more and more andby the end when everything had played out and all the connections made sense I had decided it was one of the best movies I have seen. Its really a beautiful piece of work.

Reconciling different perspectives on grieving
Oerwinde replied to alanschu's topic in Way Off-Topic
When I lost my grandfather to lung cancer it had been a long drawn out thing, so when he went, while I was very sad, I was comforted by the fact that he wasn't suffering anymore, so I didn't really show anything outwardly and got some criticism for it. What really sucked is that I was trying to move past it and everyone's constant sympathies kept bringing it back up and it just made me angry with everyone for showing they cared for my feelings, which just made me feel like a ****. -
Time has a wonderful way of making differences irrelevant. There are tons of examples in history where two sides eventually unite for the greater good. It's already happened in the US. We have a bunch of non-denominational mosques in my area alone. that's what happens when you live in a country where its illegal to kill people because they are a different faith rather than it being encouraged.Because that worked so well in northern Ireland.In fact thorough most of western history persecuting religious minorities was a favorite community past-time. I think Northern Ireland is a little different in that the Protestents were largely seen as invaders rather than just being a schism in an existing group, or in the case of North America, being a place opressed minorities fled to. At this point both sides should just suck it up. The catholic Irish have their own country, Northern Ireland voted to stay part of the UK, if the catholics can't learn to live with it, move to Ireland, and both sides need to stop antagonizing each other.

From what I gather from the trailer, his classic suit is just slightly better than the 80s original, a little bulky, etc. The black suit is more "tactical" with his weapons in his arms instead of stored in his legs and such. And the Black... what do you expect when you ask Batman for colour scheme.

He's saying the Israeli claim to Israel is a fraud because its based on the claim of ancestral habitation, but the majority of the jewish population of Israel is ashkenazi or ashkenazi descent, who are descendents of Khazar or European converts, not the original hebrew inhabitants of judea/ysrael/palestine/whatever.

Technically a semite is someone who speaks a semitic language as their mother tongue, of which hebrew is. So while some jews are semitic, not all are.

Gonna have to agree with Volourn. I had no issues, and I was able to zoom out. Wasn't top down, but good enough.

You would think if they were going to try to be as real as possible they would have looked into LA Noire's facial animation tech.
