River6213... you are a sycophant. One with too much money. You defend the indefensible. Yes, of course, those actors are never paid enough. They deserve all the money they can squeeze, bleed, and suck out of their loyal fans. It is, after all, our duty. Pay homage to the gods.

Ya know... in both ancient Greece and later in ancient Rome, actors were always the first to be slaughtered as fraudulent supporters of a phony elite during revolutions. And they always reached such dubious destinctions from a legacy that was honorable and respectable. In the aftermath of those revolts, the acting profession was always treated as the lowest form of life for one to pursue. You were a "whore of the lowest order" to be one such person. But the lesson was quickly forgotten after the destruction, and the actors always rose again, only to face the same fate.

History is repeating itself again and again and again.

Quit trying to crush my hope.

Has Xergravity always been this negative?
I'm going to follow suit with some of the people here and ignore you.

Wow. You sure must be superior to us all, what with your remarkable ability to call people names for going to an event that you think is a rip-off.

Honestly, who the *fuck* do you think you are?


You go on to relate this convention, somehow, to the "studio gestapo {sic}" that killed Firefly. Are you referring to Fox, here? Or what? Because I fail to see the correlation.

XG - don't presume to know a damn thing about a single person here. 'Cause you don't.

The rest of y'all, eh, see ya December 10th

Yeah, hope I won't be missing anything by skipping out Friday; couldn't afford to go all three days (well, I really can't afford to go at all..but I figure, I'm 1000 dollars in debt already; what's another 700? I mean, if you're gonna be poor, you might as well do it in style). Plus, I've never been to Cali, so I wanted some time to explore the reigon...I figure I'll hit Hollywood and Beverly Hills, since they're the two places I've heard of =)

Not really sure what all's going down at the convention - never been to anything of the like before - but I figure, if I get to see the coolest eight people from the show, it should be worth the cash. I'm staying at the Hilton both nights, so, maybe I'll even run into one of 'em on the 'vator, as previously suggested. That'd be pretty neat.

Yeah, question for any Los Angelosians - is the subway a good way to travel? I figure it'd be within my price range - it's either that, the bus, or walkin' (taxis are to rich for my blood, and a rental car isn't an option for my friends and I - none of us are 25).

A Meaningless Rant

I'm going to go to the convention, but I'm feeling a little annoyed by this whole thing. I suspect that the only reason we got a movie was just so Joss could afford doing Wonder Woman (he better not screw that up by the way) and I really dont think it has anything to do with what we want....not at all.

Please forgive me for sounding so negative, but that's just how I feel right now about this whole thing; I actually wish I never heard of Firefly/Serenity.

The only reason I'm going to the convention is to see the actors up close; to see if there is a little bit of the characters from the show within their real personalities, to see if I like them as much as I liked their characters.

I know I'm going to be disappointed, but this is something I've got to get out of my system.

Now the big task when I go is not to act like a complete geeked-up fan when I get there, and I have to keep in mind that these actors have heard it all before from other conventions, so my telling them I really liked the characters that they played is only going to get me a plastic smile and thoughts of "Does this person even have a life?"

And the meaningless rant continues...

This is also going to be very expensive, because I want everything, so these actors are going to make a bundle off of me, and they wont even remember me, and all I get to take home with me is a whole bunch of photographs and signatures, and a bad feeling within my heart that I am seriously stepping off the deep end. The actors will go back to their hotels laughing at all of us, and counting their money...this is the sad and pathetic part about all of this.

And the meaningless rant continues...

I watched this interview of the woman who played lovable Kaylee, and I came to the conclusion that I don't like the real person, I liked the character she plays, but I dont like her. She seemed so condscending and pretentious in the interview and it surprised me a little; she must be a good actress because she made me believe that she was nice and loveable, while in real life she's a total A.W.G.

And the meaningless rant continues...

In every photograph that I see of Summer Glau, she's wearing this "hey, I'm a star" look on her face, and all the other actors look hungover all the time...its really starting to get to me.

* I think I'm going crazy *

One final thing. During the interview, on the Firefly the Complete Series DvD with Ron Glass, why the hell was he laughing so much? It made you want to slap him.

With that I'm going back to bed and hope to never wake up.







Oh leave me alone...

I think the FF cast would probably be nothing like their onscreen personalities in RL. They're just acting. Sadly, I think most of them will probably be opposite the characters they played.
