Good going as our eyes and ears, bad2verse!
Love the photos.
It's wonderful to have the 'coats so well
represented. Wish I were among 'em, but it
was not to be. (cue pathetic little "snif")

Security keeps having to break them up.. everytime you see a bunch of flash bulbs going off and it's ALL men takin the pics, You know what's on the floor in front of the crowd, and what they're doin!

Hopefully I'll catch Tristan and company at the wash wake in a bit... More later.

Fantastic pictures, B2V, hope you keep them coming!

Does there seem to be more Browncoats than in years past? I've never gone to Dragon*con (other side of the country from me), but I've looked at pictures of the parade and such from other years, and to my untrained eye, it sure looks like more Browncoats this year.

bad2verse, let me express deep appreciation for
your faithful reporting. It would be much too
easy to get so involved in the festivities that
all good intentions about staying in touch with
Those Left Behind (heh) go up in smoke.

I love the photos. What a crowd of shiny
browncoats. Parasols, hats, Mal-hair,
Zoes...impressive.

"No Problem, I'm dead anyway"..

Awww, don't you just love him? Was he at the
Wake or did he have to stay away?

~~~~~~~~~from Summer~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She said when she found out about "The Box scene"
she went to the Gym EVERY NIGHT for Weeks
because she has just a little bit of a belly)..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
No wonder she asked Joss, "Did I look fat?" when
they got her out of the box. Charisma Carpenter
(Cordelia from BtVS) says in a current interview
that when she found out her first appearance in a
new series involved a pool and a bathing suit she
ran straight for the gym. The camera is cruel.

Have good Con!

Hey, all. Reporting in from the Con. We've been to 2 Q&A's with Alan & Summer. They're both very funny, Alan a little more so, as Summer hates public speaking. Met them both at the Walk of Fame, and they couldn't have been nicer or more gracious. At the panel today, Alan raved about the lanyard we made him. It was a kick to hear it, and see him wearing it.

Our lanyards have been a big hit...far bigger than we had ever imagined. Next year we plan on having a table, and closer to 1000. It's been crazy!

It's crowded, the waits for the elevators are insane, and masses of unwashed nerds are everywhere. We love it here!!!

"something they said HINTED at an accidental slip of the tongue about Firefly or Serenity.... But I'm not gonna say what it is until my brain calms down from the over load so I am sure to get it EXACTLY as Wash said it, Cause river cut him a "look" after he said it, and they RUSHED on."

OMG, the suspense is killing us. If they are in the process of trying to get studios to fund things, it's probably best if they don't talk about it. It's just that more Firefly or Serenity gets us soooo excited.

"I love my Captain."

The Hyatt Elevators are SWAMPPED.. Just tried to get NEAR "The Shindig", aint happening, Line starts at the down escalator, hugs the wall toward the back of the building, goes BEHIND he escalator wall, up the far wall, across the back wall, down the side wall, back across the front wall, and into the Shingdig room.. Wash and/or River must be in there, and they told me that they were only letting 200 more people through.. there was about 400 people in line already... I left.

Wash seems to be much like he is on the Series, Funny and outgoing... and Summer is very shy and self depreciating.. says she doesn't have the acting abilities of "real actors", etc.

At the "discussion" (The one with the Projector screens hanging up in centenial 1-3) Notice Some one asked Wash if he'd read the books (From the writer that was tasked to novelize the scripts).. earlier he said they'd ALL signed on to a 3 movie contract originally... and then later when asked if he'd read the Books, Summer said she'd read one, and Wash asked if he was in them... Then Everyone said "YES!" he said "Oh Good, Maybe I'll be working on them then.. and then Summer cut him "that look" and they rushed on.... made me think about Everyone talking about the Non-Disclosure Agreements They'd all signed so much yesterday at the Miranda trial.

I've seen your Neck Lanyards EVERYWHERE!!! Seems almost Everyone has one (I brought my Own :(

Seems like EVERY princess Leah has the cloth strip down the front and back (From the "Return of the Jedi movie where she's Jaba the Hut's slave), and NONE of them are wearing underware, and it's WINDY.

Did you see the two Porn Women that got busted today for posing in "Sexual Positions" with each other? They got a warning the first time, but later they had put on little dresses and pulled them up and were REALLY acting them out for everyone with Cameras, and they got arrested.

It's been Wild.

He was coming OUT of the Wash Wake As I was in line to go in, He was cutting across the line when I was stepping forward and we ran into each other.

He's MUCH thinner than he looks on The shows, so I didn't recognize him at first.

He's VERY funny.. listening to them today was like Watching them act, he's hilarious... And river Busted on him a few times also (About who was the worst at speaking Chinese, she was jerking her head sideways at him IMMEDIATELY)

A LOT of the stars from various shows are just strolling around, and most people don't recognize them because they are Thinner and/or shorter.

one of the people at my Table said Wash was taller than Mal (Wash LOOKS to be just a little shorter than my 6 feet in person), and you think (Subconsciously) that Mal is taller.

I know Frodo's double is a LITTLE guy!!!! (He was at the table right behind ours at the awards ceremony)

Everyone is bummed that Adam Baldwin canceled at the last second :(

"Ellen Tighe" is really nice.. she was just wandering around in a knitted Shawl when I saw her. She's (again) MUCH slimmer than she looks on the show, and MUCH shorter.

Were they in the Hyatt lobby? There were two chicks down there around 7 or 7:30, "posing" (I'm too lady like to say anything harsher. LOL), and having all the guys take their picture. Hmmmm...funny that not one woman was interested. Heh.

Did you happen to catch the guy that was dressed as Stewie from Family Guy last year? He'd kneel down, and had speakers in the Stewie head where he'd play clips from his IPod. This year, he's been seen as Pirate Stewie! What a riot.

As I said, I can't believe the response we've gotten about our lanyards. Our made stock was depleted by almost 2/3 on THURSDAY NIGHT. The Con had not even started yet! Glad we've got ordering on our website. We'll have to start referring folks there. For you guys not here, Alan's lanyard says "I Was Fired From A Fry Cook Opportunity". He picked the phrase himself, and his will be the only one with that saying we make. Seems only fair.

Two more days to go!! Maybe I'll actually make it into the exhibit hall tomorrow.

THOSE two.. they were doing it about 4 oclock the first time.. I heard they were doing it again later (Prolly when you saw them at 7:30, Right at the sweeping stair cases?)... but then they got busted later after that.. they'd changed into that "School girl with the short skirts" look.. and had the skirts up back in a corner, with Guys crammed in with Cameras 20 deep.

He was slapping the table with it like it was a whip in the centenial rooms and threatened Summer with it once :) He said "Someone" had given it to him earlier.. I have Video of him taking it off and slapping the table :)

Chindi (waves Hi back to FollowMal)

I posted just now.. combining what the writer said yesterday (They know about stuff WAY in advance, but have to act like they don't because of Non-Disclosure-Agreements they ALL have to sign)... and they can't talk or even hint.. So I think what he said (I posted it above) was a genuine slip.

Also yesterday the Writer Said "Book" was either a former operative or a Member of Parliment, Joss Hadn't decided yet which when they were canceled... I overheard him telling another woman that he "Obviously" worked with that they decided they could change something because "Book" (I can never remember his real name unless I hear it, but he used it) might not be available so that the "Operative" could take his place (In the book the operative wears glasses that have data scrolling down the inside of the lenses, but they didn't do it in the movie.... but the "Temp-type" (Or something of the sort, SMALL changes can be made, but no major changes) was set so they couldn't change it in the book because it was too much change for the typesetters since he'd talked about the glasses in so many different places)... Since they're already writing the books, why would he say that unless it was about a MOVIE? (YES! I was evesdropping!!)

Summer and Allan Said today that they couldn't change a WORD of the script when Joss was directing, But that Tim Minier (SP?) let them make changes or improvise)... One of them didn't want Wash Wearing that Moustash in "out of Gas", and he really wanted to wear one, so he called up to the script room and they agreed FINALLY to let him wear it... then he showed up to do the scene and they told him he COULDN'T wear it, and he told the make up guy to to put it on him anyway, and the director was saying HE liked it while the producer was saying he didn't.. but after it was filmed Everyone loved it to make wash look "Younger" (They'd asked them each what they'd do to make themselves look a few years (4?) younger).

MUCH more, but you get the point.

I have had the same question at Pennsic. I'd think more of the pinch but I could be wrong. That and thinking it must be a mite bit cold as well which makes the pinching thing a bit more of an issue.

If you get a chance, tell River that she has the most amazing range of an actress I've seen, and can handle the role of an emotionally-challenged young woman with great aplomb and believability.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~snip~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was coming OUT of the Wash Wake
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Oh, DUH! (slaps forehead) Reading too fast and misread it as wash room. Well, it was a kind of Wash room.

The hugeness of the Shindig as reported is truly amazing. I think the organizers must have been taken by surprise, as it seemed they only got started on it at the last minute and must not have expected such a response. There is a bigger venue available for it next year?

Miscellaneous info follows:

"Book" was played by the wonderful Ron Glass, who loves the part and would not likely be voluntarily unavailable. Hope there isn't a health issue.

"The Operative" (Chiwetel Ejiofor) had data scrolling inside his glasses in a deleted scene. I wonder if that was what the author was talking about, rather than a future project.

But I still like to get my hopes up.

Alan insists he is as tall as Gina, but not as tall as Nathan, who is listed at 6'1''-plus. Our fangirls who've had their photos taken with Nathan say he's quite tall, but Alan not so much.

Sleep fast and have more good con tomorrow. Eat your greens! Take your showers!

Keep those great reports coming, bad and Boomer, and anyone else.

Is this possably a hint about new line of Firefly/Serenity novelisations beyond the original scripts?
There has been some hints on other threads that the suits have only been waiting for the DVD sales to reach a certain level before `greenlighting` this and now that Serenity has won both the Hugo and Nebula awards......

Sunday, September 3, 2006 2:37 PM

This is my take on the Shindig: First, my husband and I did manage to get in. The line was unbelievable. It was a smallish room, looked like it could only fit around 300 or so. Half of the room had tables, with games (chinese checkers, etc.) and small bottles of bubble fluid. The other half was crammed with standing people, which I took to be on the dance floor. 2 bartenders this year, which was good. The costume contest had 70 entrants, so the music didn't even start until after 11:30 or so. I'm not sure who the first band was, but the The Bedlam Bards did play after midnight sometime.

A couple of folks into the contest, we decided to take our leave. My head was killing me, hubby's back was about to go out...we're just not as young anymore. It was extremely crowded (the line wasn't any shorter when we left), and we couldn't really see any of the costumes. (I both priase and curse the digital camera age. Never seen so many cameras raised in the air before.) I imagine the thing was going until dawn, or close to. For only having a week to plan, Serenity and her minions did a fantastic job. Wish I would have felt better to enjoy it.

D*C note: While waiting in line, we saw a most unusual sight (heh, one of many). Imagine a guy that's dressed as a stormtrooper from the neck down, and the King from Burger King from the neck up, complete with cape. Most weird.

I can't believe that both Bad2 and I forgot to share this incident:

During the first panel on Friday, Nathan called Alan. He was looking at his phone and said, "Everyone, say hello to Cap'n Tightpants". Needless to say, the place went wild. Alan put him on speaker phone so all of us could listen in. The two of them together are a riot, and Alan says that's pretty much how they always are, shootin' the shit, giving each other grief. It was very exciting, especially for us that have never seen/met Nathan in person.

Keep those notes coming.. we are all enjoying being there,,, virtually anyway.

BTW Alan is a bit taller than I am (met him at Flan) so taller than 5'7 but not much. Nathan is indeed 6' plus...

Alan did say that Joss assured him--should there be another movie--that both Wash & Book would be in it. Today, he said something to the effect that they haven't been told "definitely no" on another movie. Hmmmm.....

Oh, and neither he nor Summer knew about winning the Hugo award. It was hi-larious to see them so stupified. Alan said, "Guess I owe Joss a call".

I have some .avi clips that I'll post a link to when I get home. The files are big (around 40MB), the camera is still being figured out, the shots are of the big screen, and you'll have to turn your sound WAY up. Other than that, Speilberg's got nuthin' on our filming skills.

Oh, and Alan keeps wearing our lanyard! It's such a visceral thrill to see....

A BIG shout out to all of the Dragon Con reporting. It really makes a difference when you are sitting at home wishing you had sold your car so you could go but knowing you needed your car to go to work. My car is probably older than Serenity but it knows I love it so it keeps on flying.

A BIG shout out to all of the Dragon Con reporting. It really makes a difference when you are sitting at home wishing you had sold your car so you could go but knowing you needed your car to go to work. My car is probably older than Serenity but it knows I love it so it keeps on flying.

Yes, lanyards, please!

And, I second that shout-out! It's right shiny what y'all are doing for those of us stuck at home, and we sure do appreciate it!

Wow, thank you for the response! You can order a lanyard at our website below. There are roughly 150+ sayings that you can order, listed by episode. We accept paypal. We won't be home until Tuesday night sometime, and need a day or two to recup. Any orders will be shipped out no later than next Monday (the 11th).

Thanks!

PS--The Masquerade was painful to watch this year. *sigh* Too much crap, not enough fun. The grand winner overall, though, was a ballerina who dressed as the hippo from Fantasia and danced with a stuffed alligator. That was a cute one, as well as the Stormtrooper Janitors. When I get my DVD, I'll post stills.

BTW, Just saw that Guy with the storm Trooper Uniform, wearing a Burger King Head (More like a BIG Partial wrap around mask)

Also Saw a storm trooper wearing a Jayne Hat on his storm trooper helmet :) AND saw another storm trooper wearing a Jamaican Hat with dred-locks hanging out of it.

And I don't know WHAT some of these folks are supposed to be... I think they just wait all year to cross-dress or be super freaky... And what's with all the "little school girl with their underwear showing" costumes? Anime or something, but it seems popular (For the ones wearing that much clothing ;)

I keep running into Ellen Tighe from BSG, and Jason from TAPS (Ghost Hunters).. Jason's lost a LOT of weight.. haven't seen Grant much, he lays low in his hotel room I think.

According to "The Daily Dragon" this was Summer's First trip to Ga, and her first Dragon*Con.. She wanted to come because all the other cast kept telling her it was the biggest coolest Con in the world, and she says she LOVES the South.. more than LA. It seems the Cast STILL keeps in close touch with each other, and are all good friends.

For those of you that haven't seen "Done the imposible", It's a MUST SEE... Everyone interviewed tells it like it is, no punches pulled.. and Joss says He begged F*X for the show back, and they gave it back to him to shop it around.. so It sounds like if another channel will pick it up, he could run with it.

It has a HUGE female audience, and it's growing BIGGER by the month, and That's EXACTLY what Hammer of Sci-fi wants to see! I "Assume" someone has put a copy of "Done the impossible" in her hands... if they haven't, it needs to be done, cause there are LOTS of females in it (Prolly more females than males).. seems someone else did their homework on Hammer also.. GOOD JOB!

Also, The South Eastern BorwnCoats have done a GREAT joB here at the Con this year, and have put a LOT of material directly into the hands of AT LEAST Summer and Allan.

She says she can Identify with "A broken heart" or "Family problems", but she can't identify with the emotional trauma and abuse (Etc etc) that River went through, so she has never felt up to the part of playing River.

She said She walked around and thought about depressing things a LOT to get into her "Role", because she couldn't just "Step in and out of characters" like the other actors seemed to be able to do.

BTW, Mythbuster's Torey and Cari Were late getting to the Con because the tail section of their Jet caught on fire and they had to make an emergency landing...they SWEAR they didn't do it :)

I have a couple of pictures that hubby took of me and the two of them. They're holding the mugs that we made for them, and we asked their permission to post them on our website, which they both graciously gave.

In addition, we talked to Erin Gray (Buck Rogers/Silver Spoons infamy), who nowadays is in the management business. She's going to help us get addresses for the other cast members to get their mugs to them (via manager, agent, etc.). How cool is that? She was extraordinarily nice.

We're still in Atlanta. After last year, we decided to stay until Tuesday to avoid the check-out crush. When we get home, I'll post a link to the pics on our site, as I can't figure out how to put them here. LOL.

I've dealt with a LOT of actors over the years, and most of them are "Nice", as long as they are "Smoozing the public"... but the cast (and crew) from FF/Serenity are GENUINELY good people.. they don't have to fake it, I've never met a "Whole Cast" that was as "genuinely friendly" as this cast is... they WANT to help.

Quote:

THAT is the truth, the Highways were a total Crush.. traffic was moving along OK on 85 North and South, and 20 West (Dunno about the other routes), but there were a LOT of people sitting on the side of the road, with Police keeping traffic moving very well (Considering) and keeping the "Looky loo's" and "Rubber neckers" moving along.

Be glad you waited, While traffic was moving pretty smooth, it was still a CRUSH of Bumper to bumper vehicles, and scary at times!

Okay, so it turns out this is actually my first time posting on this board even though I've been registered for several months. I just got back from the Con and it was amazing. There were Browncoats EVERYWHERE (if I met any of you there, I was the one with the nametag that said "Buffy" with "yes, this is my real name" because well, it is my real name). This was my first con and I was very impressed with both Alan and Summer. Alan is just hysterically funny, and Summer was funny, too. I was in the con suite when Alan dropped by and read Wash's eulogy. That was just an incredibly nice thing to do for his fans. In the autograph lines (which were insanely long for Alan and Summer--much longer than any other actor's), even after three days of signing, Alan was just as funny and gracious as he was on day one. Overall, I had a fantastic time, and am even more impressed with this fandom.

The panel with them on Sunday was hysterical, as the winner of the eulogy contest asked Alan to sign her copy (he'd read it the night before). Well, those of us who hadn't heard it badgered him into reading it, which he did.........while "editing" it! Yes, he actually wrote notes on it, like adding the line "sexy, sexy, sexy" and such. It was hysterical, and that lady now has an awesome souvenir of D*C.

I'd sure like to hear that tape, because that it is not what Alan said. Alan said that if there *were* more movies, both Wash and Book would be there. Then there was speculation on how, prequel or what, someone suggested evil twin and so forth. He never and I repeat never said that there would be more movies definitely. Only that if there were, both Book and Wash would be in them. Alan was very low key and hesitant to say there was no news. Sorry to be the burster of bubbles, but that is not what was said.

BOOMERGOODHEART

Tuesday, September 5, 2006 9:47 AM

Yes, he didn't give anything truly positive, and did stress that Joss is working on Wonder Woman for the forseeable future. He did, however, say that they haven't been given a definite "no" to another movie. I would be far more disillusioned if he'd said that the studio had said "absolutely no more".

Everyone thought the 'Verse was dead after the cancellation, and look where we are today.

Tristan,

Saw you in the Hyatt's lobby, prepping for the Browncoat parade. I wanted to say hello, just to meet ya and to open discussions for the making of a swell deerskin browncoat to fit my skinny frame. Thought I'd save that for later, to let you have some space that morning. Since then, I heard via the grapevine that a family event cut short your D*C goodness, and I sincerely hope all is well on that score. Sorry I let an opportunity lapse. Still, let me know if you have any desire to produce any more Mal-coat goodness: I feel your work is first rate, and I would be honoured to commission a coat, at your convenience.

Jaynehats: Serenity (CMS) rocks! She sold out her entire inventory at D*C, and has outstanding orders for more! To wit, just 3 of the shiny examples at one of the Tudyk/Glau panels:

Note: there was an entire row of browncoats wearing the hats (toques, peeps, c'mon!), and I do recall that the start of the panel was somewhat delayed by the numbers of digicam bearing audience members taking pix of us who, in our row, were wearing the shiny accoutrements.

I was the one who got to give them the shirts and goodies from the SEBC on Sunday. We've given to the other stars in previous years. Our whole group was so brain dead from the Shindig the night before that none of us took pictures even after I looked at my camera while getting the stuff out of my bag! I am desperate to find any pics of that, or a video, as I saw several cameras going during the panel.

The Shindig had just as big a turn out as last year, if not bigger and we knew it would be HUGE. Daragon*con on the other hand didn't seem to get the hint after the lines last year and gave us a room for only about 100 people more than last time. The Southeastern Browncoats were contacted two weeks before the con and we were given the final ok about 9 days before the party was to happen. I think we did really well considering our lack of budget and time ^_^ It was a blast even with the technical difficulties. And we love that Dragon*Con gave us the opportunity!

We hope to at least split up the costume contest and party if they offer to let us have a shindig again next year.

Oh and on the costume contest front, a person in a serenity costume won it! It was awesome. Had blinking lights and was truly a great costume. The second place winner was a woman in a such kick-ass river costume, and the third place winner was a girl in a white dress. I don't know who that was supposed to be but the dress was beautiful. There were so many shiny entries in the costume contest and I'm so glad I got to be a part of it...now i need to find a pic of me eating the strawberry *grins* I was the only kaylee who did that and i think i did quite a shiny job. Even though I didn't win anything, I still had tons of fun.

Thanks so much! We were actually sitting in the way back with a few other SEBC people. I had a question I wanted to ask after I gave the shirts to Allan and Summer, but they said no that was my question. I was shaking so much after talking to them in front of so many people that my husband offered to ask my question for me and so he was in the question line down the middle aisle when he shouted that. He was the one who asked if they had taken anything from the sets. Sadly they weren't as sneaky as Jewel Nathan and Adam who told us all about the stuff they took.

Well Bad, I'm certainly not going to say you're wrong. Alan's phrasing was a bit curious. And we all want and hope for our Big Damn Trilogy. But it seems to me that you are stretching the evidence almost to the breaking point. There's a lot of 'if' coming off that chain of logic.

I hope I'm wrong, and you are right. If so, just remind me and I'll change my tagline to add "SEE? Bad2verse was right!!" for the following six months. But I'm going to wait for something a bit more solid to hang my hopes on.

BTW wasn't that panel GREAT!?!?! The ballroom was packed, Alan and Summer were fantastic. She actually started getting a little misty-eyed talking about how much she loves Sean. And "sexy, sexy sexy" Alan... I had to step away from my camera a few paces so it wouldn't pick up my laughing!

Sure. Spoil my fun.

Actually, thanks for all the above & beyond reporting, bad2verse -- and you as well BoomerGoodheart--you both rock!

Am feeling all happy & hopeful inspite of not having been able to go.

Tristan...sorry to hear you were unable to make the contest. Good thoughts to you and your wife.

Again, Sorry, I wish I'd filmed that, You'd know I wouldn't Film the ONE thing that should have been filmed.

Again, The S.E. Brown Coats did a GREAT job this year!!!!!!! (Or, "SeeeebCa", as Alan kept saying ;)

Heh yeah, me being a moron I was saying "No S.E.B.C." as he started saying it. I was so nervous. We didn't hear the end of it for the rest of the con. But it got us noticed!

I know who the lady with the eulogy is and I am sure she would love to have that video! I'll have to get in touch with someone who can contact her more directly than our mailing list but I'd like to have a copy too. She may be on here but I don't know. Thanks for checking your videos for me, maybe someone else out there has something. Let me know how would be best to transfer the file.

Don't forget "seeb-kah!". I can never say SEBC again without thinking seeb-kah!

And, of course, every time I think of Alan, I'll think "sexy, sexy, sexy". Of course, I thought that already.....

This year was, IMHO, way better than last year. And that's saying a lot because I had an amazing time last year!

Heather, I have that whole panel on video, including "Evil twin", and all the "Seebkuh" comments! I'm an amature, but was using a tripod and was against the left wall (facing the stage) by the exit doors closest to the stage, right behind the announcer's platform. It SHOULD turn out pretty well. Give me till this weekend, and I should have something I can send you, if you like. I have some video from the shindig, too, but not the costume contest. I was at The Signal's podcast recording session.

PS - THANK YOU!!!!! for all your hard work, and the rest of the Seebkuhs!

If you know the "Whole Picture", all the little things added up (And some things that have yet to be mentioned), it was the last piece that "Proved" to *me* that another film is going to come our way...

As people get tired and wear down they let more come out "By Accident"... I've been doing this sort of thing professionally for better than 25 years... and starting the convention fresh it was "I haven't heard anything".. to the point of pretending he didn't even know ANYTHING about a potential future.. then later in the weekend as he got tired, the story changed...

"When the story keeps changing, something there"

Again, we went from "I don't know anything about it" to "I've been told IF there is another movie, Wash and Book will be in it".. HUGE jump between the two, and added to the NDA statement (Why have an NDA when there's nothing to discuss? I ran NDA's by our Lawyer and She said they were usually for "Specific projects" and not "Far reaching" (As in saying, "You can't EVER say anything about these three movies until AFTER they are ALL done")... she said an NDA is usually "per project" (Movie, TV series, season, etc)).. So having an NDA says there's "Something" to be NOT discussed... and the guy doing the novelizations said he had an NDA also.

That's a whole lotta NDA's for something that's not happening ;)

But I think we're gonna see more coming out pretty soon, call it an "Informed opinion".

If I can cut the Sound out of the Video I took where he pretends not to know ANYTHING in the first panels, I'll post it also.. if you heard both clips side by side (or one after the other), You'd see EXACTLY what I mean.

DarkJester you are my new favorite person if you have me giving those shirts. And Shindig video footage would be good too! We got photos of each person in the contest which was the important part so not having video is ok. I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the shindig. We were all really stressed out about pulling it off!

To play Devil's Advocate... uh, no, not at all a jump between the two, because I'm pretty sure Alan was saying this exact same thing as soon as the movie came out - that Joss promised him that if there was another movie, Wash and Book would be in it some how.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love for your analysis to be correct and there to be another movie on the way, I just can't get my hopes up.

Hey, I think I met you. Did you go to the Hugh Laurie panel on the last day? If so, I was sitting beside you and you showed me that picture. If not, then someone else took a picture in which it looked like she was sitting in Summer's lap.

In the "I Met Morena and C..." thread. Some posters are saying... Morena said, During her intimate and interactive, she didn't think a sequel would be made because of poor box totals. And she is close to Joss (accepting the Hugo).

At the START of Dragon*Con... oh forget it.. Believe what you want. We've done MONTHS of research on this whole thing for an investment company before we found FFF.net, We know what we know, and I'm not defending it any further Here. When the next Movie is announced, just remember this thread.

Hey, Elizabeth (EngineAngel!) So, I was completely wrong about screenname on here. I do use "hobanw" on a couple of boards, but not this one, I guess.

Hey, here's hoping. I'm just trying to help you refine your arguments, because going from 'I haven't heard anything' to 'I've been told that if there is a movie, Book and Wash will be in it' is not an advancement in their position. It's merely a different way of stating already known information. It's no different than if _I_ said both that we don't know anything yet, and then later said that Tudyk has said that if there was a next movie, he would be in it. It doesn't mean I've come into more information, or that I'm slipping up and releasing information that I'd previously been tight-lipped about, it's merely me saying things that have already been said.

So if you use _that_ to advance your argument that there's something brewing, you're doing yourself a disservice, because it means nothing, and so convinces others you're talking to that you're making a lot out of nothing. The NDA argument is much stronger, so you should stick with that.
