Ooh! Look at the pretties! This blog operates as kind of a digest of castmembers’ posts from something called the “original board” and also from the Fireflymovie.com fan site. It points to yet ANOTHER blog that is hosted on the official SerenityMovie site. It’s a mite confusing keeping all the kinblogs and message boards straight but if you’re a fan of Joss Whedon’s short-lived Firefly television series (and soon-to-be Big Damn Movie coming to a theater near you), you’ll have to read it all.
I don’t know who’s doing it, but I hope they got permission for all the reposts… on the other hand, it’s a lot more readable this way. Hope things don’t get messy with henchmen minions and torture and bad (very bad) hats.
Later on, I’m going to have to download something called “The Message of Bonny Portmore” (a fan produced video of some kind) from FireflyFans.net. “Bonnie Portmore” is a classic Celtic song that is best known from renditions by Loreena McKennit on “The Visit,” or by a singer called Laura Creemer on a Highlander: The Series episode called “Homeland.”
Why? Well, short version: I got married in Boulder to the strains of “Bonnie Portmore,” played by a local Celtic group called Colcannon, because it was a beautiful song and it had a Highlander connection, and of course getting married was all because of the stupid Highlander show, and several people who had been at the Highlander convention when David and I met were there, and yadda Highlander blah blah Highlander show’s over Highlander why are we still talking about this old Highlander show? And all the Highlander fans cried when they heard the song start, and all the non-fans said “Oh, this is a pretty song.” Heh. And that was the short version.
SO… all I’m saying is that stupid television shows sometimes have the damnedest consequences on peoples’ real lives, and I can see that there are a lot of people all working together to keep fan interest high for the Serenity movie, and it’s a cool and good thing to see that fans actually have some input and weight in whether a movie project gets crucial early support.
And aww… I am positive that out of all this fan-community thing that’s going on in the Serenity-verse (which I’m just catching little whiffs of, mind you) there will be not a few marriages and life partners matched up.
