If there's anything I've learned in the last few hours, it's that the worst time to write a Firefly fic when you've never written one before is when you don't have your DVDs at the moment and it's five in the morning.

Er ... hi. :)

EDIT: TV Anchor Sues Former Color Me Badd Singer -- For someone who was a teenager when Color Me Badd came out, there is almost nothing about that story (with the obvious exception of kids involved, of course) that is not funny. A tire store. HEE. *giggles*

I feel like I have to say something about this, because ... because fuckin' Hollywood.

Many of you have -- due to jim_smith's "trailer" and metaquotes -- heard of a little movie called Snakes on a Plane.

Yes, Snakes on a Plane. It's the perfect title. Although as was pointed out in the comments on metaquotes, you've now officially all been spoiled. I'm truly sorry.

In any event, it stars Samuel L. Jackson and, if this picture is any indication, what looks like Kenan from SNL and the Wayans brother no one thinks is funny. (By the way, in verifying whether that was Kenan or Kel since I'd forgotten, I discovered Ken Foree of Dawn of the Dead was on Kenan and Kel. So I guess starring in a cheesy skit show with those two is ... sort of like fighting zombies.) And also, Julianna Margulies. Oh, and also David Koechner, who I saw last weekend in The 40-Year-Old Virgin being a perv at a sex clinic.

I'm already going to see this movie come hell or high water simply for the title, but if David Koechner survives the trip and Samuel L. Jackson -- much like in Deep Blue Sea -- is suddenly and surprisingly swallowed by a python after several tense hours of work for the python in the first part of the movie, I'll go see it twice.

I can't decide whether I think this is going to suck or going to be fantastic. On one hand, it apparently features an assassin so inept that instead of spiking his victim's expensive tiny bottle of liquor with Drano or using a blowdart or something, he lets loose a box full of snakes on a plane. This requires special levels of ineptitude, because --

1. The snakes covering Kenan in that photo? Yeah, not so poisonous if I'm remembering correctly. So obviously he tossed in a few extra. Maybe the snakes just like plane rides.
2. By flipping open the box of snakes on the plane, he is also now trapped in a plane full of snakes. Funny how that works.
2b. ... unless he follows letting the snakes loose by putting on a parachute and leaping from the plane, or locking himself in the bathroom. Then again, if I had just let a box of snakes loose on a plane, I'd lock myself in the bathroom. See, now I've let loose poisonous snakes AND taken away the only bathroom.
3. He has let loose a box of snakes on a plane with Samuel L. Jackson, who I think we all know speaks Parseltongue and can control snakes, a trick taught to him by none other than Vin Diesel on the set of xXx.

Anyways, on the other hand, who would have thought the best movie I'd see all summer was The 40-Year-Old Virgin? With a title like that, I should have turned away from the box office before I even got there, and yet I went and saw it and laughed hard enough to cry for two straight hours.

I should also point out that Samuel L. Jackson's best work is in B-movies like this. He's cool like that.

He's also going to be in a movie called Afrosamurai. Obviously, he wins at life.

In summation ... Snakes on a Plane. And a new icon. (Gackable as always. :))

Anybody up to do a beta on a Firefly story for me? I've never written one before and I'm almost done with it, so I'd kind of like someone to check it out first.

USA Network is doing a 4400 marathon in preparation for tomorrow's season finale. What a vicious taunt. I need my season finale, goddamn it. (The downside is that that means there's no new episodes for months. But the upside is that a season two box set is that much closer to coming out. *covets*)

Also, I just saw a commercial for Prison Break and found out the season premiere's on Monday. I seriously hadn't realized it was this late in the year already. Okay, so Fox shows their premieres early -- which is one of the very few good things they do for their shows -- but still.

Oh, God, do I need to write a fic with Kevin and Shawn interacting. Or Kevin examining Isabelle. Or Kevin pretty much doing anything, really. *loves on Kevin just a little bit whole lot*

I'm boosting this from marag, who boosted it from cereta, because it's just a damn fine idea. :)

You realize, of course, that my father could do this meme and his list would be twice as long. Oh, yeah, Daddy was a fanboy, all right. ;)
