An alternate ending, if you turn it off early

[exsequar]

Joss Whedon is my favorite person ever. No really. I know this isn't new news, but. A Special Edition release of Serenity has been announced for this summer. YAY! I can own it in widescreen!! And yes, this is the only movie I would buy twice. Joss has this to say about the new edition:

Yes, fanlings, there is going to be a 2 disc 'Special Edition' released this summer. You know why? 'Cause the 1 disc 'Normal Edition' has sold so well -- so maybe a little self-back-patting is in order for you guys. Way to keep her in the air.

It's too early to be sure what the Special Edition will contain, but here are some things we're going for:

NEW KEY ART.

Cast commentary -- assuming I can get a decent number of them in one room. They're very busy people, I'm happy to say.

NEW KEY ART.

The region 4 goodies, obviously.

The Tam Sessions.

KEY NEW ART.

New Yub Yub, and Greedo shoots first. So does that kid outside the trading station, the pilot who destroyed Haven, and Kaylee. And Richard Dreyfuss goes INSIDE the mothership.

KEW RAT YEN.

An alternate ending, if you turn it off early.

Proof of the existence of a benevolent higher power -- uh, I mean, new key art.

Mice.


And honestly, what more do you want? Don't answer that, I already know and it's unseemly. But I'm pretty excited here. Back to work, -j.

Take my Yub,
Take Yub Yub,
Yub Yub tak the Yub from Meee...dichlorians....

Oh Joss. *beams* New key art, anyone? (Thank GOD) And CAST COMMENTARY YAY!

In other news, I have ordered the entire first season of Farscape. This is ALL Lindsay's fault. As well as Mona and Erin's and anyone else who's flailied to me. But mostly it is the fault of the completely hotass picture Linds posted of Ben Browder and Claudia Black the other day. ROWR! I can't wait :D And here I thought I was gonna resist the whole mainstream scifi thing and stick to the "brainy" stuff like Firefly and BSG - ha! It was only a matter of time, only a matter of time.

I also ordered Sorority Boys, because crossdressing Michael Rosenbaum is too good to pass up for 6 bucks. And I don't even watch Smallville! *hands* See what fannish osmosis can do to a girl? I also ordered The Departed at the same time *salivates* I can't wait omg.

I found out, randomly, that a good friend of mine is a country fan! So I'm going to show her Kane and hopefully she will fall head over heels and I will have a fellow Kane fan to squeal with! YAY! Hee.

I continue to listen to the new Fall Out Boy album on repeat. IT'S SO GOOD OMG. I also read two current articles about them in the bookstore today, in Rolling Stone and Spin. Pete Wentz is gorgeous, but a bit of an attention whore, lol. But he also seems pretty cool. And did I mention gorgeous? :)

Speaking of FOB, could one of my fellow fans come to my rescue? SOMEHOW I don't seem to have a copy of Sugar We're Going Down! *boggles* SO bizarre. I have all three of the albums, I do, but somehow that song is just... missing! Weeeeeird. It must have gotten lost in my new laptop move. So if someone could sendspace it to me or something, that would be awesome :D starlight1013@gmail.com

And that's all my random for the day! Funny, not one mention of SGA or SPN o.O Who knew?

Oh, Farscape. You won't regret it. Half the time it's like watching fanfic and the other half of the time it's ripping your heart out and handing it back to you. John/Aeryn are the badass OTP of all time, and John wears leather pants and is frequently physically tortured.

There is no bad there.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. Leather pants and manly torture = THE EPITOME OF AWESOME. I just died of giggling. Oh man :D I can't wait, hee! *bounce bounce*

What does he mean by "key art"? I'm such a noob, I don't even know. I'm loving the "alternate ending if you turn it off early." Oh, Wash. And what are The Tam Sessions? Do we get more River backstory? Eh? EH?

Thank you for the heads-up on this. ...this is the only movie I would buy twice. Ditto.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I've never heard the key art term myself, but I'm assuming he means the art on the cover. Because the American art SUCKED LIKE A SUCKY THING.

The Tam Sessions were a viral marketing campaign released in bits and pieces online before the movie came out. It's videos of pieces of River's time at the Academy, and they're spaced out over time, so you see her normal at first, and then gradually getting more broken, asking quietly to see her brother. They BREAK MY HEART. But they're amazing. And Joss is the voice of the guy talking to her! \o/

[hebrew-hernia.livejournal.com]

Yeah it was kind of... eh.

I have never seen those! Will be buying this DVD! And leaving the normal version for my dad when I go away to college next year, haha. I got Firefly on DVD for Hannukkah and he was all over it. My dad's so cool, yo.

[darksylvia.livejournal.com]

Fucking hell! I already own it! Now I have to buy it again!

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Haha, I think that's the idea. They know that with a dedicated fanbase like this, they'll get PLENTY of sales on a second edition.

FARSCAPE - you are going to be so in love with Ben Browder you won't be able to breathe.

Warning - I didn't warm up to it for a number of episodes. My hubby loved it from moment one but I thought it was kinda wanky (for god's sake, it has puppets). But the Browder seduced me ultimately...... Ben & leather - YOWZA.

Just because of you I am going to go out & buy Fall Out Boy because anything you love that goddamned much I suspect I will love as well.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

Heeeeee. This is what I hear! I absolutely can't wait *beams*

I've heard that they start out very episodic, but then begin to dig into the meat of the story. I am totally on board with this and will certainly not give up! No worries!

Hee, you are so cute! Fall Out Boy is a very... hm, youthful thing? It's just sheer FUN, bouncy music with semi-poetic lyrics that are actually mostly just nonsense but sound really cool to say. Like, "So long live the car crash hearts, cry on the couch, all the poets come to life, fix me in forty five." I have NO IDEA what they're going on about, but it's FUN. Hee. Do tell me what you think when you get your hands on it!

Yeah, the first half of the first season was very stand-alone and it took me awhile to "get into it", even though I was totally entranced by Ben and Claudia's chemistry from the get-go. But man, from DNA Mad Scientist on...I was fucking HOOKED and they haven't gotten their claws out of me yet. *g*

Also, Anne, what's really awesome about Farscape is that it's like, it has the puppet thing? But they become so REAL to you by the end. You feel for them, you love them, and you CRY for them. It's just amazing.

[tallisen.livejournal.com]

Rock on! And Farscape? Great choice! It's a total mind fuck! *purrs contently*

[riverdresses.livejournal.com]

::FLAILS HARD::

CAST COMMENTARY! (that's what I'm most excited about!)

& the fact that we're getting a SECOND edition at all? WE WIN.

Looks like I came into the fandom at just the right time. ::nods::

(& the R. Tam sessions! IN A BIGGER FORMAT. YAY!)

[snuffkin.livejournal.com]

Oh Joss ♥

FARSCAPE. Faaaaarscaaaaaaaaaaape.

*flappy hands of incoherent love*

This show is PLENTY brainy and will FUCK YOUR SHIT UP. \o/

Here is an icon of Ben's Leather Pants Of Sexassness.

Heeeee. Mmmmmmmmm. Leather Pants of Sexassness. YUM. I am VERY EXCITED, Mona. It's already been shipped! *bounces happily*

The Special Edition news made my day. March beats February by a mile after only two days.

And I'm about to grab Farscape season 1 as well. I have succumbed to Ben Browder's charms. Dammit.
