I'm gonna call this a win for the biogenetic theory.
What.
What.
I listened to descriptions of this movie all day from actual fans.
After one of these fervid recaps the subject somehow changed to the novels of Ayn Rand.

Hm. Just now occurred to me that Zorg would be a fine villain for this Batman trilogy, in thematic terms (not just because it would be awesome). Also, not the weirdest rumor about DKR by a long, long, long shot.
Been listening to it all week myself :) You're welcome. #observationdeck
I always imagined the Firefly Earth as the Cowboy Bebop Earth. And that would have been awesome. #observationdeck
Speaking as someone who actually watched Firefly while it was on the air, it never had a chance. The schedule jumped around. There was some sports competition (I think baseball and football) preempting it three(?) times. The pilot was a perfect two hour tv movie and... well.
All that to say I bear no ill will towards Fox or their executives. I'd love to see, and hear, more Firefly, but it's an exquisite thing just the way it is, and there are too few of those things just lying around for public consumption. #observationdeck

From the tenth season soundtrack of Firefly. #observationdeck
Nah that first picture (at least) was from Latin America.
Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Raise the Flags of All Nations!
listened to this live. great interview with some really good calls as well #observationdeck
Lord Kinbote reporting for mob duty. #observationdeck
Iliria (or whatever) was pretty badass.
Man, I would've framed that letter. All i got were the "doesn't apply himself" and "sleeps in class" ones. Oh well. (I got that you got it, just joshin') #observationdeck
Fred and Wesley as Beatrice and Benedick. My anger is assuaged, for now.
Be still and now, behold Dream's fever'd dream
Only a realm of death can be so clean
Fucking iambs.

IIRC that was around the last writers strike, when they made Dr. Horrible, right? Perhaps not coincidentally also when Joss promised us he'd do more independent projects (and then did Dollhouse (not that I'm complaining))
I was being facetious in the comment, but I don't have a strong point of view on the remake phenomenon as a whole. Honestly I think Shakespeare and Dickens and Dumas (or Oceans 11 or Fistful of Dollars or The Departed) are strong arguments for remakes. Hell, let some young youtube director take a crack at Jaws. I probably wouldn't see it... unless I found out it was really good. #observationdeck
ANOTHER GODDAMN REMAKE.
FUCK.
FUCK.
Defending Your Life is a great Albert Brooks/Meryl Streep movie. Sorta sci-fi-y if you consider the afterlife is pretty non-deominational. Maybe Confucian. But still. You kids born in the 90's should check it out.
To the main theme of the episode, I think forgiving yourself is a rich topic for therapist chairs, and fiction too. Dean is a heavy moralist, and in a job (calling?) like being a Hunter it's going to keep him alive, and make his life a living hell. Which is, of course, ironic since Dean's already been to actual Hell once. And then was saved by Castiel. Who then died trying to be a bigger moralist than Dean. And round and round we go.
I can already tell I'm going to like this season more than the last.

There was no way I wasn't going to see this, but now I'm actually looking forward to it. Neato.
