gorram it all to hell
Every so often, rumors of a “Serenity” sequel pop up, and no matter how many times Joss Whedon says, “No, it’s not happening,” the rumors persist. Are they based on any behind-the-scenes maneuvers? Or if they’re not based on any reality in this ‘verse, why do they persist?
“The rumors are there because people really wish it would happen,” Whedon said.
...
Like Summer, “I’d do it in a heartbeat,” Whedon said, “because I love those people so much.” But that doesn’t change the fact that the rumors are not being circulated “by anyone who owns a studio,” and “nobody’s knocking on our door.”
“There’s been no movement,” he said. “Those rumors are just rumors, and I don’t think they’re going to stop, no matter how many times I say, ‘No, it’s not happening.’ Because somebody will say, ‘He said yes. His eyes said yes. His nose said yes. There was a yes-iness about him.’ Because people want it.”
Granted, MTV is not the best place to get your news, but considering the topic, it is probably valid.
Either way, count me among the many people who "want it", and would be more than willing to drop a few million on top of Whedon's head (and club him with a few more million, if he did not get the point) if he would just make another Serenity. Prequel. Sequel. Subplot. Really, I do not care. I just want more. Gimme my gorramed fix! Ni ta ma de. Tianxia suoyoude ren. Dou gaisi.
*cough*
Sorry 'bout that... Linoge has been... detained... until such time as he stops swearing in Mandarin. We now return you to our regularly-scheduled program... whatever the hell that was.
Hat tip to Whedonesque.

Whedon just needs to put up a blog page, with a tip jar. Heck, I think as many people want the sequel, we could buy him his own studio.
I did enjoy Dr. Horrible, but it's not the same.
Hell, I could afford sending $10 a month his way - I would easily pass up going to the movies once a month if a new Serenity was in the future, and I can guarantee I am not alone.
Sadly, due to moves and other annoyances, I completely missed out on Dr. Horrible, but I guess that will just be another way to funnel money towards Joss when I buy the DVDs.
...
On a completely unrelated note, your mac-and-cheese recipie rocks!
Call me feng le, but anyone who says a second Serenity wouldn't do well can gen houzi bi diou shi.
If we could only find one studio that wasn't run by a qingwa cao de liumang, Whedon might actually have a chance.
As it is, ta pigu cao.
:(
PS - Chinese rocks for swearing! Took 2 years of Mandarin, and the only words I remember are the more colorful ones. Well, that and how ask for a cup of tea, but what the cao is that good for!?
Hear hear, on every count. Serenity did amazingly well at the box office, especially considering how few people knew about Firefly before it, and a second installation would only do better. If nothing else, the grass-roots movement could easily launch it off, just like Brigid proposed... Hell, given then number of Flans out there, I think we could almost unilaterally get the movie on screens around the country, with or without Hollywood's funding assistance.
Oh, and the primary reason I like swearing in Mandarin - no one has a bloody clue what you are saying. And it makes you sound all well-travelled and stuff.
I'll never forget the first time I heard it on Firefly - I thought - did I just hear what I think I heard!??? Was pretty funny - especially since I didn't have a PVR at the time, and I couldn't rewind! haha. Not that I needed another reason to keep watching, but I certainly paid twice the attention to the dialogue until I had confirmed: Yup, he did just call him a monkey f$$ker. Amazing!
Me, I had to go to Google and find a pinyinary... but once I found out what they were saying, I more than understood why they were saying it in Mandarin. Stupid censors.
