you brought me the gift of remembering that pitch exists. you are a good person. well, you might be an asshole. you've done a good thing.

i'll leave when i'm good and ready.

which they changed from "jan". the original namer died shortly after writing it down, so they didn't know if the j was hard or soft.

jayne's a fucking great character, terrifically written, with a very specific, rich, fun performance. the show is way better for having him. which makes it all the worse that seeing adam baldwin's face now makes my digestive system pump shit backwards into my mouth from rage. he's retroactively ruined the experience…

i didn't know about anything to do with jewel until this conversation. an utterly appalling human being. a hulking mass of cruel conservative entitlement, empowered by the hypnotic power he has over his odious fans.

are we having a chair shortage?

KISS ROCKS!

i know, i know, and i don't want to take anyone ELSE'S enjoyment away. but the sight of his face just leaves me angry and sad — his presence soils my experience.

well yeah, they all talked happily about their very differing opinions, but firefly happened a good ten years before baldwin flipped the psychopath swtich (publicly, anyway). he was just their kooky, reagan-loving big brother or whatever but still a good enough guy.

"you have it on your person. look no further." the woman is an international treasure.

i just watched that like four days ago. my jaw dropped when the credits rolled. she's a delight in it.

the single most egregious change to me is replacing the ghost of sebastian shaw with hayden christensen, but that musical number is the most bafflingly terrible insertion.

more than anything, i strongly believe this: the guy doing evil is much worse than the guy ineffectively trying to stop evil. save your violent hyperbole for white supremacists and misogynists, instead of the 13-25 year olds trying to deal with a world that's full of them.

people have been saying this about those who fight the good fight ever since the good fight has been fought. feminists were dismissed as lunatic baby-hating witches a hundred years ago much the same way you are dismissing young angry kids just discovering how fucked up a lot of the world is.

i scrolled past really fast and saw "spokespenis" and now i'm sad that's not what you wrote.

what you see on tv, also! i really believe that coming to empathise with a character of a demographic that's always been an "other" to you is a really big deal. before i found buffy the concept of a girl who could be strong, heroic and a leader would've been a joke to me.

was the licence plate U-LAL-E? if so, spode for sure.

would that really provoke violence from you more than, say, explicit racism? because i'm sure you can tolerate all kinds of ACTUALLY horrible things without resorting to assault.

incidentally, thomas newman is my favourite composer in general, with WALL-E's soundtrack being my favourite of his, but my favourite individual soundtrack altogether is another one of pixar's, michael giacchino's RATATOUILLE soundtrack. giacchino hasn't done anything else as sublime as NEMO, SHAWSHANK or AMERICAN…

CARS is an awesome film with a major charisma vacuum in owen wilson, and lightning mcqueen's character being a bit of a misfire in general. (i say he's a bigger flaw than larry the cable guy, because the film never expects us to give a shit about mater, whereas lightning's arc is the dramatic fulcrum of the movie.)…
