Not before. I refuse to let myself believe that we could get a second season of Firefly. Heck, even if we could: would it be as good as we’d hope it would be? There are a lot of expectations, here. A LOT of expectations.
What’s This Now…. FOX Finally Interested in a ‘Firefly’ Reboot? https://t.co/6F3vWSqbTM pic.twitter.com/Xm2QtK4Rq3

This seems like an efficient use of my time: go to the mall, get some sweaters at Sears, wander over to the movie theater. As the philosopher said: I love this plan. I’m excited to be a part of it. Although I’m a little alarmed at myself that I’m looking forward to having some new sweaters.

PS: I am also finding it bemusing that, so far, there’s a very positive critical reaction to John Wick 2. I mean, you get used to critics normally not liking action flicks, but 89% on Rotten Tomatoes is about twenty points higher than I expected. I mean, dang, NP freaking R liked this movie. Weird, huh?
I’m not entirely fond of this style of animation, but at least they’re back to putting more clothes on Starfire. I know, I know, they toned down her costume for the first Teen Titans show. Which happens to be the one I like, so neener neener.
Well, I ASSUME that there’s going to be a good chance for the latter:
A spoof of the Star Wars franchise is in development with Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, whose credits include the Scary Movie franchise, “Epic Movie” and “Vampires Suck.”
The duo will write and direct the project, titled “Star Worlds Episode XXXIVE=MC2: The Force Awakens The Last Jedi Who Went Rogue.” Covert Media’s CEO Paul Hanson (“District 9”) is producing the film alongside Broken Road Productions’ Todd Garner (“True Memoirs of an International Assassin”).
…(Via GeekTyrant) This should be a fascinating contest of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object. On one hand, we have the Mouse. On the other hand, we have the entire question of just how protected parodies are… which is danged convoluted. Seriously, the more I refreshed my memory on this, the more complicated it got. And on the gripping hand, Disney pretty much does nothing to go after porn parodies of its stuff (DO NOT SEARCH FOR EXAMPLES, IF YOU LOVE YOUR EYES), so maybe they won’t care, after all. Which sounds… weird, no?
I like this one, because it raises an important point: Keanu Reeves starts series well, but he doesn’t have the best record when it comes to the sequel. Also: John Wick really didn’t cheat on the action sequences, did it? I totally missed it until after they compared it to Taken.
The preparations are complete. Now Marvel prepares for the next stage of its machinations. Which will be awesome, because a Defenders series probably means… yup. Squirrel Girl. At the bare minimum, there’ll be a cameo.
(Iron Fist drops March 17th.)
This one I’m more comfortable liking on sight.
If they stick with the kind of big, kind of cheerfully messy, and kind of indifferent to whether or not a particular Good Bit looks too goofy attitude that we saw in the first movie, things should be fine. Shoot, I don’t even really care about the plot. Yeah, go get that Space Macguffin. What I care about is that everybody have fun while doing it.
Here we go again. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Comes out Memorial Day. It… might not suck? I mean, I liked On Stranger Tides well enough. But I would, wouldn’t I?
Here we go. March 11th. And nothing else needs to be said.
“Please make better movies about me.”

PS: Geeks Are Sexy updated to note that the 2005 HPLHS silent movie Call of Cthulhu Did Not Suck, which is true: it did not. It was also decidedly not produced by Hollywood, which is absolutely an indictment of Hollywood — and buttresses the comic’s original point, to boot. If a bunch of enthusiasts can create an excellent Cthulhu flick, there’s no reason why a major studio can’t produce at least a decent one.
