Received this message in my inbox a couple of days ago:
Hey guys.
I’m here on the official site, so that can only mean one thing: somebody finally told me my password! (Again.) It probably also means that I have some big-ass announcement or other. Well tops on the announcement list is this: after months of intensive yoga, i can finally touch my toes! (They feel round and bunion-y.)
But there’s more! I’m talkin’ movie news, peeps, so no more drumroll: Trailer. Serenity. Tuesday.
Yeah, kids, the haps is hap’nin’, and it runs thus: EXCLUSIVELY on Apple movie trailers (and linked through this site as well of course) will be a small, medium, large or FULLSCREEN trailer for Serenity the major motion movie. Yeah, THE trailer. And the following Friday said trailer hits theaters. Which theaters? Until I get confirmation you’ll have to guess, but I’m betting you can.
…Bye-ee!
Joss “You can’t take my toes from me” Whedon.
… trimmed with some emphasis added.

Woo-hoo!
Writing hackery paired with poser chic? Glee!
Let me wet myself in the manner of a post-pubescent teen girl at an ‘N Sync concert, with Joss Whedon standing in for the unthreatening vocals of Joey Fatone.
I’ve gone over Joss Whedon’s body of work. And, I know this is merely a personal opinion, so if you don’t share it, I don’t care. But honestly, the only piece of writing he’s done that doesn’t instantly bore me is Alien Resurrection. And After watching it again, I realized that’s probably because the acting was top-notch, and Ron Perlman is an acting god.
There we go, I knew I needed to rant this week.
What about Toy Story?
Anyway, feel free to not like Firefly or Serenity or Apple. I don’t share your love for Yanni… to each his own.
If you don’t like it, don’t watch. Just put in that Yanni CD and go to that special place.
Btw, I am guessing that the trailer will also be shown ahead of the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy… which opens Friday.
a) Toy Story was a kids’ animated movie (not to be confused with just an animated movie, of which there are many, many adult examples). While midly enjoyable, I wasn’t exactly ‘engaged’ by it, being an adult.
b) Yes, you retard, I listened to Yanni. Long time ago. At least I listened to it. Didn’t dismiss it and make fun of it outright. And although the composer’s sexuality (and apparently by extension, that of his fanbase) might be in question, he’s actually pretty competent, and has (had) a really excellent violinist.
And I won’t watch.
So there. Nyah.
Heh, the guy who listens to Yanni said I was retarded. That is rich… really rich.
Also, I thought this was hilarious coming from the guy who just rented the Gargoyles children’s animated series on DVD. Was that like a Saturday morning kids cartoon. You surely couldn’t find it engaging… BEING AN ADULT.
LOL
I have lust in my heart for Kaylee.
So, after watching the trailer… the only thing that worries me is that horrible, typical music. Please tell me none of it will be in the actual movie. Other than that, it looks shiny.
So when Carl makes fun of us for watching Firefly, it’s ok, but when you make fun of him for listening to Yanni, it’s not? I’m confused. (x_X)
Oh wait, we’re “dismissing it outright”, I get it now! Carl at least gave Joss Whedon a chance, which is more than I would ever give Yanni! Damn, we’re such hypocrites! It’s a good thing we have Carl around to remind us of that all the time.
Now you’re getting it.
And I never made fun of you for watching Firefly. I said Joss Whedon is a hack. And I may have called someone a Fanboy.
“I never made fun of you for listening to Yanni. I said Yanni sucked. And I may have called someone a dumbass.”
You can’t get through to him. Once he reads(hears) the word Yanni, he gets all giggly inside and starts daydreaming of him and Yanni running through poppy fields, holding hands, and laughing.
You’re such a fucking asshole.
