That is all. Hmm.

The full Joss Whedon interview that I mentioned last week is now up.

FilmForce: An Interview with Joss Whedon

Any agenda beyond what the film itself is trying to say [annoys me]. My biggest concentration [in college] was gender studies and feminism. That was sort of my unofficial minor. That was what all my film work was about, but at the same time, somebody bringing the knee-jerk feminist agenda to a text can be the most aggravating thing in the world. Especially if you’re a feminist, because you’re like, “You’re the person that everybody makes fun of. You’re the reason why we’ve got no cred.”

A pretty interesting article, in that is doesn’t seem like its only goal is to get a few sound-bite quotes and advertise talk about his next project.

BBC – Firefly schedule released – Corrections from Joss.
Important and a little confusing, especially since Britain will see the airing of three episodes no one’s ever seen.
1 through 7 are my best guess. From there on the order is official*.
Ep 1&2 – Serenity
Ep 3 – The Train Job
Ep 4 – Bushwhacked
Ep 5 – Shindig
Ep 6 – Safe
Ep 7 – Our Mrs. Reynolds
Ep 8 – Jaynestown
Ep 9 – Out Of Gas
Ep 10 – Ariel
Ep 11 – War Stories
Ep 12 – Trash (unaired in the U.S.)
Ep 13 – The Message (unaired in the U.S.)
Ep 14* – Objects In Space
Ep 15* – Heart Of Gold (unaired in the U.S.)
*Update: I’m with Seki on this — Heart of Gold should clearly be the last episode, so I’m swapping it with Objects in Space. Be advised that that’s not the official order — according to TPTB, OiS is last. :P

The Matrix’s Agent Smith Plush Doll
Update: It talks :)

With whom must I engage in [oral service of choice] to get this?
Okay, I don’t actually want it. I’ll admit that. I do, however, want to see one work.

Posting this mostly so I can go find it later: The Dark Tower – Official Web Site: the Dark Tower stuff is easily my favorite King stuff, and I’m stoked that he’s finally written the last three books of the series. (And, I gather, gone back and rewritten the first book, which is being rereleased sometime this summer I think. Cool.)

Last night, I got the new sprinkler working where the old one hadn’t been functioning correctly for about a year, watched the Animatrix DVD (which does a great job of actually making Matrix 2 better and which I highly recommend for a number of other reasons), got to see a REALLY FUNNY Firefly episode (“Trash”) that I hadn’t before (which may have my new favorite Firefly quote, ever), did four and a half miles at the gym, and watched a bunch of Brimstone episodes on tape — one of which had the guy who played Jubal Early from Firefly’s Objects in Space.
Of course, I didn’t get any frelling SLEEP, but it was a good night.
