NetFuzz - Feel The Fuzz Y’all

Mighty Shiny it is!  For all of us Firefly fans out there (the number grows everyday it seems), there is a project that I just found out about, and that I figured had to share.  I would say a new project, but it’s been around for a while now, whilst in the works.  It’s a fan film, based on the Firefly world or genre.  Now, they don’t attempt to recreate the Firefly and Serenity we all know and love, along with all of our Big Damn Heroes, but instead tell the tales of a different crew and ship, and their journeys.

I have only seen a couple trailers, they don’t have the whole film out yet, but it looks like they went to a lot of trouble to build sets and get some CG going for ship flying sequences and such.  Joss himself supports the effort, and I hear tell that our very own Captain Reynolds (Nathan Fillion) even donated some coin to help the cause.  Mighty shiny indeed!

The movie they are working on is called “into the black”, and you can check out various images and clips at their website.  I think it’s looking like an entertaining flick, and it looks like it would be a blast to work on.  Maybe we will see more of these endeavors in the future!  Until next time, keep flying.

A cool poll over at IMDB, who is your favorite TV/Movie psychic?  Little doubt who my pick was

So, starting July 28th, you can watch all of the wonderful Firefly goodness in hidef on Universal-HD. All I have to say is THANKS GUYS! Anyone that helps out the best damn show ever is OK in my book.

Are you a Firefly and/or Serenity fan like me?  As if you couldn’t already tell from the stuff on my site, I am a HUGE Firefly fan.  Recently, I put up a new site out there in the ‘verse, a place for all the Browncoats like me (a.k.a. Firefly fans) to hang out, discuss, mingle, what have you.  It’s a site called Browncoat Boards, and it’s a dedicated discussion board for Firefly.  SO get on over there and let’s get things going by talking about our favorite show, and if you aren’t a Firefly fan yet, get over there and find out what you are missing!  Keep it shiny

This is a pretty good comparison of Star Trek (The Next Generation) and Firefly. If you don’t know the TV show Firefly, or the spinoff movie Serenity, you don’t know what you are missing. I am a huge Trek fan too, but mainly the original series. This seems to fit real well …

Star Trek:

Picard: “Arm photon torpedoes!”
Riker: “Captain! Are you sure that’s wise?”
Troi: “Captain! I’m picking up conflicting feelings about this! And, it appears that you’re a ‘fraidy cat.”
Wesley: “Captain, I’m just an annoying punk, but I thought I should say something.”
Worf: “Captain, can I push the button? This is giving me a big Klingon warrior chubby.”
Giordi: “Captain, I think we should reverse the polarity on them first.”
Picard: “I’m so confused. I’m going to go to my stateroom and look pensive.”

Firefly:

Captain: “Let’s shoot them.”
Crewman: “Are you sure that’s wise?”
Captain: “Do you know what the chain of command is? It’s the chain I’ll BEAT YOU WITH until you realize who’s in command.”
Crewman: “Aye Aye, sir!”

There you have it, the best Star Trek vs Firefly comparison you’ll find today.

I am a HUGE Firefly fan, so I had to take this test when I found it …
