Holy guacamole!!! Great singer-- whoda thunk? Doesn't dance, tho... Patrick Swayze danced and sang in To Wong Fu...
And last night on Lie to Me, a fox production that is good... Jubal Early!! Richard Brooks was delightful in a hard hat... It was the voice, first. I couldn't place it...then, POW!!! I'd seen him as a lawyer, somewhere... and that magnificent baritone of his just rocks ya to your toes. -------------------- You can't stop the signal, Mal

More details from the 'Verse:
QUOTE From Titanbooks.com "Firefly: Still Flying" Official Companion Vol. 3 officially announced! Brilliant news for all you Browncoats and Whedonists – Titan is opening up the hold of Firefly to bring you a brand new companion ! Packed with all-new material, FIREFLY : STILL FLYING will be released in March 2010, following the same style and format as the top- selling, two-volume Firefly : The Official Companion and Titan’s award-winning movie companion, Serenity : The Official Visual Companion. The Emmy Award-winning “sci-fi western” TV series from inimitable cult writer/director Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse) ended after just 14 episodes – but the story didn’t stop there, as phenomenal DVD sales, a comic book mini-series, Titan’s official companions, and a hit movie spin-off mean that the loyal Browncoat fanbase are still flying high. In Still Flying, we’ll be uncovering even more secrets from the series, stuffing the book full of unseen material, including new photos, props, behind-the-scenes secrets and much more besides. The details are hush-hush so I can’t tell you any more at the moment (sorry, mei mei !), but you can’t stop the signal, so keep your eyes peeled for more info soon. Shiny! Wonder what's gonna be in it? =^[.]^= -------------------- The enjoyment of any good thing is only enhanced by sharing it with others.

An old article (from October 2005) about the making of our Big Damn Movie, Serenity. Even in those days, Joss and co. knew how to make a film without Hollyweird's typical excesses:

Ship Date: 1st Qtr 2010 Limited Edition: 1000 * Summary * Specs * Gallery (15) Product Summary Sideshow Collectibles is proud to present the Serenity - 'The Big Damn Replica' Scaled Prop Replica by Quantum Mechanix. Celebrated by millions of fans around the world, the titular ship of Joss Whedon's visionary movie masterpiece, Serenity, has existed in all its glory in digital form only - until now. More than three years in the making, Serenity - The Big Damn Replica, has been painstakingly crafted to be absolutely screen-accurate in every aspect. Unlike most ships from science fiction, Serenity was designed from the ground up to be as realistic as possible, from her floor plan to her construction, using real-world components and manufacturing processes. As one of her creators observed, the idea was to make Serenity so real, fans could see themselves walking her decks. With such a sense of place and familiarity, viewers would never feel lost in this Firefly-Class Transport. When it came time to develop this replica, we could do no less. Every bolt, every seam and every asymmetrical plate has been recreated with exacting attention to detail in this first and only screen-accurate replica of Serenity. Years of intense effort have gone into all aspects of this model, from the model sculpture built from the movie special effects master files to the paint job created to match not just the colors of the ship, but the materials as well. The Serenity - The Big Damn Replica Prop Replica features: * One big boat. Our Serenity measures 19"x12"x7", or 1:180 scale. (display stand adds 4.5") * Incredible complexity.The kit used to build Serenity consists of more than 250 parts, including resin, brass, aluminum and laser-cut acrylic. Many of the parts are custom-cut by hand, just for your replica. * Film-quality build. Some 30 different colors, including flat and metallic paint, are used in the ship's multilayer paint job. * Spitting image. Weathering, wear and other painting effects are used to exactly mirror the movie version of ship. * Superior components. Surfaces are crafted to simulate real-world materials - metal, ceramic, even the mirrored surfaces of the solar panels. * No decals. All graphics on Serenity are painted on by hand, even Serenity's logo. * SFX Edition. Serenity - The Big Damn Replica incorporates some 32 lighting effects, including static, flashing, strobe and chase lights. * Signature Edition. Nathan Fillion, Captain Mal himself, will be signing the builder's plaque that comes with each Big Damn Replica. * Wireless remote. The SFX Edition replica includes a wireless remote control to operate lights with a special button for activating "hard burn." Lighting system automatically shuts down after 15 minutes to help protect the both the lights and model. * Cool display. Serenity's display base/diorama looks like a landing pad straight out of The Verse. It comes with an acrylic cradle that shows Serenity in flight. * Big Damn Heroes. Crew members can be seen on the bridge. * Pro Prop Crate. Each Serenity is shipped in custom-cut foam and stored in a hand-built wooden apple crate, just like what the pros use to safeguard their props. * Jason Palmer Exclusive Art Print. Jason Palmer, one of the premier portrait artists working in entertainment today, was so taken with our girl that he's creating an special art print of Serenity only available with the Big Damn Replica. * The Build. The Big Damn Replica is offered for order built as shown in the attached photos. * The Edition Size. Serenity - The Big Damn Replica will be limited to 1,000 pieces worldwide. Pictures at the linked site. Can I have some money to buy a slinky space ship? =@[.]@= -------------------- The enjoyment of any good thing is only enhanced by sharing it with others.
