I am imagining this as a real physical fight. In an ice cream factory. On a really hot day.
“Science fiction is built on some incredible failures. These days, we take for granted that science fiction’s ideas and imagery dominate pop culture and define our collective reality — but many of science fiction’s most important works were originally counted as flops. Science fiction wouldn’t have most of its coolest riffs without these classics that went under the radar at the time.
“Here are 20 awesome science fiction failures, that totally made the universe worth living in…”
Willow, by David Mack.
“She never becomes a victim or a lesser member of the team. Her pain and exhaustion after a CG Marvel battles triggers our empathy, and centers us. And while all this superhero battling may look fun, without superhero augmentation, it must be terrifying. Johansson offers a true career-best turn here, easily negotiating splinter-thin spaces separating old pains and a chilly professionalism that hides we’re not sure what—regret? Denial? Lingering rage over the childhood abuse that turned her into Black Widow? It’s all hinted at as the actor works Whedon’s many shades of dark grey beautifully. In short, and despite all the Wagnerian bam-boom-pow, Whedon and his star never lose sight of the fact that Natasha is profoundly vulnerable, with nothing but smarts, heart and a .45 for protection.”
“This poster was commissioned by Mondo Tees and Lionsgate to celebrate the release of Drew Goddard and Joss Whedon’s horror genre bender, The Cabin in the Woods. What seems like a straight-forward kids-go-to-cabin film, it is actually much more hence the M. C. Escher-like quality of the concept.”

“If I could go back in time and tell the, like, 11-year old me, like, one day, not only do you go to comic-con, you go to comic-con every year, so much so that, like, you get greeted by Stan Lee when you show up. You know, and the 11-year old me would be, like, “How did we get so fat?” - Kevin Smith.

“The Doctor will see you now! Sing-Along with Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer as they battle soaring melodies and playful choruses in their brand new debut album. You’ll be sick with joy over catchy songs such as “Wonderflonium” and “Crazy Random Happenstance”. With guest appearances from The Thoroughbred of Sin and the lovely Penny, everyone’s a hero when they Sing-Along with Dr. Horrible!”
Mr. Fillion,
First, I have to say that I admire your work. I’ve read many of your interviews and have come to respect you not only as a truly fine actor, but as an uncommonly intelligent human being.
But let’s get straight to the heart of the matter. It has come to my attention that in a recent interview, you said the following: “If I got $300 million from the California Lottery, the first thing I would do is buy the rights to Firefly, make it on my own, and distribute it on the Internet.”
This struck a particular chord with me. As only a few months ago, I said very nearly the same thing. “If I ever get Stephen King famous,” I said, “I’ll buy the rights to Firefly and give it to Joss Whedon as a birthday present.”
Here’s the deal. My second book is about to come out. My publisher tells me there’s a decent chance of us selling a truly ridiculous number of copies. If this happens, I will have more money than I’ll know what to do with.
Except that’s not exactly true. I know exactly what I’d like to do with that money. I’d like to help you buy the rights to Firefly back from Fox.
I’m only a fledgling author. But by a strange twist of fate, I happen to be a fledgling author who is also an international bestseller.
Left to my own devices, I will probably spend my royalty money on useless bullshit. I will buy rare books and narwhal horns. If the book sells extremely well, I expect I’ll probably do something like buy an abandoned missile silo and convert it into my secret underground lair.
Clearly, this way lies madness.
Here is my thought. Alone, all we can do is dream wistful dreams of Firefly’s return. Together, we are a team. We can gather others to our cause. With 20 or 30 of the right people, we could pool our resources and make this shit happen.
You know where to find me.
Sincerely,
Patrick Rothfuss
What the FUCK? :oO

“Well, let’s get the Captain his money!”
