Yes! Yes I did watch it!
Wow, I gotta thank you for planting the seed in my brain to watch that. I cannot believe how much I love that flick...from France!!! Dammit! But I do. And she has to be one of the most adorable people on the planet. God I kept screaming at the screen telling her to just go to him for pete's sake, quit backing out...just tell him, and I cannot believe I am admiting to it.
After watching it a bit, I started remembering that I had heard of the movie that had the travelling gnome...ah HA! This was the one! Geez did I laugh and cry through that thing. It's been a while since a story has sucked me in so much.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go buy the thing now.

If it's done, it will be sad.
I have to ask though:
Am I the only Firefly/Serenity fan here that did not care one iota for Buffy? I'm sorry, but I've never found that program even remotely entertaining.
I don't think of myself as a lion....
Does that seem right to you?

Oh yuck.
You said "travelling gnome".
"Travelocity" = buncha commercial whores. They are trying to steal the soul of that movie with their blatant rip-off of the yard gnome thing.

My exact same thought when I realized that this was where they got the idea from.

Hey, XG, I thought you weren't going to post in this forum anymore. Yet here you are.
You know, I was disappointed in you for letting what a bunch of people said affect what you do. They are clearly elitist snobs who can't stand discord in their perfect 'verse. And you, well you just love stirring up people, don't you? Glad to see you're back. May have to check out Amelie now on your recommendation. 
Anyway, if you're still up for a breakdown discussion of my book, I'd be happy to hear it.

"Oh, you'd be surprised."

"YAY!"

Dw guys if Joss Don't do it, someone else will. Firefly and serenty have exactly what any film or TV seriese needs to carry on, cult status and a wide fan base. if Weadon, Fox and Universal all drop it im shure that there will be a big time producer/director who is a fan and will stick his ore in. Look at king kong for example.
They Killed off Wash and Shepard!

Whoa! Hold up here Queeny. Don't go gettin all pissed off at me. I was just trying to bow out gracefully and wrap up loose ends in the various threads I was engaged in. I can't let a heated argument I'm having go without a response all sudden-like (a personal flaw that caused me many unglorious beatings of the ass in RL).
Get angry with Psolaris. She is the one making me have this continuation of my postings. At least I think she is a she. Could be a he. Who cares? I'm tryin to exit here.
Ok, not true. I'm like a braindamaged dog who can't stop chasing a tennisball thrown into busy traffic. It's a guy thing. I admit that much. Don't hate me cuz I'm byoo-Tee-fool.
I'll be happy to come back and tear apart your book, but once again I warn you, you won't like my criticism. Hell, go back and reread this thread. I'm an ass.
As to my reasons for wanting to leave this forum...
You should see my private fan mail from these debates. I'm growing increasingly convinced that Ted Kazynskci (sp?) ~ the unabomber dude ~ is still on the loose. They prolly bagged a bearded semi-homeless nut, called a press conference, and declared the case closed.
Actually, no. I think they caught the kook. Could care less as long as I don't get any ticking boxes in the mail. I digress.
Anyhow... you should go watch Amelie. Rent it, or hell... I'll buy you a copy of the DVD as repayment to you for my ruthless critiq'ng of your book. I'll drop you a line in e-mail with my private e-mail address and get you a DVD of it if you can't rent it (and you better never share my e-mail with anyone ~ I value my anonymitimidy).
**preachy horseshit /on**
Something that really bothers me... here you are, one of us. A "browncoat". You are doing something few have guts enough to do, writing your own book and fighting the system to see it published. All these clowns rise up "en masse" to pledge theoretical sums of money to bring back the show. Yet, I'm the only one to buy your book.
I think we're surrounded by phonies, people who are all talk. I even said in a thread about "private donations" for bringing back the show that everyone was bullshit and when it came down to it they were paper tigers in the money department. They pledged up a storm yet they wouldn't support one of our own. They disgust me.
I was right. I don't think I was, I know I am. Of course, I'm a troll for saying it. Oh bah! Sorry... just haveing another minor "I told you so!" kind of moment. Spur of the moment. Prolly should have thought it over and decided against saying it, but nahhh. I'm an ass.

Aw, hey, XG, I wasn't mad. I was just curious. That's my major flaw. Which is gonna get me killed someday, I'm sure. Hmm . . . maybe I should put an "I'm speaking in a lighthearted tone" tag on all my posts. Hard to tell with these electronic talkings, isn't it?
I will see if I can find Amelie to rent here in my small town. It's probably not likely. I'll let you know if I can or not. 
Anyways, critique away. I need somebody with the guts to tell me what's wrong or right with my book, so I know what to change or keep next time. You may be an ass, but you have valid points, which is why I like you. Not to mention, as you said, you've been one of the only browncoats to actually support me on this adventure, "money where your mouth is" kinda deal. Which is disappointing for me, but I'm getting a lot of support from my hometown, so I can take the lack of browncoat interest.

Yes yes, blame me. I enjoy reading through XG's posts because he's a thought provoking individual and I love a challenge. I have a certain respect for this guy because of it.
XG, yes, I am most definitely a girl.
And Queeny, I didn't realize you had a book published! I am still relatively new to the site and didn't see your thread about it, that is until I followed your link in your signature and saw the thread. Congratulations! I'm very proud of you in that venture. So much so that I went to the website that sells it...and I bought the thing. It should be here next week and I'll be more than happy to read it! Let me know if and/or when you get another one published!

Wow, Psolaris, you actually went and bought it?? Thanks so much!
Mwaha, my evil plan is slowly coming to - what? Nothing.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy it once you get it through the mail. Let me know what you think. Critiques all around! It'll probably be a long time before I get the next one finished, due to lack of spare time, but I hope to get it finished in a year or so.
