Hey, thanks for helpin' out, FollowMal. I can always count on you! ;)

So, Entertainment Weekly has a video clip type thing of their Sundance party up and guess who gets the most camera-time?
...That's right, our Captain. He gets in his jokes and they keep rolling. Very nice. And how is he not a really big star? I just don't get it. Anyways, enjoy...

I just don't get it either IHeartFirefly. Actually, I think him being a big star is right around the corner. With "Waitress" being a hit at Sundance, "Drive" to hit tv soon ( and I think "Drive" is going to be big! ) I think Nathan's star is on the rise.

We AN crew members have been remarking the last couple of days that this is going to get so big for him that perhaps he'll get so far away from his beginning here as our Captain that he'll be distant.
Then the BrownQuote generator showed up on his myspace account today and proved our concern was for naught. I don't think Nathan will ever get so big in Hollywood that he forgets he's our Captain.

Thanks for the vid link.

I am definitely sharing the excitement over this - both for the opportunity to see Nathan again on the big screen, and for what it means for his career. This is a project that all sorts of people who blow off his previous projects will take notice of.

You know how when you watch EYES WIDE SHUT or A PRAIRIE HOME COMPANION and you get that sense of a filmmaker pouring every last bit of his or her being into it because they have a sense that they'd be soon gone for good that makes the film all the more magical? I'd like to see if that's conveyed in WAITRESS.

Well, by all accounts, Ms. Shelly did pour her heart and soul into the film, but I can't imagine she had any inkling of the tragic fate that was to befall her.

...Yeah, he was totally in love "Firefly" and I really can't imagine him ever forgetting the fans who loved it along with him.
He doesn't seem the type who forgets from whence he came. It seems as though he also has a pretty great family to keep him grounded.

I actually just found last night a place to download all of the tons of awesome extra features on the "Serenity" disk that I didn't even know we didn't get here in America ( http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V0OVLJ18) and I was just re-reminded of how much the whole crew LOVED their roles and each other. It was so sweet.

New, glowing review of "Waitress"...

http://www.cinematical.com/2007/01/24/sundance-review-waitress/

Quote:
Fillion -- best-known for glorified B-material like Firefly and Slither -- also gets to show off an unexpected flair for light, stumbling comedy while playing a romantic lead with a real sense of confusion and sweetness.

Clearly, the reviewer has not actually seen Firefly. ;)

Ok, I seem to just keep talking to myself in this thread. :)
But, what the heck. Here's another great little "Waitress" blurb:
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/LAC.20070127.SUNDANCE27/T
PStory/TPEntertainment/Movies/

Quote:
The popular Waitress stars Keri Russell as Jenna, an abused wife and talented pie maker who discovers to her horror that she's pregnant, and then falls in love with her neurotically twitchy gynecologist (Canadian actor Nathan Fillion). The supporting cast includes Cheryl Hines (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Andy Griffith, in a small-town story that resonates with Southern kookiness.

...neurotically twitchy?? There's something new.

You'd have to struggle to get a word in edgewise if you join us over in Mal's (once again functioning) Bunk. 'Course, I suppose we ANers really should get out more...

I have to say, though, I'm not so sure I'd want my gynecologist to be "twitchy"!

Hehe. Yeah.

Hey, how do I find this infamous "Mal's Bunk" place?

The infamous Mal's Bunk is a password protected subforum on the serenitymovie.org site. To get access, you need to join the Appreciatin' Nathan team over there. This should link you to the "Member Teams" page:
http://www.serenitymovie.org/browncoats/forums/index.php?autocom=teams

Appreciatin' Nathan is the second team listed, and the link to join is to the far right. There's only one person with the ability to add you to the roster, so it may take a few days if she's busy or out of town. In the mean time, you can join in on the Appreciatin' Nathan thread in the (non-password protected) General Discussions section. Here's a link to one of the most recent pages of the AN thread:
http://www.serenitymovie.org/browncoats/forums/index.php?showtopic=51&
st=7230

If you're not already registered at serenitymovie.org , you'll probably have to do that first. If you have any problems or questions, feel free to PM me (or FollowMal, if I may be so bold) through fff.net.

All Nathan appreciators are welcome! Hope you can join us!
