I think everyone needs to calm down, take a deep breath, and back away from this thread before something else is said that might be regretted later. There's no point in name-calling and trash talk.

We're all just folk here. Please don't take the sky from me.

Naw, couldn't be- I've had to explain how every little thing here works. He's naturally grumpy though, as he's already complained about thirty times and he's only been here a week (chat don't work the way he want it to, heh)

Ironically, he's going for social work and no one could be more FOR kids than me (and Frem), but if he's gonna last five minutes HERE OR OUT THERE he's gonna have to see arguing as conflict resolution and not as assault...
No better place for that than here, it's where I learned it

The mere mention of "Meds" is inflammatory. A small amount of thought before a potentially hurtful post is all I ask.
Otherwise I could go all Mal.

A video called The physicist as novelist: Alan Lightman was posted on youtube, April 1, 2014

Scientists and artists are seeking truth. In the sciences, it is truth in the world of mass and force -- the external world -- and in the arts, it is truth in the world of the mind and the heart -- the internal world.

Inspired by Alan Lightman's video, my spin on comic books:
There is a large catalog of known behavior and human psychology that a good writer must stay within. Study it, then use it in your art. Only certain things, even though a large variety, can happen with humans. I know, I know, comic books are full of never-will-exist people in impossible situations, so why can't those rules be broken on every sixth page?

Many comic book ( and TV and movie) writers freely throw away the catalog of behavior and psychology. They are under tremendous pressure, because of deadlines and production schedules, to make it all up and to hell with consistency with human nature -- not all writers can be James Joyce. And their comic books feel false and their readers either can make their very own quick, ad hoc, explanations for characters' actions inconsistent with being real humans, since writer did not do the mental work necessary because time ran out, or the readers can stop reading bad art.

And, while I'm sad Jodorowsky didn't make Dune, I probably wouldn't have understood it. - www.fthismovie.net/2014/04/review-jodorowskys-dune-adam-riskes-take.ht

Alan Tudyk recalling executive producer Gail Berman's feelings about canceling Firefly, from this weekend at St. Louis Comic Con. Alan references Gail Berman's wiki at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gail_Berman

I did not know until now that it was Gail Berman who decided to put Firefly into the Friday Night Death Slot. From regret, she has decided to put "Sorry I canceled Firefly" on her tombstone.

Here's the thing...

You like internal imagination land sooo much, that most of your plot ideas are just pure randomness. Most people exist and operate within tangible, plausible land because CHAOS IS ANNOYING!!! You may be good at imagination, but you are shite at communication, and it's kinda necessary if you want anyone to listen to you. Every single time you've pitched a plot I've thought "I'd like to smoke what he's smokin'"

Just so you fully understand, I'm married to a guy that has Aspergers. My life revolves around understanding the unintelligible and the esoteric. At one time, my life also revolved around art and the abstract. I've had conversations with hundreds of people all over the globe and at least been able to see where each one is coming from. What I don't get??? YOU.

That fire burned fast.

This wasn't a mere argument or conflict resolution, it's a flame war. It's kinda sad that things around here have gotten so tense that we don't even notice the difference anymore.

There is a Firefly website with joke art that is worth your while. www.etakooramnahsmech.com/

Why didn’t Mal give Tracy a message in The Message?



By the same artist there is a gallery of Firefly characters at http://rubbishdesigner.deviantart.com/gallery/45978929
The portraits are deliberately without features, making it easy (maybe less difficult?) to imagine yourself as one of them.
