TASS

Well on the 9th it will be. I am headed home and get a day off work. So there is a good chance it will be Monday 'fore I see you all again. I'll be a 30-something by that point.. but I'll be shiny (I hope).

Finally found a bit of time to finish the commenting and RSS features for the Firefly log.

Yesterday I was thinking about the difference between great lines of dialogue and lines that just pop out because the actor got it so right. These perfect little moments happen so often in Firefly that I really, really can't choose favourites. But I had fun trying! Like this: Mal first meets Kaylee and she's pointing underneath the engine and she says, "I'm pointing right at it." River says to Book, after the hair-scare, "Just keep on walking, Preacher-Man." Book says about his "natty" friend, "...he was so [i]proud[/i] of it." Jayne reads aloud the letter from his mother. Never mind the hat. Okay, the hat-business is fabulous. But I really love the letter-reading. Inara elbows Mal out of the way and says, "You never could fly this thing." Mal asks Simon if his ear will be okay, and Simon says, "Just don't...fiddle with it." Wash says, "We are a peaceful race, and we must learn to live in harmony..." Hahaha. I love Wash. Happy sigh. Zoe says about Serenity, "...when we get her running?...so...not running now." And then, "Uh-huh." There are too many perfect Mal moments. I can't choose. He never misses. He's just a joy to watch. When he gets laughing, I laugh out loud. And when he's moved, my heart turns over.

I decided to make this my official blog space for the upcoming Firefly Fan Film I am making. So, my introduction. I am Michael Alessandro, a film maker, actor, writer and director in San Francisco, CA. Currently I have a web series at www.fof-films.com called "Smoke & Mirrors:The Magicians", it is updated randomly with new webisodes and is currently drawing some very nice attention. So, why a Firefly Fan Film? For me, Joss created a universe that I was dying to explore with the crew of Serenity. He had rich characters and a very unique premise. And I miss it. I've watched my dvd set twice through so far, and just can't get enough, but alas... So, I decided I needed... Yes, I was compelled to do my own "firefly". But since there's the possibility of Mal and the gang rising again (fingers crossed) I thought I would follow an entirely different crew who also happen to be on a "firefly" vessel. And thus it began. I started with the characters, of which there are 7 main characters on the ship (I will go into details later), and their personalities, their reasons for being who they are and flying on the ship they do. Then I sat down to write the pilot episode, and it seemed to just flow. I am very excited to lens it. Now we're in pre-production, putting our ducks as they say... I have been geenrously supplied with a couple of Serenity models from fellow firelyfans.net users. My extreme thanks to Biotech!!! His model blows me away. I'm excited to do a test run with it and animate. Now we're about ready to cast. I have a few actors already lined up, people I have worked wioth before in theater and on my web series, but the rest will be doing an open casting call. I can't wait to see who shows up. When all is said and done the film(s) will be posted for free downloading over at www.fof-films.com. I invite everyone to check out "Smoke & Mirrors" in the meantime. You'll at the very least meet me, Michael, who will be playing the Captain of our intrepid Firefly boat. I'll leave you only with this today... "Firefly:Orpheus" Headed out into the black....

Mr Whedon's truest talent is casting...How he finds the actors who completely and utterly inhabit their characters is astonishing.. Hats off Mr W
