Pajiba Love

I don’t know about you guys, but I think I would kinda love to see “Firefly” brought back in Comic Strip form. I’ll take me some Captain Reynolds any way I can get him. (Galley Slaves)

Irresponsible reporting by Fox News? Surely you jest! (QuizLaw)

The cast of Harry Potter is so freaking adorable, it just damn near melts my cold, shriveled little heart. (Celebitchy)

I know none of you probably give a fart about Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey’s sex life — but I really enjoy the graphic not quite covering Nick’s little white ass that says, “too rude!” (IDLYITW)

For anyone who has ever struggled with their weight, you probably already know that figuring out what’s best for your body is a confusing and potentially difficult process. This article? Probably won’t clear things up. (Slate)

Y’know, something funny about me is that I just don’t know when to fucking quit. Yep, ol’ Stacey “Beats the Joke to Death” Nosek, they call me. (YesButNoButYes)

Christina Aguilera is pregnant — it’s been confirmed. But not really. (Agent Bedhead)

If you stayed indoors watching “The Twilight Zone” marathon on SciFi yesterday, (ahem) our good friend Nexus 6 has been kind enough show you what you missed — by assembling a fine menagerie of — what else? Dumbasses with fireworks. (Robot Gone Good)

After the jump — the mysterious trailer from Transformers that’s got everyone talking! Discuss amongst yourselves.

While there is something frustrating about watching a trailer filmed on a handheld camera... that was filmed on a handheld camera...

That looked fucking awesome.

True story, folks: Stacey actually eats live puppies for breakfast every day. It's how she gets such lovely skin.

No, TK! Not puppies -- kittens. But to be fair, I don't actually slaughter them myself. Since I live out in the farmlands, they're the second most popular roadkill next to deer. Easy pickins'!

Argh. I'm going to hell. For the record, I do not condone waterskiing, for animals or people, for that matter. I tried it once when I was a teenager and I'm still farting out water.

I just have to wonder...do the people who have to write "CHECK OUT NICK'S FACE!" and "TOO RUDE!" have problems getting to sleep at night, knowing that they've had to write those captions? However, "Check out Nick's face!" just made me giggle uncontrollably. Hee!

That teaser was freaking awesome. If they are smart that is the only footage they ever show. No full trailer, jus that teaser all the way up to the premiere. I'm going to avoid any other ads like the plague for this thing, looks killer.

I am watching on a really shitty computer that can barely play video. What the fuck was that a trailer for?

Posted by: the_Wakeful at July 5, 2007 4:43 PM

I'm just delighted that Nexus 6 elected to use Rachael smoking as her avatar. "I didn't know how long we had together .... Who does?"

I'd like to see one of them-thar "graphics novels" about Firefly, the kind the kids talk about. It has to be pre-"Serenity" adventures, obviously, because of Wash. That's a show that would translate easily to graphic writing.

They should use Nick's "serious sex machine" grimace on one of those "O-face/death face" quizzes.

There's this, but it's more a graphic short story than a graphic novel.

That comic strip was great. And totally plausible. I am sure there was going to be a "dainty ladies get horny for Mal while being robbed" scene in season 2. I just know it.

That Slate article would explain a lot about certain celebs dietary issues. Maybe they aren't all cokewhores, but just have shitty metabolisms! And only SOME of them are cokewhores.

I am so gonna start a FireWars group by next year. I must shoot miniature explosives at my dearest friends.

Here's info on that mysterious trailer, which looks pretty frickin rad...almost as awesome as Nick's face in the naked pic ;-)

WHAT?!? "This video is no longer available" my ass. I inadvertantly viewed the image of Nick Lachay doing the nasty and I don't even get to see super double secret probation trailer? Lame!

Posted by: Genny at July 5, 2007 6:30 PM

Jerce, you're the bestest! That went right on to my wish list, along with the "Serenity Visual Companion," so now my mother-in-law can get me something non-useless for Christmas. Good ol' Amazon also reminded me that the Serenity Collector's Edition dvd comes out August 21. Yay!

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at July 5, 2007 6:54 PM

Son of a bitch! Sorry guys, I just looked for a replacement and Paramount has ordered all 20-some trailers on YouTube to be removed. "No internet, please don't hype our new movie. For free." That is lame. Really fucking lame.

I'll keep searching for a replacement, so check back later!

Posted by: litelysalted at July 5, 2007 6:59 PM

I understand, Ms.Salted, really. It's just been a rough day what with almost losing a toe to hypothermia in Miami in JULY thanks to a torrential downpour that laughed at my umbrella and a classroom air conditioned down to artic like temperatures. Honest to god, as I walked back through my flooded campus barefoot (the sandals were soaked through and mostly useless) my feet were so numb it felt like I was walking on rubber.

I feel better now that I've told that story to a group of strangers who will likely not bother to read it. Anyway, boo on Paramount. Mysterious, trailer pulling bastards.

Posted by: Genny at July 5, 2007 7:07 PM

I don't mean to put a damper on the enthusiasm for that untitled J.J. Abrams produced flick, but c'mon: It looked like War of the Worlds filmed with shaky handheld cameras. And its release date is set for January 18. Tell me one film -- ONE film -- released in mid-January that was any damn good? It's Blair Witchian hype -- as soon as the secrecy behind the project is unveiled, the movie will be revealed for what it is: Low-budget Michael Bay hackery. I could be wrong, but really: January 18th? That's studio dumping grounds -- I think that's the same weekend Code Name Cleaner was released this year.

Those Harry Potter kids are indeed too cute. I don't even mind Rupert's wearing the too-cool-for-school t-shirt and sneakers to the premiere. He is rocking that look. But don't push it, kid. You don't want to be a poor man's Pete Doherty.

Posted by: Bianca Reagan at July 5, 2007 7:44 PM

Jerce, you're the bestest!

Thanks for noticing.

...the Serenity Collector's Edition dvd...

What? WHAT?! "Collector's Edition"? What's it got on it??

Seriously, my original DVD of Serenity has extra features up the ying-yang--what more could they possibly load on?

Posted by: Jerce at July 5, 2007 8:03 PM

you hadn;t heard jerce? check whedonesque, if you're a sad fanboy like the rest of us, but yeah it's got a whole new audio commentary, a full on tour of serenity and a bunch of other things.

leads me to wonder what happened to the serenity set, post serenity. anyone know?

litely, any luck on the video? im gonna be forced to scower the internet to find what the film is and ruin the suprise pretty soon. ehhhh???

Posted by: Max at July 5, 2007 8:17 PM

Jerce:

I don't have the official first dvd -- just my copy burned from HBO -- so you'll have to be the one to call "bullshit," but Amazon claims these are the "All New Bonus Features":

- almost 7 minutes of extended scenes.
- Cast and crew give a tour of the ship.
- "A Filmmaker's Journey" (20 minutes) with Joss Whedon.
- An "expose" (WTF?) on cinematographer Jack Green and his team.
- A 20-minute featurette hosted by Adam Baldwin going over the history of "the film that was resurrected from a cancelled television show, as well as its supportive culture."
- "Session 416" -- "internet pieces documenting a portion of River's participation in a psychological study and her interactions with her therapist."
- Feature Commentary with Whedon, Fillion, Baldwin, Glau, and Glass.

I've stopped banking a movie's credibility and ability to entertain, in relation to when it comes out anymore. Some of the best movies come out during "dumping ground" times of the year now...some of the worst hackneyed (albeit money makers) have come out in the last three months (Spidey 3 anyone???)

Posted by: Be Adequite! at July 5, 2007 8:44 PM

Paramount has ordered all 20-some trailers on YouTube to be removed. "No internet, please don't hype our new movie. For free." That is lame. Really fucking lame.

I agree, litely, but this film does have an internet presence. I found this post on filmick which contains several links (boy, do I hate the term "viral," but that's the best description for this stuff). Some readers may find some of it interesting.

The current title being used for this film is Cloverfield but that seems likely to change before it is released.

Posted by: Jerce at July 5, 2007 9:14 PM

Defamer has a link to the JJ Abrams trailer (about halfway down the page). The trailer looks great but Lost and the way Alias ended has left me so bitter about anything JJ touches. The fucker killed off SpyDaddy!

Posted by: Marianne at July 5, 2007 9:15 PM

socalled-dammit-your-handle-is-too-long:

Okay, two of the things you listed are not on my DVD. The Baldwin-narrated thing is, I think, a documentary I heard about but haven't seen; and "Session 416" is new to me.

All the rest of that stuff is a) on my DVD and b) super-super cool, even the cinematography stuff, which is usually the sort of DVD "extra" that bores me to tears.

A caveat about the deleted scenes: They are interesting but don't really add anything to the story, which is why they were cut. Joss Whedon made a fine, tight little movie. I'm looking forward to seeing his next.

Posted by: Jerce at July 5, 2007 9:23 PM

Fixed! Thanks, Marianne!

I'm totally doing the superior dance right now -- in your face Paramount!

Posted by: litelysalted at July 5, 2007 9:29 PM

Jerce - Session 416 is pretty cool. It's a series of internet clips Whedon did where he himself plays a doctor "working on" River. It's great to watch the progression as she starts out sweet and sane and slowly... goes... crazy...

If you dig around, you can find them on the interweb.

Posted by: TK at July 5, 2007 10:04 PM

Well, shoot. It will be new to me, so I'll spring for it.

Is it okay to be mad at Joss Whedon for cashing in on fan-love with an utterly unnecessary "collector's edition"? Or is that totally the studio/production co. being dicks?

Posted by: socalledonlycousins at July 6, 2007 10:13 AM

That trailer in the theater gave me chills. And not just because I'm a huge Kaiju nerd...

Ok, it's totally because I'm a huge Kaiju nerd, and the prospect of a new giant monster movie, that won't suck, makes me giddy.

Oh, who am I kidding, it's going to be awful, here's the director: http://imdb.com/name/nm0716257/

Posted by: Seth L at July 6, 2007 10:59 AM

That J.J. Abrams movie is currently being called "Cloverfield."

Posted by: Eric at July 6, 2007 12:33 PM

Curse you Pajiba comment filter!

Chud has more on the J.J. Abrahms thing, including two lost-ish websites.

There goes my hope it's a Gamera movie.
