recently got to watch the whole firefly series...had seen serenity and loved it, my boss is a brown coat, now so am i. i hope we get another sequel or something!
old star wars owned. new ones sucked. thats were serenity came in, to make modern sci fi suck a little less. (would've been a lot less, had the series not been cancelled.)
Just came back from Toronto FanExpo. Morena was there and mentioned she saw her speech here on YouTube. She thought it was funny how you can still hear her speak as she is walking away.
With enormous respect for Joss Whedon's writing I have to call him out on the phony "I'm honored and priviliged to win this award blah blah BS BS", while being too hip to show up and accept it in person.
Here's a transcript (let me know if you see any mistakes):
Morena: I prepared this whole big speech and then Joss sent me an email. So here goes:
"Dear Hugoers. This is an enormous honor for me. I read Sci-Fi veraciously as a child, and the stamp on a book saying Winner of Hugo Awards, was as exciting to me as if it had read -- contains pretty girls. I don't know who Hugo was or where he came from, just that he could kick that Pulitzer guy's ass when it came to choosing awesome [women].
It's amazing to me that I grew up to win this award without writing a book or even really mastering the English language. When I think back of the horrible pain of working with that cast of homely neurotic divas it all seems worth it. It wasn't, but it seems like it was.
The truth is, this film represent an obsessive love for [me]. The kind of love I've only felt of a very select number of films, albums, but most significantly, for the Sci-Fi novels I read as a child. To Frank Herbert and to Frederik Pohl, to Larry Niven and to Ray Bradberry.
Gee, I hope some of these guys won Hugos or Morena is going to look like and idiot up there (thank god).
Thank you for honoring my obsession, including this one, my latest. Thanks to my cast, and to everyone who helped to bring Serenity, incredibly briefly, to the big screen. Thank you."
Funny. I love Morena's hair. If she doesn't get Wonder Woman she should at least get Catwoman... er, if they ever have a Catwoman in the new Batman movies.
at first i didn't read that the audio was out of sync and i was like "why is morena walking away while still talking??" hehe. but a very good speech! thanks for sharing

This was a great moment for SF fans. Someone who really loved SF made a great movie and is now one of SF's New Gurus. Yay Joss!
