Can you explain to me what Flash does for this page: http://www.serenitymovie.com/synop.html? It's just bloody annoying. It stops me using my scroll wheel, and makes me scroll at the pathetic Flash specified pace. No thank you! That page could be straight HTML and CSS.

Well, for what it's worth, I managed to get to this blog post:

Note: POSSIBLE SPOILERS

June 22, 2004 - Hey there Blogerinos!

Dusty Bottoms here with your first official report from the set of SERENITY. Think of me as your man inside, your Dabney Coleman if you will. Yup, the man with the plan, the inside scoop, the in's, the out's, the what have you's. That's all I can say about myself for now. For if you knew my true identity... Well, I'd probably just have to get a larger inbox.

Anyway, as you probably already know from Capt. Tightpants' blog, principal photography began a little over two weeks ago and they've been shooting out on location making with the false science. But what you don't know, and I'm happy to report, is the rampage Mr. Whedon is on. Yes indeed, I got to sneak a peek of some of the footage and it looks amazing. They have this full-size mobile movie theatre for screening dailies and I tell you this, seeing our crew up on the big screen is freegin' awesome! Big Damn Heroes.

The past two weeks have been like something out of Enemy Mine. No wait... Beastmaster. I'm just kidding. Or am I? Could the random reference have anything to do with a Louis Gossett Jr. sighting? Perhaps Book is reunited with his long lost brother? Maybe Mr. Junior hijacks the crew of Serenity and heads to the center of the galaxy in a search for God. Eh? Eh?

But enough spoiler action - for now. Recently they completed filming a sequence out in the desert and it was gorramn exciting I tell ya. Do you remember the Mule/ATV from the series? (Prominently displayed in which three eps?) What if that Mule was addicted to steroids and had been eating nothing but egg whites, bulking up on Creatine and working out six days a week? Now imagine it wasn't an ATV at all, but more of, say... a HOVER CRAFT! You should see this thing flying past you with our gang in the cockpit. Whooooosh!

As for the cast - the gang is so jazzed up just being back together; and to make a movie no less. They are making awesome with the acting. If Nathan Fillion was any more charming he could turn a straight man gay. I'm just sayin' is all. And just thinking about Morena and Jewel could turn a gay woman, well, even gayer. Oye! Here's a question: If Niska was holding the girls hostage in his space-torture-plex-thingy and you could only save one, who would it be? You pervert.

Now for the juicy details only your inside man, Dusty, could bring you. Hold on to your hats! (No, not the one's from "Safe".) Unfortunately, last Monday's shoot did not go without incident. At lunchtime the catering truck served prime rib with garlic-mashed potatoes and some sort of mixed green salad with goat cheese, pecans and strawberries. But even more shocking than the lack of a vegan alternative, was the discovery made by one of our cast members. Trying to conceal a secret sham, this unnamed star wandered around back of the chow truck to sneak a side of ketchup for his salad. It was there that he witnessed the caterers secretly using Mrs. Dash instead of salt. Nooooooooooo!

This is Dusty Bottoms saying, "Beat it, geek."

And of course the mods miss the blaitant spam. Submitter is getting points for every slashdot clickthru.
