Firefly: A Special Feature

Philip B. Gaines writes "Philip B. Gaines announces the completion of an independent multimedia commentary project, "Firefly: A Special Feature", a DVD based on the FOX television series created by Joss Whedon. A free examination copy of the project is available for those willing to provide feedback about this media experiment. "Firefly: A Special Feature" is a 3.5 hour multi-module review of Whedon's innovative space western series. The interactive review features a variety of interpretive and analytical components--all intended to further discussion of this seriously underappreciated show. The bottom line of the project is dialogue, not promotion. If you have seen "Firefly" before and found it intriguing--or even if you haven't--this project will make you think, argue, and perhaps even learn a bit. For "Firefly: A Special Feature", I have acted as writer, video/sound editor, and media producer, working with complete independence from the producers of the show or anyone else whose influence might bias the analysis. Plans are underway to do this kind of project again, so I would appreciate feedback on all levels. See the website for a formal description of the project Email pbgaines@pbgaines.com for a copy of the DVD."

    Because murder is murder.

    So what's *your* answer? Pay for murderers to live on death row for 50 or 60 years at an average cost of 150k per year per prisoner? Set them free to kill again? State-sanctioned execution's main purpose is to prevent individuals who have already PROVEN that they will take human life from ever possibly doing so again. I suppose you wouldn't support "murdering" an animal with rabies, either. I bet that your views would change if that rabid animal bit your child...or if a human waste of existence murdered your family. It's easy to be "above" issues that you don't think affect you directly.
