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."
biotch.
I poop on first post
I do so hope that this ad is being paid for.
I mean, really. If I wanted to look at ads I'd go to fark.
/. marketing...how wall street...
why do people find murdering murderers so objectionable?
Islam is the religion of peace (tm). If you want world peace, you must convert to islam, convince your friends to do the same, and commit suicide bombings against everyone else!
How can you argue that someone who killed several people (and enjoyed doing so) does not deserve to die himself? I'm not paying .003 cents to feed/clothe/house/gaurd that bastard for 50 years, I'll tell you that.
I find state-sponsored murder objectionable.
Because it's murder. It's taking someone elses life deliberately. People consider murder wrong regardless of who the victim is.
instead of sending the DVD, market it out in DiVX or XViD format, even AC3 is possible
people will buy your DVD if you add the special features, booklet, commentary,packaging etc
It's not free, it's the daily sponsored infomercial disguised as a story - notice no ads? That's a big hint.
Sorry to say that a death sentence,appeals,execution costs MUCH more than just housing them for life.
If it comes down to money, death sentence is NOT cheaper.
Moderate the parent "Troll." The "person" who "posted" it clearly has no intellect. He does not "get it."
Someone "beat" this "person" with the "clue stick" until he "gets it."
Or it's just society deciding to protect itself from dangerous individuals.
Maxim: People cannot follow directions.
Increases in truth directly with the length of time spent explaining them
That's not a bug, it's a feature!
It's backwards and sick how some so-called "civilized" nations will spare the life of a killer/career criminal, yet they have no scruples about murdering an innocent child inside the womb (or outside the womb in the case of partial-birth abortion).
Therein lies the problem. A bullet only costs a few cents. If you really want to do it on the cheap, just use an axe which is reuseable. Once a verdict has been rendered, dispense with the lawyers and carry out the sentence immediately.
Too bad we'll have to wait years before this sand nigger gets the needle.
While he's in prison, I hope the GNAA finds him.
PLEASE keep your pro-life non-sense off of this board, your pathetic attempts at rationalizing your dieing argument is worthless. Please read your diatribe to someone who gives a f$%^
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.
