Here are some links and headlines that caught my attention this morning when my eyes still weren’t even fully opened:
As always, a new week means a new week of Can't Misses. This week includes the “Scarface” Platinum Edition DVD, which annoys me because I JUST bought the special edition DVD, and Michael Connelly’s book Echo Park, which I have been meaning to pick up.
The legendary New York punk club CBGB is closing its doors this week after 33 years of helping the world shine light onto such bands like The Ramones and Blondie.
Bad news for “Serenity/Firefly” fans. Creator Joss Whedon is not planning a sequel.

Joss Talks Sequel!

Joss Whedon sets things straight after rumours of "no sequel" in a
post on Whedonesque!
In the last part of the post he says this:
"Here's a thing: when "Firefly" was cancelled, my heart got broke.
Sounds a bit much, but it changed me. Not even "Serenity" could
patch that wound. I'm wearier, warier -- after all those years as a
movie writer, you'd think I'd be prepared for another lesson on my
unimportance in the scheme of things, but I wasn't. There are two
very separate worlds: the marketplace, and the bustling bazaar that
is my brain. The brain place is crowded with goods, ideas, sequels,
spinoffs, animated versions, miniseries, radio dramas -- this is
just the used goods. All the new wares are in there as well and it's
deafening. Once I create a verse I never let go of it. And figuring
out how much of my energy should be devoted to reawakening the
projects you all love with the actors and characters I all love, and
how much should be forging ahead and creating entirely new works
(which you are contractually obligated to love) is exhausting. More
than you know. You know the horse caught bwtween two pools of water?
Add seven pools, and make the horse wicked A.D.D. The other world,
the marketplace, I don't even begin to understand or predict. All
these rumor of projects or the death of projects... When the two
worlds align and something actually happens, whatever it is, you
guys know I'll be on this site as soon as I'm allowed to be. And
I'll be very very clear. There is no news. Not never, just now. I'm
off to lunch with Lonelygirl."
Your Scribe, -j."
Browncoats, please spread this news far and wide by forum, myspace,
blog and in any other form you can think of to help get this news
out. Many genre news sites ran the "no sequel" story prominently
yesterday and we need to kindly and gently counteract that.
Thanks all! Browncoats are the best!
