Good one. LOL

Almost as strange as the way that Peter Jackson decided to direct Lord of the Rings despite disbelieving in orcs.

I know you aren't trying to come off like a totally menatally invalid of an idiot, but you really are doing a stellar impression of one....

Would you have the same reaction about Donita K Paul then?

I just wish this had been made in Europe.

Not quite so prudish, you know...

The one where his (really hot) would-be wife gets the drop on him, sets him up and leaves him naked in the desert until he's rescued and he insists it was all part of his clever plan. Never gonna admit he got conned. :lol:

Speaking of atheist directors, here's Chuck Lorre, director of the Big Bang Theory, huge success on tv these last years, and still going on.
At the end of each episode, you can see (for 2 or 3 seconds), a message. It's called a Vanity Card, and it's written by Chuck Lorre himself, and they're sometimes quite funny. This one for example :

Always loved this one:

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #198 (CENSORED)

In tonight's episode we explored the subject of lying to avoid hurting someone's feelings. During the climactic final scene, the character of "Cousin Leo" blamed his fabricated drug addiction on having been molested in the Philippines by an equally fabricated Naval officer named Chaplain Horrigan. In the original shooting script the make-believe molester was called Father Horrigan. CBS strongly objected to this. Their concern was that Catholic viewers would be offended by any suggestion that a Catholic priest would molest a child. I argued that several billion dollars in punitive damage payments established a reasonable link between priests and diddled kids. My argument fell on deaf ears (no offense to our hearing-impaired viewers). Outraged, I decided I was an eight-hundred pound gorilla and threatened to shoot the scene as written. Their lawyers, eight-pound spider monkeys at best, threatened to cut it. I immediately blinked and changed the word "father" to "chaplain." CBS's problem went away. Apparently, a non-denominational, drunken pedophile is inoffensive. But more importantly, our Catholic viewers did not get their feelings hurt.

I remember that episode as well. I got a kick out of it, because a Chaplain can be ANY religion, so in essence he "offended" all of them.

The latest one

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #369

He was under no illusion that his brain was doing anything other than providing him with illusion. Needless to say, this created a bit of a quandary. If your understanding of your environment is based on a funhouse mirror reflection of what's really going on, then every single thought has to be viewed with suspicion. Which created yet another quandary - paralysis by analysis. What, if any, is the appropriate action one takes in response to a constant flow of cerebral misinformation? Of course there was always the option to move through the world with great certainty, pretending that his consciousness was hardwired into the absolute truth of existence. The obvious downside in that would be talking and behaving like a presidential candidate. After some time to inaccurately reflect, he devised a scientific solution that he hoped would ease not only his own suffering, but the suffering of all mankind. He called it Apologetics™. The basis for his amazing breakthrough can be seen below in what millions of Apologists around the world call The Mea Culpa Triangle.

and the trinagle in question :

I guess the bold part is about Rick Perry :lol:

He did get conned, true. But getting conned was an intrinsic part of his clever plan. He knew perfectly well she would stab him in the back the first chance she got and - rather than try and work out how she was going to do it, think of a counter plan, think what she would do to counter the counter plan, work out a counter counter plan plan etc. - just factored her inevitable betrayal into the original plan.

That's why the plan was so clever.

I watched the series after seeing this thread, I really liked it, the music is so incongruous and yet fits and is marvelous, of course that applies to the whole series, too bad it ended too soon, but better than being so popular they string it out way into mediocrity and worse.

Wasn't there some thing about trying to raise the money for Nathan Fillion to buy the rights to Firefly a while back? I don't know, I have these vague memories.

Firefly, brilliant sense of humor about it. I just love it. The jokes are often completely unexpected, like characters going against their principles or making an idiot out of themselves when you really don't expect them to. Like in the movie based on the show, when Jayne is whining and the captain says "You wanna be captain?" and Jayne says "Yes." And the captain says: Well... you... you can't!
