Not even a moment, it happened the morning after the square was cleared. Those tanks were leaving.

Reminder that Whedon wanted an episode centered around the courtesan getting kidnapped and raped, and having her poisoned vagina killed her rapists

https://gizmodo.com/the-firefly-episode-were-really-glad-joss-whedon-didnt-5959794

quote:

"he had this magic syringe. She would take this drug. And if she were, for instance, raped, the rapist would die a horrible death. The story was that she gets kidnapped by Reavers and when Mal finally got to the ship to save her from the Reavers, he gets on the Reaver ship and all the Reavers are dead. Which would suggest a kind of really bad assault. At the end of the episode, he comes in after she's been horribly brutalized, and he comes in and he gets down on his knee, and he takes her hand. And he treats her like a lady. And that's the kind of stuff that we wanted to do. It was very dark. And this was actually the first story that Joss pitched to me when he asked me to come work on the show. He said, 'These are the kind of stories we're going to do.'"

“The way that he talks is based on Dana’s impression of his son,” says Armisen, who kindly gave Carvey a heads up before the sketch debuted: “So I sent him an email before it aired, I was like, ‘Hey, just so you know, we’re gonna do this sketch called ‘The Californians’ and it comes from your impression of your son.’”

also i started watching Charlie Wilson's War cause it showed up on netflix. is this a good movie or CIA propaganda

cause everyone's in it but i somehow doubt the veracity and intentions of a story that opens with a sexy senator (who surely had all the looks and charm of Tom Hanks and completely consensual non-exploitive relationships with many ladies) getting the idea to fund the Mujahedeen through a Dan Rather broadcast

the latter but the distinction is a subtle one the lynchpin of american propaganda is the need to emphasize that we always mean well movies can depict the american government doing bad things but only due to individual bad actors who have been discredited as political undesirables for the last several years

in the case of charlie wilsons war charlie wilson himself and his various allies including the cia are portrayed as the good guys because theyre fighting against SOVIET OPPRESSION but only fail in the long term because other more short sighted senators refuse to continue funding the operation after the soviets have been kicked in the nuts

this interpretation of events very generously assumes that there was ever a point to the operation aside from just kicking the soviets in the nuts and hinges on both charlie wilson as well as the viewer being too fantastically ignorant about who the mujahedeen are and why theyre fighting against the soviets in the first place to assume that there was anything we could have done in the wake of their victory that would have made them not a pariah state

I saw the midnight premiere of this film in my hometown with an autistic guy who won a bunch of money on who wants to be a millionaire - movie edition. The guy bought me and my friends tickets and he really enjoyed it. I would have been 17 and he was in his 40s. he didnt have sex with me or any of my friends, as far as I know. He spent most of the money on a PT cruiser.
