The Whedonverse

[velcro_fly]

Does the "Whedon-verse" now include "The Avengers" or still just Buffy, Spike, Angel and Cordelia????

I would like everyone's help if you have a minute to aid my obsessive-compulsive shopping. I have narrowed down my Jayne Hat Hunt to four links (to be fair, the last one's page hasn't been updated in a while, so I'm not sure it's still available) and would like opinions on which one looks closest to the real thing. I'm thinking right now this would be a great Halloween costume if I pair it with a Jayne shirt, I've seen some Blue Sun shirts around.

Jayne Hat 1
Jayne Hat 2
Jayne Hat 3
Jayne Hat 4

Or if you've seen a better one around, let me know. Thanks for the help!

I'd say #3

[Ka-mai]

Thanks for the input!

I've narrowed it down to 2 or 3, there's a Blue Sun shirt on Busted Tees, and my friend told me to go buy a Nerf gun for Vera.

I am gonna rock this.

[John Blaze]

is this just because or a halloween thing?

[Ka-mai]

The hat was just because I NEED a cunning hat, I love it so much, and then I thought, "when am I actually going to wear this?" and decided to make it a full-on costume. I also just need a vent for the way I've gotten ridiculously obsessed over this series in the past few weeks. (Seriously, I'm getting a little insane. )

I'll probably end up wearing the outfit around my apartment, though. So it's a little of both?

[velcro_fly]

I think we all would love to see a picture of your final costume!

And I think I remember you saying you didn't really care for it when you first started watching it
You're also really making me want to go and do a rewatch now.

I didn't like it at all at first, especially River just cowering and whining. I wanted to beat her. I honestly didn't like her or Simon at all until Serenity. Also episode 5 is just awful, but once I got past that I think the show got a lot better, and Serenity is just amazing.

I will definitely post pics of my final costume, but I STILL can't pick a hat (I see good qualities in both and just can't decide) and I'm kind of waiting on the shirt a little to see if it goes on sale. Also I'm being disciplined and not buying either until I get a paycheck.

I've been thinking about doing a Malcolm costume for a while. I had kind of considered doing a steampunk gunslinger but figured that I'm not that hipster, for 1, and by the time I got around to wearing it I'd be over it. So I'm thinking of doing either a Malcolm or a Dr. Horrible outfit.

Ya, OK. Keep me in the loop on that, cool?

[Ka-mai]

Do it!

I was looking at Firefly cosplays last night (I have no life) and realized nobody dresses as Book. Absolutely nobody. It's kind of bothering me now. Although I guess nobody has Fabulous Hair like he does....

[John Blaze]

lol@ the Fro episode. That shit was funny.

[Ka-mai]

I'm kind of sad he didn't leave it that way... I disliked his hairstyle in Serenity. I know that's a ridiculous detail to get hung up on, but still.

[Ka-mai]

I am a proud owner of a Jayne hat! Pics eventually.

:happy dance:

[John Blaze]

I'm the new proud owner of something else as well. I'll wait until I get it to post.

[Ka-mai]

How long do we have to wait til we find out?!

I have pics of the hat but I don't know how to get them off my boyfriend's iPhone and onto the interwebs.

[Darkthoughts]

Has anyone seen The Cabin In The Woods, yet? Any good?

[Heather19]

No, but I've been dying to!

[Darkthoughts]

Same! My sisters are too wussy to take me, and my other cinema driving buddy is currently in Scotland...how inconsiderate

[evilash]

I saw it Saturday night and LOVED it! Not only tense at times but super funny as well. You must see it knowing as little as possible about it. Read no reviews and avoid trailers if you can. Lovingly pays tribute to all things horror while tearing apart the trappings and conventions. Nuff said. Go see it!

[Ka-mai]

.

[John Blaze]

YES! HAHAHAHAHA!

That looks awesome, Ka-Mai. Congratulations.

[Ka-mai]

Thanks! I would be wearing it right now if it wasn't 70 degrees out. I seriously wore it around my boyfriend's apartment all weekend. It's on a teddy bear now because I can't stand to put it away where I can't see it.

I think it's pretty screen-accurate, so if anyone else is looking to get one I can tell you where I got it.

Edit: Tonight I ordered a Blue Sun shirt, so in a couple weeks I'll have a pretty sweet outfit.

I would say this is a fair evaluation. My opinion, which you SHOULD NOT read before seeing the movie because it will spoil things:

Spoiler:

It's a combination of Scream and Hunger Games, with tributes to Evil Dead, Cube, Hellraiser and Thirteen Ghosts. I'm sure there's a lot more references we're missing. Anyway, it's really fascinating to see the influences.

Just started Dollhouse. Is Fran Kranz usually the same person when he acts? I've only ever seen him in Cabin in the Woods so I don't want to assume anything. But he's pretty much the same guy.
