You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, "Why not?"
George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), "Back to Methuselah" (1921), part 1, act 1
Don't let fear convince you that you're too weak to have courage. Fear is the opportunity for courage, not the proof of cowardice.
McCain, John (2004, September). In Search of Courage: Finding the Courage Within You. FastCompany, 51-56.
In the search for character and commitment, we must rid ourselves of our inherited, even cherished biases and prejudices. Character, ability and intelligence are not concentrated in one sex over the other, nor in persons with certain accents or in certain races or in persons holding degrees from some universities over others. When we indulge ourselves in such irrational prejudices, we damage ourselves most of all and ultimately assure ourselves of failure in competition with those more open and less biased.
J. Irwin Miller, Chairman of the Board (1951-1977), Cummins Inc. From 1983 letter about diversity at the company.

New Joss Whedon Movie
I am an unabashed Joss Whedon fan. And believe me this surprises no one more then me. You see when the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie was released in 1992 I saw the promos and thought "just what we need a comedy horror movie that parodies stupid high school movies and adds vampires." p.s. the movie was mostly billed as a Luke Perry film which made the whole thing even weirder. Needless to say I have never seen the film.
Then when the TV show of the same name premiered I thought, "Gezzz TV sucks." Boy was I wrong. Sometime in the second season I actually watched the show and totally fell in love. The writing is amazing...quick, quirky, believable, and entertaining. So I watched the series, when I could since it was on WB and UPN which are not always available, until it ended in 2003.
And I also watched Angel from the beginning of the series until to was canceled. I watched it too for the writing.
So today I decided to do a little internet searching and see what Whedon is writing now. So of course I am reminded of the series Firefly which I have never seen since it was not broadcast on a channel my non-cable house can't receive. And now I see there is to be a Firefly movie, Serenity out this fall. This is a big budget movie from Universal. Should be interesting to see what Whedon can do with a big budget and a, at least partially, ready made fan base. Check out the trailer and the movie site, click on the film name above. Oh and mark your calendar for September. If Whedon wrote it it is bound to be a fun time at the movies.
