t delurks like a delurking thing

I work for a relatively large theater chain (Cinemark), where I do fun things like put movies together. I'm pretty sure that if you're going to a Cinemark this weekend to see HHG, you're not going to find the trailer. I'm 90% sure that trailers are consistent across the company, and there's no sign of it.

Of course, there's no guarantee that theaters in bigger cities, like NY or LA, won't have it despite my nay-saying.


In related news, my friend's comment upon watching the trailer? "That is SO the most phallic ship I have ever seen."

Oh, I think The Lexx probably outdoes Serenity in that department.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Wow, I think that one even outdoes the ship in Flesh Gordon.

I'm pretty sure the Lexx is the product of too much pot.

Well, in the actual show the shaftfusilage is thinner, so it ends up looking more like a dragonfly than the schematic. But they made sure to re-use a shot of it rotating in every episode that kind of brought the phallic nature home.

Wow.... plus, is the "Monster" the class name or something? Because... woah.

So, after the fancy animated Universal logo fades away, New Orleans lights up. What's up with that?

Also. WHEEE!

Looks like River brings some whupass on Reavers as well as regular bar folk.

And I sure wish I knew where that particular southern California location with the big rock face actually is, since I'm thinking - hey, I wanna go rockclimb on that! I didn't know that there is anything like that in the Santa Clarita sort of area where they filmed a bunch of the exteriors.

Non-spoilery review of Serenity, based on a screening in Australia.

I’ve been a firefly fan from the start. Joss is a genius. Buffy. Angel. Firefly. The best TV out there. Now that’s a lot of hype. My expectations for this flick were huge. I had so many ideas in my mind, they have to explore this, and they have to do that!

So, what happened?

I was absolutely blown away. It was just so amazing. It surpassed all my expectations and even though I didn’t think it was possible, gave me that much more respect for joss, the cast and the crew of firefly.
