Dear Lord! They've been on the run in space for so long, Simon's lost his fashion sense! Can Reaverdom be far behind?

Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains
Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
People in Bitches are talking about Firefly like it is all new.
My world is askew.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

It looks like a medical smock to me.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Forget Simon's fashion sense, I'm in mourning for Wash's hawaiian shirts.
I'm hoping they just didn't make it into this trailer, like Book.
is it september yet?

Tagline? What tagline?
I went to Hitchhiker's on Friday and there wasn't any Serenity trailer to be found which was sort of bummer. I was definitely looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
Speaking of the BDT, it looks like a couple of fans have already done edits to it though:
Pretty cool work.

It looks like a blue hoodie to me. Losing the vests is bad enough, but once you've given up dress shirts for sweatsuits, there's nothing left but to begin devouring human flesh and picking fights in the press with Christina Aguillera.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
If you took the sci-fi element of Pluto Nash, mixed it with the outrageousness of Steel, and added in the really bad dialogue from Paycheck, Serenity would be the result.
From this ridiculous review of the movie. It looks like there are vague spoilers (basic plot things), but nothing bad. I skimmed, mostly. But there are some great gems:
The cast is all unknown actors, and considering the director had only done television productions up until now, I was a bit skeptical.
The caliber of the special effects were out of a video game
This movie might just demand a certain tolerance that I just don’t have. The director created Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and that’s a show I’ve never been able to endure (and my complaints are similar). Television in general can be very subjective; some programs are entertaining to some people and ridiculous to others. A lot of television is there for mindless entertainment, and is programmed so that viewers can have it on in the background so you don’t have to watch with your full attention. And the problem with Serenity is that it didn't seem necessary to watch with my complete attention.
And the kicker:
I have a hunch that this movie might not even get a theatrical release (if it does, it could be a very limited release like Below). I was having a hard time imagining it playing in many theaters, let alone anybody showing up; even undemanding moviegoers might walk out. This is the kind of material anyone can see on television for free, and in only a 42-minute time frame (without commercials) versus 120. Serenity is an early contender for the worst movie of 2005 and is one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen, period.
I don't intend anyone take this guy seriously, but it's fun to laugh at him.

I may have to seize the cat.
It looks like a blue hoodie to me.
I thought it looked all mandarin-collared, and with frogs or buttons or something. /costume geek

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Not a hoodie. Half a mandarin collar, almost. But not a hoodie. More like Chinese peasant wear.

If I only had a brain...
He and his father were wearing something very similar at home, weren't they? When they were hanging out with a younger River?
