We haven't seen Stunt Husband around here recently, have we?
Nope, work has devoured him. Again.

Art Crawl!!!
I saw the Serenity trailer with Batman Begins today. There was a father and son sitting in front of me. After the trailer the son says, "that looked good." And the dad replies, "what was that?"
So kind of a good reaction from people who had obviously never seen the show. (The son was pretty young in the 8-10 age range.)

Now tagless for your comfort.
DH was reading my EW and called out to me, "hey, I think your Firefly boy is going to be in a new movie." I looked and saw it was a piece on Serenity.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Saw the trailer in front of Batman today. Unfortunately, aside from me, there was dead silence from the audience during, though one guy did chuckle at Mal shooting The Operative at the end of the trailer.

All is well that ends in pizza.
They were all stunned into silence.
Think about it. If a movie looks crappy, who hesitates to make loud remarks? Nobody. Sure it wasn't being watched by the likes of us who know what it is, but it's not being heckled.
Not being heckled? Good thing.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.
Yeah, during one trailer--for some big budget thing that won't hit theatres until 2006--played before episode 3, the catcall was: "Wait for video." And variations. I'm just guessing, but I suspect the silent simply had no idea who or what a Joss Whedon is.

The evil is this way?
My sister never watched "Firefly". She told me after she saw the trailer that she still has no real idea what the movie is about. She knows I liked the show and she will probably go see the movie, but the trailer didn't pull her in. She did seem impressed that a movie of a cancelled TV series got made, particularly with the original cast. She also laughed when I mentioned some of Joss' comments about the film, and she seemed more inclined to see the movie after hearing about him than after seeing the trailer.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
I had the opposite experience. I invited some coworkers last weekend to accompany me to the upcoming Serenity screening. I was in a rush, so when they looked at me with blank faces and asked, "The what screening?", all I could do is give a quick rundown (set in the future, space, wild west flavor, no aliens, etc.) and mention it was by Joss Whedon. They all said they'd get back to me.
After one of them saw the Serenity trailer paired with Batman Begins, he gave me a definite "yes" and convinced the other two to also take me up on the offer. He must have mentioned that he was going to the movie to some of his other friends, and one of them must be a fan because someone loaned him the Firefly DVDs. I got a text message at 3 a.m. today from him saying that he just finished watching "Serenity" (the episode) and he thought it was "kick-ass" and was getting hooked. He messaged me again tonight telling me he was going to watch "The Train Job." (I responded by suggesting he could skip the order and watch some of my favorites like "Out of Gas" by Thursday.)

Saw the trailer before Batman Begins today. First of all, I adored that movie. Damn.
Second, there was silence pretty much through all the trailers and the theater wasn't crowded, so... 'twas fine. For them. For me? Trailer!! Rock!!
