I always thought the name Serenity had a vaguely funereal sound to it.

Ditto Matt. If agreeing with you isn't too spoilerish.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

To be fair, it's not like Coppola's Dracula where some of the wardrobe choices actually took me out of the movie. ("Where would Lucy Westerna get an anime-style Japanese wedding dress in Victorian London? And they buried her in it?!?") But there are some inconsistencies with the show, and where things were changed they tended not to be for the better.

t random

I used to work with one of Ruth E. Carter's friends, and she went to the Oscars as RC's guest on year. My co-worker was very pregnant at the time, and there was some story about a brush with Harrison Ford and drinks (sans alocohol) and gallantry, but I can't really remember it. I think the main part was that she didn't realize the nice guy who had done whatever nice thing for her was Harrison Ford until after. Der.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

The link, by the way, is to the IMDB quotes page for the movie, including some I'd consider moderately spoily.

Another social casualty...

I just saw a TV ad for Serenity on ESPN's Sunday NFL countdown. It was a shortened version of one of the theater trailers, showcasing action and humor.

I think it's a pretty good place to be doing TV marketing.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor

Like many IMDB quotes pages, this one seems to have been done largely from memory. :shakes head:

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

justkim, that rocks! I'm pretty excited about that kind of exposure!

My unnecessary exclamation points and I are leaving now.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
