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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Serenity not doing well at Rotten Tomatoes (currently 57%).

eta: Though I saw this comment in place of one review:

SORRY - despite the fact that this film has already been screened to the general public at the Edinburgh Festival, Universal has slapped on an extra embargo, and the full review cannot appear here until two days before the film opens in the USA. No idea why, since it's actually rather good. All we can say is come back here on Sep 28th...

So the numbers might change dramatically tomorrow.

Hey. New board.

I love that rottentomatoes calls the Variety review a splat and the Village Voice a fresh, while metacritic calls both of them a 70.

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.

I tried reading the Variety review to see why it would be considered "splatty" and my brain threatened hurl itself out my ears after just two paragraphs of Variety-speak.

Hey. New board.

I don't think it's a bad review at all. Metacritic called it better.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

On my way home from work I heard an ad for Serenity. Interesting thing about the ad is that it focused on the "sneak preview" showings, how fast they sold out and the reaction of the viewers.(though that was fairly generic)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This weekend, I discovered that Atherton Wing = Danny Hecht! Hee.

You know, I caught part of the first Alias episode on Sunday and I was wondering why Danny looked familiar (beyond me having seen the episode before.) Of course, I thought Atherton looked familiar and couldn't place him either. It all makes sense now.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

You gotta love Nathan (from the SciFi interview linked upthread):

(Interviewer:) Are you all signed for another movie or two more?

Baccarin: Two more.

Torres: Two more.

Fillion: You are? This is awkward.

What is even happening?

I had confirmation of getting press passes for tonight's screening in Boston, but that didn't guarantee a seat. It's too much work to get a babysitter, and haul my cookies into town for a free maybe. I'd rather pay the ten bucks at the local theater, instead.

But I've just gotten text messages from Cashmere via her cell phone, and now I'm feeling just a little bit of regret. *sniff*
