it looks like it'll be rebroadcast at 1:00 am (Eastern time) Friday night/Saturday morning.
Oh, thank you! Because my DVR is kind of wonky, and I have a tech guy coming on Friday, but if he has to replace my DVR, I'll lose the recording. I was saving it for after the movie so I don't get spoiled.
The
Serenity
segment is about fifteen minutes in (after the first commercial break), and it's pretty nice. Short interviews with Joss, Nathan and Morena, and Adam and Jewel (though she doesn't say anything). The clips are pretty much all ones we've seen in trailers, so it's not spoilery. They also show clips from the Joss video for the special screenings and clips of fans at Comic-Con and such.
The old "the fans made it happen" statement is repeated, and Kevin notes that the Browncoat hype has made
him
feel the buzz, so that's cool.
Nice segment.
A fun, positive, and non-spoilery review from the Dallas Observer.
During one preview screening, a colleague who'd never seen the show--a campy-quirky take on John Ford's Stagecoach, set 500 years in a future run by the Alliance, which isn't to be confused with the Empire or the Federation--leaned over and asked, "Was the show this good?"
...Expect a sequel; hell, maybe Serenity will spawn its own TV series, too. Oh, wait.
Google News is listing Serenity reviews in its Entertainment section. Since GN is bot driven, it gives you some indication of the popularity of the topic right now.
Oh yeah, right now this is the "headline" link at Google News: [link]

That link is bad, Eddie.
Details, details... fixed now, thanks.
moonlit and I are just back from seeing
Serenity.
The nearest cinema screening it was Mt Gambier, over the border in Sth Australia. Thank fuck for the time difference b/c without it we would've missed the first 20 minutes but since they're a half-hour behind, we got there with about 5 minutes to spare. :)
It's about a 75 minute drive to Mt Gambier on a narrow, winding, road fraught with the danger of kangaroos bounding in front of the car but it was worth every. damn. hair-raising. minute!
The only criticism I can find is not about the movie but about Joss' direction; he seemed to forget he was filming for the big screen and had a few too many close-ups. What's fine and necessary for the small screen, doesn't necessarily look so good on a cinema screen.
Were Nathan's nostrils twenty stories tall?
Were Nathan's nostrils twenty stories tall?
...and by "nostrils" you mean "butt".
And he was working them too.
eta: Uhh, nostrils, not butt cheeks, or anything.
