Spoilery when you get to the middle of page 2.
And continues to be spoilery for a couple of paragraphs after that.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finished converting my friend.
After we were done, she said, "Why was this cancelled?"
"Ratings," I said.
She said she liked it better than Angel.
We're seeing Serenity in twenty-one hours.
Whee, toaster.

Yay Toaster!
Good review, the best I've seen yet -- but then Zacharek is admittedly a Firefly fan.

Anyone watch this week's Bones on Fox? At the end of the ep, they announced that the series was going on hiatus until the end of baseball. Fuckos. I mean, it's good they learned something, but Jesus.

Yeah, I heard that and thought, "Oh, no...is this going to be the FOX kiss of death?" It's bound to happen to me at least once a season. (If you count The Inside, then I guess it has. *grumble*)

But the fact that they're finally recognizing that you can't just preempt willy-nilly until November and still count those ratings? If they'd done the same thing for FF, I bet you money we'd have gotten more than 11 eps. They're carrying baseball, that's not a surprise. So either start the shows in Nov., like they did with X-Files for a while, or take October off. But tell people, and don't fuck with it the way they did with FF. It's not rocket science.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.
The Age gives Serenity another good review. Interestingly, the reviewer closes her review with this: "Serenity has some busy action-adventure sequences, and CGI dogfights that have a touch of Star Wars Lite about them. Although they're capably done, they tend to detract from the pleasure of the film: this is a rich, tricky, smart and complex compression of past, present and future worlds, a creative enterprise given a welcome extension of life on the big screen."

move out and draw fire
You. All. Suck.
My movie options are The 40-year-old Virgin and Stygian Water, which, while a cool translation of the title, is still NOT SERENITY.
(unsubscribing, although not flouncing. Enjoy the movie, gang!)

Am I right in thinking Serenity's only playing at one DC-area theater?
