Yeah, I checked again. Looks like it was just that they weren't all listing it yet when I checked on Tuesday. Hmm, dilemma!
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Good review, the best I've seen yet -- but then Zacharek is admittedly a Firefly fan.
She had one interesting comment on why, despite how good she thought the movie was, she felt a little unsatisfied because watching SERENITY was akin to seeing a movie adaption of a novel she loved.

Thrive to spite them
I'm worried that's how I'm going to feel.

Solid positive review from Ebert: [link]
ETA, as these things probably will be, it's a bit spoilery.

....and as the calendar changes to September 30th, 2005....the world sucks just a little bit less than yesterday and most of them that came before it......
Almost 3 years later and Serenity flies again.
Someone get Webster's on the phone and ask if they can put a small picture of the movie poster next to the word REDEMPTION.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It doesn't matter if it's spoilery -- all movie talk is allowed in here now.

What is even happening?
From Ebert:
River and Simon are soon enough allied with a team of free-lance smugglers on a banged-up old ship named Serenity. Malcolm (Nathan Fillion) is the captain, and his crew includes the pilot Wash (Alan Tudyk), his wife, Zoe (Gina Torres), the engineer Kaylee (Jewel Staite) and the tough guy Jayne (Adam Baldwin). On their trail is the most competent and feared of the Alliance's agents, The Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor).
If he's listing Zoe third, and calling her Wash's wife, I'm having some more questions about the film.

He makes the Josh mistake too, so I wouldn't get too hung up on his details.

Um, No. Zoe is NOT just the pilot's wife.

But that's part of what I mean. I'm wondering how Zoe comes across in the film to people who are just meeting her for the first time.
eta...

See? Perkins gets it.
