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.
it would be fuck Hamilton, chuck Jefferson, marry Adams.
Oh I agree. Except I'd hold out for Samuel. Q. has all the glory, but Sam = free beer.
They must have wanted the show to suffer, I can see no other reason.
When I learned Firefly was on FOX I was both hopeful and fearful. I'd been down that road once before with Space: Above and Beyond. It got a full season but ended with a cliffhanger before getting cancelled. Damn, I never got over that one.

I was a fan of that one as well. Thank goodness it's coming out on DVD.
Oh, funnily enough: Customers interested in this film were also interested in these films:
Serenity Theatrical Release ~ Nathan Fillion
I remember Space Above & Beyond being a big favorite at The 11th Hour.
See what I'm saying. In the founding father's fuck, chuck and marry, it would be fuck Hamilton, chuck Jefferson, marry Adams.
Kat, I love you.
Not in the Lori-chasing-me-with-an-axe way or anything like that, but I think that's the funniest thing I've seen all day.
I should see if our library has the Hamilton bio and/or 1912 : Wilson, Roosevelt, Taft and Debs -The Election that Changed the Country.
I am so unimpressed with Jefferson.
Yeah, he kind of sucked. What an arrogant jackass.
I mean, the Declaration of Independence was pretty and all (albeit VERY inspired by many other works, as is well-known in historical circles), but the dude was VIOLENTLY anti-Constitution. Despite the fact that the Articles were clearly not working. At all. In any sense. That's just stupid, and I have no respect for it.
Plus, he supported at least a few of the Really Stupid Phases in France.
Plus, yeah, slave-owner.
fuck Hamilton, chuck Jefferson, marry Adams.
What, no love for Ben Franklin (the only president who was never president)?
boxofficeguru.com [link] predicts Serenity could open with $16M this weekend. They also predict Corpse Bride will fall to $12M, and Flightplan will fall to $15M. Into the Blue should reach $11M, and A History of Violence should hit $7M.
I heard that the Serenity previews will be counted in its first week box office. If they get counted for the weekend then I've contributed $40 to that.
eta: dw in Bitches sez that Flightplan is estimated to have exceeded Serenity on Friday.

I think that estimate was done before the start of the weekend. Friday night's box office looks to be 3.9-4.2M, depending on what site you're using, which would put it on track for a $12-13M weekend and the #2 slot behind Flight Plan.
ETA: Or, you know, pretty much what dw said.
