I bet River knows Book's secret. Whether she knows she knows it is another matter.
Serenity III: The Search for Book, anyone?
You have the emotional maturity of a blueberry scone.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I'm afraid I don't understand why people are announcing that they'll never watch the sequel, will "never trust Joss again", and that sort of thing.
I can't believe they trusted him in the first place.
The box office looks miserable to me, overall, for everything. I've heard box office receipts have been in decline, but is this a miserable time of year on top of it?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I KNOW, Allyson. The Cronenberg film got rave reviews, has lots of stars in it and was made by an established director with a devoted following and barely did any business.

Serenity II: The Wrath of Tim.
I didn't think of that.

Tim would make a great criminal mastermind -- only with a beagle instead of a fluffy white cat.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It'll be interesting to see if Serenity builds its audience (they are platforming it on release, no?) or if it just has an early burst and tails off.
Robin, I was very curious to see your response to the movie. Because for all the gripes I've heard about the plot or character changes - I was just very conscious about how incredibly difficult this movie was as a screenwriting exercise.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I thought it was very well plotted, with a lot of things in the first half serving double duty as setups for payoffs in the second half.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm hoping Serenity will do well in foreign markets, DVD sales and merchandising of cunning hats.

Allyson,
the Fall is one of the worst times of the year for box office. September and October are slim months.
Cronenberg's movie did really well according to per screen average - which is what most movie studios look at (as I understand it).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I think I'm mostly bummed out because throughout the movie, I was thinking, "OK, this is River's movie, but maybe the next one can be Zoe and Wash's." And one of the people I was with was thinking the same thing about Book. Bah.
