Serenity II: The Wrath of Tim.
I didn't think of that.
Mal: Does she understand that? River: She understands. She doesn't comprehend.

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

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

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.

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.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Suffice it to say, we could have a Wash and Book movie. It could be: Serenity: The Prequel :-)

True, true. It's not like the actors died.
