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.
I've seen it four times. I hope to go one or two more times with friends who haven't seen it yet, but I'm not sure if it will work out. If not, I'm happy with four. I don't go to movies in the theater very often. When I do, they're usually especially good, so I often go more than once. I don't know that I've hit four before, though. I think I saw Batman Begins two or three times.
The spoof was hi-larious, tianxiaode!
I liked this part:
EOWYN [at the entrance to the Paths of the Dead]: You’ll never come out alive!
ARAGORN: Nonsense! You’re only saying that because no one ever has!
[...]
EOWYN: Bye bye, boys!
MERRY: Have fun storming Minas Tirith!
EOWYN [to MERRY]: Think it will work?
MERRY [to EOWYN]: It would take a miracle!
Pssst! Theo! Wrong thread!
Of course, even if folks are going to see another movie at a multiplex theater, they could still buy tickets to "Serenity" and then just go into the particular theater that is showing the other film. This would boost the Serenity box office.

True, but if I want to see a movie badly enough to pay first run theater prices, I probably want that movie's creators to get the attendence credit. Just because I adore Joss and Serenity doesn't mean I want to do down Tim Burton or the guy behind Wallace and Gromit.
I saw Fantastic Four on a Batman Begins ticket. And I saw Spiceworld on an Amistad ticket. Nothing out there right now teases me that way.

Isn't that kind of...cheating?
That LotR bit would have fit right in with the Serenity spoof, though. I was trying to remember it, for a minute. If you're still around, Theo, have you a link? Or, I suppose I could go threadsuck for it in LotR. That sounds suspiciously like work, though.
Thanks, ita.
