Mal ,'Serenity'
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.
they could still buy tickets to "Serenity" and then just go into the particular theater that is showing the other film.
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.
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.
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.

I did that to send my dollars Christian Bale's way rather than Tom Cruise's this summer, but anything currently out that I want to see in lieu of Serenity should actually get my money for the ticket.

::innocent blink:: Which is why I would NEVER suggest that. ::innocent blink::
I know I saw discussion of putting the first nine minutes of Serenity on the web (although I petered out before a successful Nilly) but have you guys seen this?
I saw Serenity and then immediately fell ill with the flu. I blame Joss. Another viewing will come later in the week.
My all-time record was seeing a film 6 times, in the theatre, in one week. Please don't jeer...it was Untamed Heart. Okay. I was getting a divorce and was wicked, wicked depressed. Hearing Marissa Tomei say "Broken records and a baboon heart...pretty soon your gonna make me believe it," just killed me. And made me feel better at the same time.
