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.
Well, quite a lot of fuss. If I didn't know better, I'd think we were dangerous.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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.
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.

The evil is this way?
Isn't that kind of...cheating?

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.

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...

Total domestic + foreign gross is just over half the production budget after 11 days. It's not setting any records, but it does appear that it's going to break even in a reasonable amount of time if fan interest is sustained.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'll be seeing it again on Thursday with a friend. I've seen it twice now (including the preview), and I'm psyched to see it again, but that may be it for me for a while--I have neither the time nor the money to see it again and again right now. Although, if it's still in theatres in a month, I'll do my best to catch it again.
ita, did you watch the video at that site? I don't really feel like watching a half-hour of tiny bits of footage from episodes I have in all their glory on DVD, but I'm curious to know what scenes were chosen.
