My thoughts, too, Mikey

Any suggestions for a useful site to follow DVD sales? I was wondering how Serenity is doing.

I have been following www.videobusiness.com

It seems that it was 3rd the first week and then 9th the second and 14th the last two weeks in a row.

Pretty good numbers as far as I am concerned.

Yesterday, I took my first venture into RPGing with a group of people mostly unknown to me. The only reason I'd consider the exercise is that the game is based in the Serenity 'verse.

I've decided to be a Shepherd with a gambling problem. I have a feeling I'm going to be thinking way, way too much about this in the next little while.

Sounds like you will be. A Shepherd with a gambling problem sounds fun. A few years back I played a bard named Geoff, whose gambling problems ultimately led to his and half the party's demise. Have fun with your character.

Tamara, thanks for the site information. Amazon reports that as of yesterday Serenity was their #4 seller, and Firefly their #5 seller. Not too shabby.

It seems to be trucking along. Only time will tell if it matters or not.

I finally saw Serenity last night. Well, half. I fell asleep at some point after Book's meaningless death. Will be watching the rest ASAP and processing.

I thought I was ready. I thought I might appreciate it after the storm died down. I--I don't know.

Maybe I could remedy that by rewatching FF, before giving Serenity another go, but I sort of wanted to see if I could approximate the experience of someone who didn't know or care about the characters, going in. Of course I can't. Half of my reactions were along the lines of, "Mal seems different. When did Simon get competent? Jayne is still--thank Joss--Jayne."

That said, not having watched Firefly since its first run on FOX, in the US, I am pretty sure if I'd never seen the series, I'd not have had any idea that Book was even a part of the original story. I'd think he was a red-shirt cooked up for the movie, alone. Tsk.

That said, the film did not leave me cold--which is probably the biggest reason I waited so long. I'm over FF, but that doesn't change how I once felt about it--if that makes any sense. I started out taking notes, and when they first brought the ship into view, I was feeling all jaded and started to write down, "What is this--ship pron?" only to then get chills, and moist eyes, despite myself, and before I put down the question mark.

Maybe I'll have more, once I've watched the film in its entirety.

"What is this--ship pron?" only to then get chills, and moist eyes, despite myself, and before I put down the question mark.

You're not the only one who gets chills there. It's not The Ballad of Serenity, but it's a damn fine theme....

At what point can one fandom_wank this stuff?
