In comparison with the USian poster, the International poster practically screams, "Watch me!" Just in comparison, but it begins to make more sense that Serenity did so much better, relatively, overseas.
That said, I don't really like either poster all that much. I like the Serenity logo much better.
Wait, wrong show....
Not necessarily. I say the cast should take a page from Farscape's book and audition for roles on BSG... renewal by infiltration.
Sure, or like
Buffy
alum Eric Balfour and
Angel alum JAR -- they could be on
Conviction.
Why isn't there a
Firefly
alum on there already?
TWoP has done a recap of Serenity! I just started reading it, but I'm already in love with this nailing of Mal:
He loves his ship more than anything, but like with anything else he loves, he has no idea what's going on inside her.
Ah, I was just coming here to pimp for Jacob. He's the Nice One. Also, the Verbose One.
I say the cast should take a page from Farscape's book and audition for roles on BSG... renewal by infiltration.
I would be very entertained to see Adam Baldwin standing next to Jamie Bamber. And by "standing next to" I mean "looming over."
Oooh, looking forward to that recap. I haven't read Firefly recaps, but Jacob's recaps of the Apprentice, especially the late season episodes and
especially
the last five minutes of the last episode, were masterpieces.
There's another crash and shake, and Simon looks nervous. "Fear is nothing to be ashamed of, Doctor." Simon explains that it is not fear, but anger that he is feeling. Mal says it's hard to tell, and Simon gives him a snippy over-explanation in reply: "Well, I imagine if it were fear, my eyes would be wider." Mal says he'll look out for that next time, knowing full well that Simon's wrong: it's fear.
This feels very incorrect to me. He seemed neither nervous nor afraid to me for the majority of the film, this scene in particular.
I don't think Simon is afraid for himself, but he is afraid of what might happen to River. The only real disagreement I have with this beautiful recap is that I feel we do see multiple aspects to Jayne. Namely, when he agrees with Mal (quoting Book) after Mal's St. Crispin, and more subtly during the EMP when he makes sure to strap down everybody else before securing himself.
There were also a couple of minor errors, such as the two guys monitoring River and Simon's escape in the beginning are not blue hands. They might be meant to evoke them though as a sort of injoke for fans of the show. There's also a few misquotes probably because of the subtitles.
But overall, a great recap.
Jacob finds the deeper meaning in EVERYTHING. It's amazing.
Oh, random: every time now that I see a Universal movie, when the Universal logo sequence appears, I keep expecting to start zooming in and hear "Earth-That-Was could no longer sustain..." Anybody else?
