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.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I hope it's Tremors funny. I like Tremors.

The most frequent comparisons I keep hearing is Tremors and Shaun of the Dead.

Hey. New board.

Critics seem to be enjoying Slither

I want it bad. I need somebody in this place who likes horror/comedy...

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Really? I think it's right up my alley then. I love both those movies. And I've been loving the marketing for Slither.

I've never seen Tremors, but I loved Shaun of the Dead. I think I'm more than ready for Slither. Plus, the chance to see NF, again, on the big screen.

You must see Tremors, SailAweigh! A really fun old fashioned monster flick, with some great one-liners by Kevin Bacon, Fred Ward, and Michael Gross. Pop a cold brewski and have some friends over for some cheesetastic flicks, starting with that one.

Not to mention Reba McEntire with a roomful of shotguns for, like, half the movie.

x-posted from Movies:

Wow. SLITHER's got 91% @ Rotten Tomatoes, with a decent volume of reviews. Even some of the supposed negative reviews (Ebert's is a good example) are on the positive side when you read them in full.

SLUGS IN YOUR FACE may trump SNAKES ON A PLANE if the audience responds likewise.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Has this project ever been mentioned? Done The Impossible

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but my recollection is of a documentary that explained the Firefly/Serenity phenonemon well, but at a little too much length. Kill a few darlings (especially of the self congratulatory kind) and the whole thing would've been more accessible to non-fans. Not to mention easier to sit through. That's what I recall anyway.
