Well, a lot of the humor is in the descriptions and digressions, which film isn't so great at conveying, at least not in a humorous way.
Inara: I think she looks adorable. Mal: Yeah, but I never said it.

Buffista Movies 5: Development Hell
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I'm not a Keillor fan, but I'm Altman fan enough to give the movie a whirl.

I saw the Prairie Home Companion on stage in San Diego many, many moons ago. It was a lot of fun. I hope they managed to translate that over to the film, there's such a difference between the feel of a stage performance and a film performance I'm afraid I'd find the film lacking.

There was a part on The Wire last season where a young cornerboy freaked when he couldn't find his radio station and got PHC about tomatoes. Cause he didn't know when you leave town the stations change. I don't think he'd been anywhere.

Don't give away the best joke ever made about Garrison Keillor!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Now I want to hear the joke.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Keillor? I hardly know 'er!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Is the punchline "The Aristocrats!"?
