<a href="http://www.apple.com/trailers/universal/serenity/" target="_self">Here is the trailer folks.</a> Anyone
else excited?  The TV series was pure awesome (the dvd box set
anyway) and I am hoping this is more of the same. Can't wait for September.

The buzz and reviews on this movie is really good.  It opens today.  I haven't watched any shows, but I think I'll pick up the DVDs and then check out the movie.

Honestly, one of the best movies I have ever seen. I was blown away. I
definitly recommend watching the season and then go out and see
Serenity. Amazingly compelling story, brilliant acting, great action
and adventure. All around great movie. It will make you laugh and cry
and the story will keep you on the edge of your seat.

I saw the movie friday and thought it was fantastic.  I'd
recommend seeing the series first, but the movie was excellent with
some real holy shit moments.  Really expanded well on the series,
but no sign of the men with the blue gloves.

The thing I love about Whedon and it's seen in Buffy, Angel, even his
Astonishing X-Men series, is that all his characters are
vulnerable.  Not one is safe from something really bad happening
to them.  It's very evident in the Serenity movie.  You
actually fear for the lives of these characters.  All in all I
thought it was a great movie.  The girlfriend and I are HUGE
Whedon fans and could not wait to see this film.  I was not
dissappointed in the least, neither was she.

I haven't seen one second of the tv series - should I try and find the series and watch it all on DVD, or catch the film while I can in the theatre? The trailer looks great and want to see it - can I still dig it?

i'll see it on dvd. while it may be pretty good, see i have this thing. if a studio company puts zero advertising dollars into a movie, its worth the waiting for the dvd. much like carltios way: rise to power. that was on dvd 2 weeks after it was in theatres.

I've seen three episodes of Buffy and I'm still furious that I can't have those 3 hours back.  The movie was pretty amusing, though all of his fans seem to loathe it, so fuck them.I read the first arc of Astonishing X-Men and it was one of the most pandering, unimaginative, pedantic pieces of bullshit possible, and that's saying something for a fucking X-comic.  Thank Christ for the beautiful artwork, otherwise it'd be nothing but a murder of a bunch of trees.So, yeah, I don't "get" Whedon at all.  Pass.

 Wow I can't believe this. First of all,
this is nothing like The Fifth Element. second, You can't compare this
to his other work. Stop looking at the Artist! Try looking at the Art!
This is a great film. It's a unique vision of our future and it delves
into some serious primal emotions. It's a very deep movie and combines
that with some humor and great action. How much more can you ask for?
If you watch the trailer and plan to rip the film apart without even
viewing it then you should have no say in this. If your going to attack
it based on previous works of whedon then your not giving it a fair
chance. I want someone to name 1 movie in the past couple of
years that consists of all the elements that make up a great movie and
is better then Serenity.

I'm about to watch the first episode. If it stinks do I need to see others before it gets good? It only ran 14 episodes so it shouldn't have taken long to get good, right? I haven't seen either movie, but I'd put down some serious money that "A History of Violence" is a better film that "Serenity" (unless "all the elements that make up a great movie" somehow limits that from being compared to it)

Thanks for the answer and welcome to the board!I'm going to check out a few more episodes. so [spoilers] Do you get to actually see the "Reavers" in the series or movie? You only see their ship and hear about them raping and using people's skin for their clothes in the pilot. I wonder why they(Weedon) killed off the ship's pilot. I still don't think it's so "hardcore" that those 2 character's died. Maybe killing off the Captain, LeeLo..err, I mean River or the Cute Mechanic would have been[end spoiler]

I'm up to Trash (Episode 11) I've turned around on the show and now I like it. Out of Gas is a great Episode. I think Fox did have a point about that pilot, but showing the shows out of order wasn't a good answer.I wonder if Serenity will still be in theaters when I'm gone with the series (I have 4 more episodes to watch)

I watched them all. I like the show now.The plot of the final episode "Objects in Space" seemed to look a little bit like the plot of the movie (An assassin-type black guy is going after River Tam) at least what the trailers made "Serenity" look like.

Yes, the black guy from the movie is obviously based on the black guy
from teh last ep.  Basically, instead of drawing the plot out for
several seasons, they shotgunned alot of it into the movie, and are
hoping to have a trilogy.

Mo, I am surprised that you didn't dig on how lived-in their universe was.  I thought you would hate it if everything was all glossy, symetrical, and futuristic. But...I do know what you mean about there being few concepts that we've all seen before.  Then again, there was also stuff that was unique to this film.It's reeeeally hard for a movie to be original nowadays. It's all been done.  Every sports movie is EXACTLY the same.  Every one of them.  Every romantic comedy is identical.  Every gangster mob movie is the same.  Hell, they're STILL making those f'cking horrible buddy cop movies! It's alllll been done. There are very few exceptions.  All you can hope for is that the film makers present it in an interesting way.  Serenity achieved that.

The whole thing felt like a bigger budget episode of something like Star Trek: The Next Generation or Babylon 5, with some forced "ironic" banter/comedy, so that killed it for me right there.  Now I will admit I pretty much hate most "sci-fi" films of the bat...they basically live and die with stuff like Blade Runner for me...but everything I watched in the 45 minutes of this flick felt like something I had seen somewhere else before.  Yeah, I know truly original ideas are few and far between, but this smacked of hardcore deja vu in regards to a bunch of crappy syndicated sci-fi shows I had the misfortune of seeing some Saturday afternoon as a kid.  And Whedon REALLY bugs me.  Like Kevin Smith, he's a writer that I enjoyed very much when they started out, but as time went on they write EVERYTHING and EVERYONE in the same "voice"...nothing ever feels new or interesting for me with writers like that.

quote: And Whedon REALLY bugs me. I rented the movie and agree with this. I watched the "Introduction" and his "In my universe they're called 'Browncoats' " when talking about the Firefly Fans in an intro to a screening of the film. I would have walked out. I did enjoy the movie but I love Sci-Fi, sometimes even when it's cheesy (I'm really into the New Battlestar Galactica) I could not get into any of the Star Trek's past TNG, I can't stand any Star Gate series (I did like the movie, but the shows I can't stand) I didn't like B5. I like the universe and characters he created but I can't stand the dialogue and the forced "bad English/throw in some Chinese phrases here and there" way that he has people talking.Whedon is REALLY polarizing. People either LOVE him or HATE him.<a href="http://www.xmradio.com/programming/channel_page.jsp?ch=202" target="_blank"><img src="http://scripts.cgispy.com/image.cgi?u=skw" border="0" /></a>

 no. it's blu-ray. The short version of the diff between dvd and hd-dvd. hd-dvd is bigger and can contain more info on the disc allowing for better picture and sound quality.   Actually, Blu-Ray is the bigger one, almost twice as big as HD-DVD. The advantage of HD-DVD is that it is cheaper to produce in the short term because equipment producing DVD can be upgraded to produce HD-DVDs while Blu-Ray discs require all-new equipment. This applies to players too, as HD-DVDs are read by the same laser as DVDs, while Blu-Ray uses a blue laser, which would tehn require two different lasers to be backward compatible with DVDs. So initially Blu-Ray players and discs will be more expensive.Blu-Ray is clearly the more advanced technology, but so was Betamax. It's also important to note that as of now Blu-Ray has more support. Every studio will release on Blu-Ray, while Sony films and MGM films will never be on HD-DVD until Blu-ray is clearly dead. As well, Dell and Apple will exclusively offer Blu-Ray in computers, for now at least, while HP will offer both.Sony is really banking on PS3 to get this tech inside homes.

This message was edited by fezident on 4-19-06 @ 10:42 PM  A regular DVD upconverted to 1080i is just an image with a 480p resolution being sent to the TV at a 1080i signal. No extra resolution is gained by this. It may look sharper, but it's really just the same image you were looking at on a 480p resolution. A movie on HD-DVD or Blu-Ray will be on the disc at 1080p (not i, p, p is better) and then converted to whatever your TV will support. HOWEVER, to avoid piracy, you will only be able to wtach HD-DVD movies and Blu-Ray movies through a HDMI connection. Any other connection will be limited to a 480p resolution, negating any point in having these new players. So if you are going to buy one, MAKE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU HAVE AN HDMI CONNECTION ON YOUR TV OR YOU ARE WASTING YOUR MONEY.However, another benefit to HD-DVD and Blu-Ray will be that for shows that are only available at standard 480p resolution, you will be able to hold a shit load more content on a single disc. Blu-Ray might even be able to handle a single season of a TV show on a single disc. HD-DVD won't be able to do that with its smaller capacity.

Serenity named top sci-fi movie

Space thriller Serenity has beaten Star Wars to the title of best sci-fi movie in an SFX magazine poll of 3,000 fans. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6517155.stm)

Ok, it's a small sample poll but I find myself watching both since they've been on cable a lot recently. And I always finish watching Serenity.

So as of now, I'll give it to Serenity over Star Wars - A New Hope, but never over Empire.

It's better than the ewok infested Return of the Jedi as well.

It's probably a combination of the prequels taking away from the enthusiasm people used to have for the originals and the fact everyone has seen Star Wars two thousand times since childhood. Firefly is the new kid in town.

That is a good point. Empire should be in any top ten. I guess it depends on who is voting. Those of us who are old enough to remember when it came out would probably be more likely to vote "Star Wars" and mean, the first "Star Wars (Or Empire, or Jedi) whereas younger folks might say Star Wars and clump the whole series in their mind.

Moviehole recently chatted with Alan Tudyk (Wash), and he said: "They had to put [the new DVD] out because they've been selling out of the other one, and so Universal's like 'So, let's do another one.' And now... there's now a chance there's going to be another movie." Well, this is just about the most solid Whedon rumor you can get. (http://www.cinematical.com/2007/10/04/are-plans-for-serenity-2-in-the-works/)

Granted it's just a rumor. Although Tudyk does seem like the kind of guy who would say such a thing to stir the coals and get a kick out it.

Unless the movie is some sort of flashback/prequel or Wash is cloned or something.

Of course maybe just part of the movie will have flashbacks that would bring Tudyk back for a few scenes - that would be legit.

I'm now onboard the whole Firefly/Serenity bandwagon, thanks to my chick, we've been watching it the last few days, and it's really good.

I got into the whole Firefly thing very late in the game.

AFTER the movie was released on DVD, I eventually watched the series and the movie. I love that universe. I love the characters.

I can kinda understand why serious scifi fans never embraced it. The whole horse/leather/bullets/dirt thing can be a bit too "down home" for fans of lightsabers & laserbeams.
And... it definitely felt like it was done on-the-cheap.

Very well written though. I'd watch another movie if they made one.

NASA wants your opinion in naming the International Space Station’s Node 3 – a connecting module and its cupola – before the two segments travel to space and are installed on the orbiting laboratory. The name should reflect the spirit of exploration and cooperation embodied by the space station, and follow in the tradition set by Node 1- Unity- and Node 2- Harmony. (http://www.nasa.gov/externalflash/name_ISS/index.html)

The choices:

Pick a Name for Node 3:
Earthrise
Legacy
Serenity
Venture

Or, name it yourself. Perhaps the RonFez.node? Anyway, Serenity is leading by 86%.

Voting will be open until March 20th, 2009. NASA will announce the winning name in April 2009.

I got the pricing on this way cool model... it really is unbelievable all the things and effects it has... but it's over 2 grand to have one! Can't do that.

But onto other matters...

Has anyone been watching Nathan Fillion's show Castle on ABC?

It's a terrible show, as far as cop shows go... totally unrealistic and full of cops who wear way too nice clothes. But Nathan Fillion as Rick Castle is so f'n funny in it, he makes the show enjoyable for what it is.

In the upcoming Halloween episode, Castle dresses up... and a pic has leaked:

Firefly to live on in new book of short stories

Joss Whedon's beloved Firefly/Serenity is long gone, but you can't stop the signal: Fans can look for more adventures of Capt. Mal Reynolds and the crew of the doughty ship in a series of short stories coming soon from Titan Books.

Writer/producer Jane Espenson—who wrote one episode of the Fox sci-fi series but is a longtime friend and colleague of Whedon's going back to her days on Buffy the Vampire Slayer—told us that she will be writing one of the stories, centering on the characters of Kaylee and Wash (obviously set in a time period before the events of the movie Serenity).

"I'm writing a short story set in the Firefly universe that someone's putting together," Espenson said in an interview on Sunday in Pasadena, Calif., where she was promoting her upcoming Syfy series Caprica. "Titan Books is putting together a collection written by various of the Firefly writers. But [it's a] very short story, ... 2,000 words."

She added: "Oh, I just came up with a very clever little short story that involves Kaylee and Wash, two characters that we haven't seen together that much."

Espenson's Firefly episode was "Shindig," the fourth episode in the series, which deals with a society dance and a duel. It's best loved by fans for Kaylee's appearance in an over-the-top flouncy ruffled dress.

What the hell?

This is a blatant Calvin & Hobbes ripoff!!

I thought the same thing, but he seems to be calling it an homage, from the post I found linked to the comic.

I don’t know of a cartoonist that doesn’t list Watterson in his top three influences, so I won’t bore you with my treatise on how his work sparked my young imagination and ignited a lifelong love of comic strips and cartooning. I bet he wouldn’t be too thrilled with me aping his style to make a Joss Whedon/Serenity reference, nor would I be shocked if he didn’t get said reference.

Have you always wondered what Shepard Book's backstory was? Wonder no more, it's coming to a graphic novel soon.

That was great... and why wasn't Simon in the credits? Because he got his own spin-off:

I got the pricing on this way cool model... it really is unbelievable all the things and effects it has... but it's over 2 grand to have one! Can't do that.

But onto other matters...

Has anyone been watching Nathan Fillion's show Castle on ABC?

It's a terrible show, as far as cop shows go... totally unrealistic and full of cops who wear way too nice clothes. But Nathan Fillion as Rick Castle is so f'n funny in it, he makes the show enjoyable for what it is.

In the upcoming Halloween episode, Castle dresses up... and a pic has leaked:

Unless he's messin' with us, which I wouldn't put past him.

I am in a hotel in Connecticut with only shitty TV. The sound is off, but Castle is on. Have no idea if the show is any good or not. Though I do have two observations. Nathan looks a little bloated and Dana Delaney really really had too much plastic surgery, her lips move, but the cheeks and chin don't.

Look who's out! I actually would have never guessed. Good for him.

Strange. It actually never occurred to me that he was even remotely straight. And I don't mean that to be dickish.
I remember when Clay Aiken "came out", I was stunned that he thought there was any doubt.
Same goes for Sean Maher.

Never been to Comic Con but if I knew this was happening months ago I might have made the trek. Can't wait to see the special. It will be hilarious. That cast never disappoints when they get together. Good to see they're still close friends.
