Serenity
Holy Ever-Loving Mother Of Crap.
Joss Whedon needs to get a sex change. Then he needs to have a baby with Robert Rodriquez.
The product of this union must then be promised to my daughter in holy matrimony.
I have yet to talk this over with Heidi but I’ve never heard her actually express any problem with arranged marriages. Several of her family members believe she was forced into marrying me, so there shouldn’t be much of a ruckus over it.
I can’t speak for people with, say, friends, or you know, any semblance of social skills- but fans of Whedon are guaranteed multiple orgasms watching this movie. (Think carefully before using this as a first date- it could go either way.)
People who didn’t watch Buffy, Angel and Firefly with near-religious fervor- I think you’ll love the movie was well, but honestly I couldn’t care less- to me you are something less than human.
BTW, someone at Fox has got to be swinging from a rope above their desk right now for totally butt-raping Firefly when it originally aired. They showed it out of sequence, pre-empted most of the episodes with sports and didn’t even show the pilot until the end. And now look at it.
The movie is getting has earned rave reviews.
They were so friggin positive it would rock they invited bloggers to the press screenings. That’s balls.
It has everything- intense action, great effects, tons of humor, and yes- no character is safe. A few of the usual formulaic Hollywood rules were broken.
I think one person who has to be disappointed though is George Lucas. Serenity/Firefly has now almost single-handedly revived the Sci-Fi genre after George had worked to hard to kill it with the last 3 Star Wars.

Wow. I never did watch Buffy/Angel/Firefly but all of my scifi nerdy friends have been praising this film so highly I may just watch it.
Their praise is almost always followed by the “suck it George Lucas” remark. Do all of you sci fi fans share some kind of brain pod?

I saw it over the weekend and thought it was quite good and will be doing my review of it shortly. I’m not a Whedon fan nor a sci-fi fanatic, so I started from ground zero and still enjoyed it.
