    Can't wait for this film.

    I still put a weekly curse on the executives who cancelled the TV series before it could find it's feet.

    Serenity NOW!

      I was in some stupid 'team building' meeting at work the other day. It was one of those things where they hired a motivational speaker to come in and tell us all how to be good people.

      At one point, the speaker was talking about the 'Serenity Poem' and asked if anyone knew it.

      So, I raised my hand, and I was sitting there thinking, "Oh yeah, I know that one!"

      The instructor called on someone else, and she recited the "God give me the serenity to accept things I cannot change...blah blah blah..."

      Whoops, I'm glad she didn't call on me...because I really thought she was looking for the, "Serenity Now, Serenity Now, Serenity Now" mantra from George's dad on Seinfeld.

      That probably would have looked stupid...

      You were in a rah-rah meeting, and worrying about looking stupid? Words escape me, I can't even think of a bod metaphore....

      That's the Serenity "Prayer", not "Poem." The Serenity Prayer originated in an obituary in 1942 and was later adopted by Alcoholics Anonymous (and later, other twelve-step programs) as a part of the program.

    Not downloadable, but it actually works, unlike the one on the site. At least for me.

    How much money does the film have to make before they bring back the series?

      From what I remember from previous stories, there's contracts with the tv show producers that wont let it comeback on tv for something like 10 years. But there is a 3 picture deal, so the question is "How much money does it have to make to get a sequel?"

  7. Cool Sci Fi shows and cancellations by Ohmster · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Serenity definitely looks cool. With a broadband internet, we may be entering a time when cool, emerging shows dont get cancelled because they cannot find a big enough audience on TV or cable. Remember Star Trek was cancelled in the sixties for that reason and brought back via movies because of a core, but economically small audience. With the internet, audiences can be smaller and still allow the producers and distributors to make a profit. The day of broadband doing an end run around cable and TV are near.

    Also, if you would like the play the trailer outside of the webpage and fullscreen use this Firefox extension. http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/mediapla yerconnectivity Although VLC will play it outside I suggest Quicktime because it looks like it is the only player that buffers the stream. You can stretch the video to as big as your screen, which is really cool.

  9. Huh? by healy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Maybe it's time to turn in my Geek card, but I fail to see the appeal of this. I'm a sci-fi nut & tried to watch the show when it was on but I thought it was some of the lamest acting and plot I'd ever seen. It was like a really bad western in space. I can't see why people are drooling over this movie coming out. I liked Buffy as much as the next person, but this seemed really weak to me.

    People on slashdot have an orgasm every time this movie is mentioned...I just don't get it.

      Watch the DVD set in its intended order and the show is much easier to appreciate. The apparently really botched it when they aired it originally. Another reason to pray for the (corporate) deaths of the executives at Fox who managed this.

      (I watched 7 seasons of Buffy on DVD and the found Firefly on DVD and really enjoyed it)

      I have learned to just agree to disagree with opinions like this. You think the first 3 seasons of buffy were the best? I liked them the least. I thought the plot really got good and interesting after that, I think fireflys plot was the absoloute best series joss ever did, and possibly the best series on TV.

      Neither of us are "wrong". Its just a difference in taste, I like the exact kinds of plots that you apparently dislike.

      Ever heard of the Series "A song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R Martin? Its a plot intrigue fantasy book. I LOVE this series. I recommended it to a friend, not really thinking about his normal taste in books. He hated all the plot intrigue and deception stuff, I couldnt relate, the whole reason I liked the books in the first place was the intrigue and deception angle, which is exactly what he hated about it.

      Difference of opinion, I think stuff like that is good, he didnt.

      You think the "monster of the week" and dramatic love story of angel buffy that were the focus in seasons 1-3 were good. I think they were overdone and some of joss's most "just okay" work.

      I like the plots and characters presented after season 3 for various reasons, you apparently think they were weak.

      Thats ok.

      we simply dont like the same things.

      I hate when the "geek" community gets in a silly argument about which scifi show is better, sometimes theres truly atrocious shows that noone with any taste should consider, but far more often theres just different scifi for different people. Me? Ill take my western in space and have fun thank you very much.

      Thanx
