TCM’s Space Bazaar : Kick Ass Firefly Stuff
(via Seki)

Blue Sun’s domination of the ‘verse has begun …and it all starts with biodiesel fuel.
To quote Mr. Universe, “how weird is that?”

Doyce,
We publish the official Serenity weblog in Spanish (http://serenity.weblogs.es) commissioned by Universal International Pictures. On the run up to the opening on cinemas in Spain (tomorrow actually), we would like to run a series of profiles of the characters translated from the material you have on the wiki.
We had started to run it, linking back to the original pages on the wiki, when we realized that your license is by-nc-sa and since our blog is made for a company and has its contents under copyright, we believe we need to get your explicit permission before publishing it.
Would that be ok with you?

*beams.
Would that be okay with me?
*grinning.

The thing that will really determine the ‘success’ or ‘not-entirely success’ of Serenity is in the second week turnout for the movie — first week estimates were dead-on-the-money for what Universal had estimated, almost exactly, but their projections for the second week are a lot fuzzier, and a good turnout means a great deal to the suits, when folks start talking about sequels.
Maybe you’ve gone already. It’s a good movie. Go again. You know Corpse Bride’s going to be running in 10 theatres an hour until Halloween — you can skip it another week.
Maybe you haven’t gone yet. Don’t wait. It really is that good, it really is funny, it really does have great dialogue and great actors and scary bad guys.
Go. See the show. It deserves it, and so do you.

Ebert Reviews Serenity

It has the rough edges and brawny energy of a good yarn, and it was made by and for people who can’t get enough of this stuff. You know who you are.

Great article/interview with Joss on Reuters.com about the trip from Firefly to Serenity:

“We have a much broader base than just sci-fi people,” he says. “That’s what I found in our screenings so far. They’re a diverse group, fairly well-adjusted socially, and I expect that a lot of them are even having sex. I really think the line between geeks and the rest of the world is blurring.”

For those of you who aren’t slavering mad crazy for the release date keeping track, Serenity, one of the best movies I’ve seen in a really,
really,
long time…
Is in theatres this Friday. Go twice. I dare yah.

Good, Geeky Fun that makes your Brain Hurt.

As the normally self-serving crew find themselves caught in a fight with a higher purpose to it, Serenity becomes that great thing: a blockbuster with a heart and soul.
