Oh, no!!! DJ, now I have to really hate you. Isn't it bad enough that you got to see the movie months before I get to, but now you got to meet Adam as well?? How is life fair? I mean, does that seem right to you? You know I love Adam . . . he's like right behind James in the men I'd most likely cheat on my husband for!

I'm sorry, BG!! (NOT!) ;D Adam is really cool. The way he gushed over sleepy-Erin just made me *melt*! He asked Ael what her name was and called her sweetheart. ;D I think she would have been more responsive if Jewel had been there as scheduled. She had to back out because of a job. Look at it this way, BG, now you have to go to Toronto so we'll be even.

Pluto, Nathan and Ron were in Austin, TX for the screening there. action between Mal and Inara?? Not so much. There's still tension. There is some action towards the end of the film, but I'm not sayin' between who. ;D Ditto, you really should go see it when you can. It's awesome!! ;D *is glad you're jealous* ;D

The trailer for "Serenity" was on the big screen before the movie this afternoon. It was nice to see Joss's name across that gigantic screen, but too bad it wasn't for a Spike movie. I recognized of course Nathan Fillion from Firefly and Angel as well as the actress who played Jasmine on Angel and was also in The Matrix Reloaded.

Yes, Cy, Joss gave Nathan, Adam, and Gina their roles on Buffy/Angel after Firefly was cancelled. *gorram FOX* Did you know there are at least 2 actors that have been in all three of the shows?

;DWhen I was watching Buffy on Sky mix the other day they showed a trailer for Serenity Premier date is Oct 6th, so I guess it will be out soon after. It looked good and I have already told Rainbow she has to come with me, though I bet Worthing won't show it, so we'll have to go to Brighton.

Opens tonight! Too bad I'm guyless. Anyway, here's Movie Mom's Review on Yahoo: Audience: 12 and up MPAA Rating: PG-13 for sequences of intense violence and action, and some sexual references. Profanity: Mild language Nudity/Sex Mild sexual references Alcohol/Drugs: Drinking Violence/Scariness: Sci-fi action violence, characters (including children) injured and killed Diversity Issues: Diverse characters, strong women and minorities Release Date: September 30th, 2005 (wide)
Movie Mom's Review
Creator of Buffy the the Vampire Slayer Joss Whedon has populated another world with tough, smart-talking characters fighting the darkest evil. And once again the heart of the force for good is a not entirely unconflicted or uncomplicated adolescent girl.
Buffy was a teenager whose high school happened to be located on the Hellmouth. Her vampire-slaying powers and inspired more academic papers than any other television program, even an entire online international journaldevoted to topics in fields from classics to cultural studies to sexuality and computer science.
The sensationally entertaining "Serenity" takes place 500 years in the future. The earth's resources have been depleted and humans have colonized another solar system. heroine is River (Summer Glau), a damaged young woman rescued from the totalitarian Alliance by her brother Simon (Sean Maher), a doctor.
River's powers include the soft (telepathy) and the hard (some mad kick-boxing skills).
They are hiding out on a beat-up rocket ship captained by Mal (Nathan Fillion), once a rebel fighter, now a guy who will take on any job that pays and does his best to stay out of the way of the Alliance. The crew includes navigator Wash (Alan Tudyk), his wife Zoe, the first mate (Gina Torres), tough guy Jayne (Adam Baldwin), and mechanic Kaylee (Jewel Staite).
The friends who help them along the way include a "companion" named Inara (Morena Baccarin) (think Miss Kitty in "Gunsmoke," a gentle, devout man named Book (Ron Glass), and a guy who seems to Tivo the galaxy named Mr. Universe (David Krumholtz).
The man they're trying to stay away from is The Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor), an understanding but terminator-like ends-justify-the-means type who wants River and will do anything or kill anyone in order to accomplish this goal.
The movie benefits tremendously from a likeable cast with enormous appeal and chemistry perfected over the 14 "Firefly" episodes, from Whedon's trademark genre mash-ups (the characters often talk like cowboys and the script tweaks classic Western tropes), from tough and genuinely clever wisecracks, and from expert seasoning of action with humor -- and humor with action. Whedon continually creates expectations and then confounds them, a po-mo twist here, some unexpected sincerity there.
And the action is terrific, without a hint of a wink or anything less than total commitment.
At one point the Operative says, not without sympathy (Ejiofor has the most expressive eyes since Al Pacino), "It's worse than you know," and Mal replies, "It usually is." Where Whedon is concerned, it's always as good as you hope.
Parents should know that this movie as a lot of sci-fi "action" violence (lots of shooting, not much blood). Characters are injured and killed, including children. There are some mild references to the "companion" and a pleasure robot. A strength of the movie is its portrayal of capable and brave women and minorities and loyal and dedicated relationships between people of different ethnic groups.
Families who see this movie should talk about the obligations and choices facing people who oppose a totalitarian state. How do you decide when to risk your life for the greater good? Why was "Firefly" so popular with some people but not successful enough to succeed on television? How (and why) does this story feel like a Western? Why is the ship called Serenity?
Families who enjoy this film should watch the television series, Firefly. Like all cult favorites, this one has inspired a lot of analysis. Some of the most provocative essays are included in Finding Serenity by Glenn Yeffeth. Families will also enjoy the very clever Futurama as well as the Star Wars series and the parodies Galaxy Quest and Space Balls. Fans of Firefly (violence and occasional sexual references) and "Serenity" will also enjoy Wedon's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Angel."

Hey! Being a good poster and coming here to finish my Firefly/Serenity gushing, lol! As I said before at the prattle....Firefly got to me hook, line, and sinker! I also finished Serenity today....was soooo good....but the character deaths made me sad....will miss them! But the action and dialogue....the intriguing story line with River....loved it! It's always such a wonderful 'happy' for me when I find something I can really get in to like FF....JW is a large part of it(Buffy/Angel)...but I think the actor choices are (as UKers would say)'spot on'!

Great that you have now seen the film M. Please gush all you want ;D I totally agree with you re the cast choices, they are 'spot on'. The deaths were I so didn't see the last one coming There has to be a second film soon, but Joss is always sooooo busy.

M, glad you saw and love it!! I didn't see the second death coming either, even after I've watched the movie 3 times, I still wince when it happens.
But we know Joss, when the second movie comes along, he will find a way to bring them all back if he can. Very few people ever die for good in the Whedon-verse.
