Fezmid Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 HGTTG = Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. The Serenity trailer will probably play before that movie this Friday. You can watch it now at http://www.serenitymovie.com Basically it's one of the best TV series ever, but Fox screwed it up (they aired the two hour pilot as the last episode, aired the other episodes out of order, pre-empted it multiple times for baseball, etc, etc). Universal bought the rights to make it into a movie, and it will be released in September. If it does well, they'll turn it into a trilogy. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...&s=dvd&n=507846 (note the 5 star rating at Amazon with nearly 1,300 reviews) Check it out -- the series is cheap (only $35), and it's going to be an awesome movie!

Fezmid Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 Serenity now. SERENITY NOW! 320326[/snapback] Gotta love any show that has lines like this: Zoe: "Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing?" Book: "Very specific. But it gets rather fuzzy in the area of kneecaps." or: Book: “What are we up to, sweetheart?” River: “Fixing your Bible.” Book: “I um... what?” River: “Bible's broken. Contradictions, false logistics. It doesn't make sense. River: "Noah's Ark is a problem.” Book: “Really?” River: “We'll have to call it early quantum state phenomenon. Only way to fit 5000 species of mammal on the same boat!” Book: “Give me that!” Shiny! CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonz Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Cool trailer!.... FX are getting incredible in some of these movies. Hopefully Serenity will do well. With Star Wars closing out this summer we will need another science fiction saga to latch onto... Too bad Pitch Dark/Riddick didn't do very well...That was a GREAT movie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puhonix Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 So is Serenity a completely new movie? or is it a retelling of the pilot with more fx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 So is Serenity a completely new movie? or is it a retelling of the pilot with more fx? 320839[/snapback] It's a completely new story, although they apparantly will fill in a lot of information from the original series so that you don't have to watch the show first. Rumor is that we'll learn a bit about Book's background as well. I thought about going to Chicago for the weekend to see the advanced screening, but the tickets are already sold out CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted April 27, 2005 Author Share Posted April 27, 2005 VERY cool trailer. 320962[/snapback] I'm going to have to watch it today... I held out for a whole 24 hours, can't do it until September. I thought about doing a roadtrip next week to see the advanced screening in Chicago, but it was already sold out this morning.

SF Bills Fan Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 The cities to be hit are: Seattle Austin Sacramento Boston Altanta Chicago San Francisco Las Vegas Denver The Portland of Oregon Too bad, I have a wedding in Houston next week, so I won't be in SF, otherwise I'd go. We get lucky here, you can see most movies in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Just finished watching it - WOW that looks good! Gorram Fox and their stupid executives who don't know good TV when they see it. CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 So "Serenity" is "FireFly," only different? I love Sci-Fi, but the trailer didn't do it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fezmid Posted April 28, 2005 Author Share Posted April 28, 2005 Firefly was the TV show. Serenity is the movie. Have you seen the TV show? If not, I'd recommend buying it from Amazon, or renting it from Blockbuster/Netflix. VERY good writing excellent characterization and story development.
