Serenity

space_monkey · Sep 28th, 2005, 10:20 PM

Anybody else excited about the new movie? I had to see what all the fuss was about so i went out and bought the series (Firefly BTW) on dvd, and i have to say the show is really good. Now i can't wait till friday.

w00t

oceanebelle · Sep 29th, 2005, 01:48 AM

EVERYBODY?!!! Even I havn't heard of it.

Valleysboy1978 · Sep 29th, 2005, 04:15 AM

Heard of it but Firefly doesn't show in the UK so I doubt it will do that well

Cander · Sep 29th, 2005, 10:16 AM

Go see this movie!!!!!!!! It is awesome!!!!

Unless you are a Star Trek uber fanboy who is pissed off that Joss Whedon puts STORY before ships battles and aliens , you will love it.

space_monkey · Sep 29th, 2005, 10:22 AM

Glad to know i'm not the only one who is excited about the movie.

Don't worry, you are not.

I have gone to bed watching an episode of Firefly every day this week.

grilkip · Sep 29th, 2005, 10:41 AM

OK, if I hate Star Wars but like Star Trek, will I like this?

Cander · Sep 29th, 2005, 11:13 AM

Maybe. Can you accept no aliens and actual character development and story development?

Can you accept the future isnt necessarily lasers and peaceful exploration? lol

space_monkey · Sep 29th, 2005, 11:36 AM

I would say as long as you go in expecting some original sci-fi and not a star trek copy. you will enjoy it.

Valleysboy1978 · Sep 29th, 2005, 12:05 PM

The question is will someone who has never seen Firefly know what is going on?

space_monkey · Sep 29th, 2005, 12:13 PM

from some of the early reviews that i've read the first few mins of the movie should get you all caught up.

DKenny · Sep 29th, 2005, 12:25 PM

I just can't wait for all the comment after the movie is released.....
"Ya know, they should make a TV series out of that...." ;-)

Valley - the DVD set with all the episodes is available in the UK - I kow cause I just bought it for my brother in Ireland. Go check it out but be prepared to lose a weekend as you're goign to want to watch every episode back to back. Yes - its that good.

Cander · Sep 29th, 2005, 01:19 PM

I want this movie to kick ass in the box office then see Fox Executives cry how they screwed up big time....

space_monkey · Sep 29th, 2005, 01:38 PM

I'm really hoping that the Sci-fi Channel will pick it up and replace SG-1 with it. although i hate to see SG-1 go at least it would get replace by something good.

grilkip · Sep 29th, 2005, 01:53 PM

SG1 is about the crappiest series I've seen, I'd rather just watch McGyver, I might learn something (

)

Don't want to spend that kind of money on a DVD boxset (around £35 which works out at about $60). Bit too expensive

chemicalNova · Sep 30th, 2005, 04:27 AM

Theres nothing wrong with SG-1. Its got a nice mix of Action, Humour, and Sci-fi.

Jayne's World = One of my favourite Firefly episodes. So funny.

chem

Valleysboy1978 · Sep 30th, 2005, 04:53 AM

SG-1 is cool although I'm not sure it will work without Jack.

space_monkey · Sep 30th, 2005, 09:08 AM

SG-1 is my favorite show, but nothing can last forever. Eventually it will get replaced. I'm hoping by something good like Firefly. Instead of [junk]

programmer_boy · Sep 30th, 2005, 09:22 AM

I don't think Star Trek is only about explosions and aliens.

And I'm looking forward to seeing Serenity..

grilkip · Feb 22nd, 2006, 08:22 PM

I watched the whole series, which was awesome.

Just finished watching the movie.

IT WAS UBER-AWESOME!

space_monkey · Feb 23rd, 2006, 08:56 AM

I aim to misbehave.

I'm a leaf on the wind. Watch me soar...

DKenny · Feb 23rd, 2006, 09:28 AM

You are messing with my calm...

Cander · Feb 23rd, 2006, 09:42 AM

Movie was good. But I found it a bit disappointing. The main problem came down to too many characters for a movie. You can't dedicate any time to each character. So Wash, Zoe, Kaylee, and Jayne got a little ignored.

space_monkey · Feb 23rd, 2006, 09:59 AM

That's why we need a season 2

Cander · Feb 23rd, 2006, 10:03 AM

Aye. I so doubt it will ever happen though.

damasterjo · Feb 23rd, 2006, 10:55 AM

I liked the movie too, that girl was CRAZY~

Cander · Feb 23rd, 2006, 11:00 AM

I wonder if there was a new series if Whedon would bring back Wash in Whedonesque fashion. People just dont stay dead in Whedons shows.

space_monkey · Feb 23rd, 2006, 11:27 AM

No they don't, i hope he would though, cause the sheppard and wash were really good characters. I can't say favorite cause that's reserved for kaylee

space_monkey · Feb 23rd, 2006, 05:15 PM

Maybe wash and sheppard are really cylons and their consciousness (sp?) got transferred to another body. Or am i getting my shows confused

Oh wait i forgot that they destroyed the resurrection ship. Dang it!

Shaggy Hiker · Feb 23rd, 2006, 06:27 PM

I thought the movie was pretty cool, but I don't remember who played who. Which women are you folks drooling over?

Valleysboy1978 · Feb 24th, 2006, 10:29 AM

I'd have to agree with Cander on this one

space_monkey · Feb 24th, 2006, 10:46 AM

If you haven't seen the show, she was the ships mechanic, and was quite cute even with engine grease all over her face. (maybe even more so)

Jewel is cute no matter what.

Morena (Inara) on the show has that hotness, but I have seen her not hotted up for the show and she is just very plain.

And Gina Torres(Zoe), well, looks like she is animal in bed.

space_monkey · Feb 24th, 2006, 11:33 AM

There weren't too many women on that ship that were not dream women (or women i don't mind dreaming about). I think river would be the only exception and that's only cause she was a little phsychotic. lol
