So as I see more and more trailers for Serenity, it's looking more and more like it's being shot as a "new" movie (i.e., with no Firefly history). I saw a couple of trailers where it appears Serenity is the first time they actually meet River. Anyone know if that's how it's going down?
Firefly?

I doubt it. The movie is set after the tv show. In fact they are putting out a comic book set to fill in the gap from the last episode to the begining of the movie. They will probably have some flashback type stuff to fill people in who never saw the show though.

BreakerDave, at first I thought you meant the 1996 movie Crash, by David Cronenberg, and I went on my lunch break puzzling over your comments. I didn't realize there was any dialogue in that "movie".
I'm so glad to know that you were instead referring to what sounds like a perfectly normal movie...

The Hero of Canton
Hey...wait a minute. Did I hear some Purple Belly talkin' smack about JAYNE?!
I don't think you quite understand the fellow yer talkin' 'bout.
Here's a little song about the man that all right thinkin' folks learn when they're young.
"The Man They Call Jayne"
Jayne. The man they call Jayne...
He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.
Our Jayne saw the mudders' backs breakin'.
He saw the mudders'lament.
And he saw the Magistrate takin'
every dollar and leavin' five cents.
So he said "You can't do that to my people."
He said "You can't crush them under your heel."
So Jayne strapped on his hat
and in 5 seconds flat
stole everythin' Boss Higgins had to steal.
He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.
Stood up to the man
and gave him what for.
Our love for him now
ain't hard to explain.
The hero of Canton
the man they call Jayne.
Now here is what separates heroes
from common folk like you and I.
The man they call Jayne
he turned 'round his plane
and let that money hit sky.
He dropped it onto our houses
he dropped it into our yards.
The man they called Jayne
he stole away our pain
and headed out for the stars!
Here we go!
He robbed from the rich
and he gave to the poor.

and gave him what for.

Original question:
Back to the original that started this thread:
"Why is the show Firefly popular on firearms boards?"
On the old firefly thread, gobabygo posted a picture
that I've tweaked to bring out the detail: see
the thread "Guns of Firefly" for a bunch of, well,
guns of firefly.

I am also hooked on Firefly, and definitely going to see Serenity this Friday. I also found out about all sorts of activities that an organized group of Firefly fans in this area are putting on. I might chech some of it out, looks uber-geeky, but I can handle a bit of that. http://www.ncfirefly.com
One thing I noticed in this thread and the other one is that everybody is annoyed with the sounds that the guns make. When I first saw the show, I of course was at first puzzled as to why they were using apparent powder-based weapons. Then I got to thinking, we don't really know that, do we? We know they're using cartridge-based weapons that work the same way ours do now. The thought occurred to me that, although they might not have made such radical advances in gun technology as in other shows, perhaps some advances were made in ammunition.
The odd sounds produced could mean that it is not gunpowder as we know it that propels the projectiles. Only rarely do we get a glimpse of any ammo, and we never really hear anything to make us assume that their bullets are the same as ours. The propellant or the projectile may have more advanced characteristics that result in that sound.
Just a thought.

The Sci Fi channel is running a Firefly marathon for the next couple of days. I'm taking a look. So far, it isn't too shabby. A bit 'western-y', but not bad.

Why, yes it is. One of my favorite books. Whenever I start to feel like I'm stagnating, maybe getting lazy and not improving myself in some way, I read that book and take some inspiration from ol' Mathurin Kerbouchard.

Firefly to me is more of a show about humans in the future than scifi. There are no aliens in the program, somthing I like alot, because I don't believe there are any intelligent aliens out there within reaching distance. It's just about humans that have colonized space when the earth was used up.
And about the political and social problems that will develop along with that colonization. I think it's perhaps the most realistic estimation of what our future in space may be like of all the space tv shows over the years.
And, just like when North America was settled, weapons will play a big role in remote areas of space where civilization or laws are sparse.
I also think the program has meaning for individualists more than collectivists.

Be fair, RTFM. Firefly didn't have the chance to develop and conclude the interwoven story arcs that B5 had. Imagine how disappointing B5 would have looked if it had been canceled after only a dozen episodes...RTFM said:
And to Firefly's credit, the dialog and acting in the first season is a heck of a lot better than that in the first season of Babylon 5. B5 doesn't even really find its feet until well into the second season.
