It will be just like a "Star Trek" convention. Only better armed and more violent.
Only one reason for a man to have a sleeve of plastic cups like that...
oh and did anyone else notice Jayne hugging his rifle like a teddy bear?

If you think about it, they realized that the only way for the Alliance to stop chasing them because of the info in River's warped little head, is if the info made it into the public domain. If it's not a secret anymore, what's the point in killing the people who knew? Other than revenge, of course.....

PS looks like Jayne packs a Bagwell bowie knife and there was an M1 carbine with a folding stock on the back of the 'mule.'

Saw it a second time today. I agree with those who say it gets better with repeated viewings. The tightly condensed plot is a lot easier to take in and the action is less confusing.

Watched it tonight. Fantastic ride, very exhilarating. Best movie I've seen this year, which previously was Batman Begins (and I'm not a Batman fan).
One thing I missed was that a fast-paced 2-hour movie doesn't seem to have quite the same soul of a 15-hour series. I think they had no time to be contemplative or poignant. "Out of Gas" and "Object in Space" were colossal.

Darn right, standards. No Lorcens, Ravens, HiPoints, etc. We'll have well armed conventions with wacky costumes and totally disavow any attendees who get caught robbing trains.

THe budget was about $39 million, with very little spent on advertising and a medium-size run of prints. The big money is going to be overseas on this one. It's NO. 1 in the UK and doing well in Australia as well. Total gross worldwide is at 22 million, and given the high numbers already coming from abroad plus the expected high DVD sales, the film is sure to make a very healthy profit. The down side is, given the mediocre domestic performance a sequel may be off the boards. I would actually be happier to see it back on TV.

What I'm impressed with is that all this time none of our more uptight members have complained about the portrayal of the drinking of alcohol by gun toting folks. Heck, I would have expected a couple of "That weapon should have been locked securely in a safe prior to pouring the first drop." But alas, I will have to stick to Legal and Political for the indignation.

Firefly was one of the best action tv shows ever. I highly recommend the dvd or video series.

The scene at the end of the episode where Mal and Zoe have to take their fallen comrade from the war (the one they sadly had to kill) home to his parents is equally as powerful.
[QUOTE
btw- I just noticed, right before that, Mal kissed a cross on his necklace, so maybe he lost his religious faith, as well as faith in the independant movement?[/QUOTE]
I have alot in common with Mal.
"You murdered yourself, I just carried the bullet awhile"
Good call
I think a lot of us do to some degree. Or at least one of the characters. Thats why I like the series/movie so much. I like to think I'd act as nobley (sp?) for the most part in their shoes...

For me, this series summed up what it's going to be like when we start spreading out into space. There are no aliens in our solar system. I don't believe there is intelligent life out there within reaching distance of earth. Somewhere in the universe, yes. In our solar system, no.
There is an episode in the series where there's a guy on a world running a side show claiming he has an alien body, evidence of alien life. Of course the thing he has on display is not alien.
I find the non-alien presence extremely refreshing, and to me Firefly and Serenity are more futuristic programs than science fiction.

I'm reminded of a story that one of my friends tells.
He had a houseguest and while they were talking, the houseguest noticed that my friend's very young daughter was playing with a toy telephone. When she made it ring, he asked her who was on the phone. She looked at him pityingly and said: "It's only a TOY phone, there's no one there." and then went right back to playing.
So, to you I say, "It's only a MOVIE, not real life." and return to browsing the forum.

It took me a couple viewings of the first episode to really notice that. I really like the fact that Joss Whedon left it as a subtle touch, and didn't try to beat us over the head with it. Just good character development.
