Reclaimer Posted January 11, 2006 Posted January 11, 2006 That's probably why I just didn't get into it. Never assume things about your audience. This movie was made strictly for the fans, and nothing more. *Hides fanboy-ism* Don't say that, alot of "Non" fans went to it, and liked it too.
acdcfanbill Posted January 12, 2006 Posted January 12, 2006 That's probably why I just didn't get into it. Never assume things about your audience. This movie was made strictly for the fans, and nothing more. i dunno i saw it in the theatre w/o any knowledge of a tv show and thought it was great. in fact it was one of the few movies i saw in the theatre twice since then, it's caused me to aquire and then buy the Firefly set and the movie itself perhaps im the exception and not the rule.
Writer Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 I'd heard of the TV show before seeing the movie, but it wasn't until after I saw the movie that I found and watched Firefly... and it was because of the movie I wanted to

I liked it just from the movie - and I still haven't watched any of the series.
Darth Groovy Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 I have to say that I got hooked on the series, and the movie makes a hell of alot more sense once you see that. However, if they HAD made the movie for a perspective new audience, it would have been refreshing to see Serenity branch off into a movie series. Pitty, i'm really hooked on Firefly right now!
Mike Windu Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Gasp! Thread has come baack! Anyway, the movie made great sense to me, even though I'd never seen Firefly. If I still bought dvds, I would buy firefly and serenity...
Lightsaberboy Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Hah! You can't take the sky from this thread!
Darth Groovy Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 "Have no place I can be Since I found Serenity. But you can’t take the sky from me." Damn song has been stuck in my head all week...
toms Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Just watched season 4 of angel on DVD and it made me miss serenity. Not that angel was bad at all (though it did get a bit too soapy for me in the middle) but i'm kinda needing a sci-fi fix right now. Anyone else notice how Mal is essentially exactly the same character as Angel? (except for the vampire bit obviously.) You could pretty much swap the characters or actors without causing much commotion. Which would be fun.
Lightsaberboy Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Joss is a one-trick pony with a bunch of his characters but it's cool, cause we still love him!
toms Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 Wonder if Wonder Woman will be buffy? They had Charisma Carpenter as the stong favorite for the role a while back... but i heard Kate Beckinsale was the new frontrunner. She seems a bit, erm, skinny and underendowed to be wonderwoman to me tho... PS/ And of course Zoe was also be big-bad-evil from season 4 of Angel... so good ole joss not only has his small cast of characters, but also his small cast of actors. PPS/ Come to think of it... reasonable similarities between the crew of the merc ship from Alien Resurection and the crew of the Serenity...
Lightsaberboy Posted April 28, 2006 Posted April 28, 2006 makes sense since he wrote the screenplay to Alien resurrection. same goes for Titan AE.
Darth Groovy Posted May 1, 2006 Posted May 1, 2006 I finally finished the Firefly box set, and then watched Serenity again. The whole thing is more powerful if you watch it in that order. Sucks that we won't see anything else. Or will we? Crappier movies have spawned sequals no? BTW, Kaylee is just too adorable.
Kryllith Posted May 5, 2006 Posted May 5, 2006 Btw, there's a world wide event going on to get a re-release of Serenity in select theatres on June 23, to commemorate the sneak previews from 2005 and in celebration of Joss's birthday. The showings will be paid for by local Browncoats, who will use the event as a means for earning money to donate to Joss's favorite charity, Equality Now. You can find out more about it a cantstoptheserenity.com.

RoxStar Posted June 30, 2006 Posted June 30, 2006 Sorry to ressurect this thread, but I was wondering if anyone else had depression problems with the end of the saga. I loved the movie, but I just finished the television series, and WOW, I'm incredibly sad that I will not share more moments with my crew ;_;. Screw Rupert Murdoch.
MrWally Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 I know what you mean RoxStar, I know I'm not nearly as attatched to it as you are... but after watching the series, you really get connected to the characters. It really is ashame that Fox canceled the series.
Darth Groovy Posted July 1, 2006 Posted July 1, 2006 Maybe I should sticky this thread, what do you guys think?
RoxStar Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 We seriously need an official stickied computer problems/ parts discussion thread. They pop up every so often, you know. Once MrWally releases my Serenity DVD , I may have some closure.
MrWally Posted July 2, 2006 Posted July 2, 2006 Hahaha well your Serenity DvD is being held hostage untill I get back my Season 1 of Firefly (you'll have it back by monday, if you so desire) And I agree about a computer parts sticky

Mike Windu Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 The funny thing is, I heard that thing where everyone was sposed to go out and buy a Serenity dvd on June 20th to celebrate or something... I bought mine on the 19th unknowingly.. (saw it at Sam's Club for 10 bucks, couldn't resist getting it. )
Lightsaberboy Posted July 3, 2006 Posted July 3, 2006 I believe it was June 23th, which was supposed to be Serenity day or something, and is also Joss' b-day. I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread.
