old one was too long..continue here (old thread @ http://forum.dvdtalk.com/showthread.php?t=415213)

What does the length of a thread have to do with anything? Just curious.

Server load.

I'm part way through the visual companion right now, and I'd recommend it for people who loved the movie & Serenity in general. The first half has an interview with Joss (goes from interesting to dull) and a few bits of background on everything which were very interesting. The second half is the shooting script, and it really makes you take notice of certain things (at least that I never would have caught) along with some missing scenes from the film (some of which were shot).

Has anyone read the book yet (the movie adaptation of Serenity)? I was wondering if that was worth picking up also.

I own both books, but I haven't read them yet, outside of the Joss interview.

Well, there was a great article about it in yesterdays, LA TImes Calender section about Whedon's struggles to shoot the project in L.A. It will probably be avaliable at http://www.calendarlive.com in a few days if you are interested.

I can sum up this thread already..

Person 1: Serenity was a failure. Stupid whedon
Person 2: It underperformed
Person 3: It totally raped my star wars memories
Person 2: Wha..?
Person 1: YEAH! Nothing like a modern Star wars!
Person 8: Mal could totally shoot first against Han
person 4: I can't believe they killed _______
Person 5: SPOILER!!
Person 1: It's the third thread, dude..
Person 2: For once I agree with you
Person 8: I said Mal could totally kill Han!
Person 9: Lay off the crack, he has a wookie
Person 4: Yeah, but Jayne has a hat
Person 1: I bet it drives wookies mad, thus giving him +2 battle rage
Person 2: +2 battle fury.. what the fuck? Man, that was stupid.
Person 1: The Box office take for serenity is stupid!
Person 4: I heard Video sales would be intense! It'll sell like hot cakes
Person 3: I like hot cakes
Person 2: Oh man, no way.. Waffles are were it's at
Person 8: Mal could totally eat more waffles than Han Solo


something like that.

@ Jack.

I'm trying to figure out if I'm in the persons list.. if not, I feel left out!

Also at Jack's post and for the actual replies.

Jack you forgot:

"I'm gonna see Serenity 65 times this weekend and I've bought tickets for both of my friends and their families as well"

don't forget about kaylee's nethers

Got a quick question about a part in Serenity. What is on the screen when River looks at the TV? Is it a commercial? Cartoon? TV show? Wash makes reference to it, something like the Fruity Odie Bar?? I did a Google search and didn't find shit. can somebody explain what this is? Also was this ever mentioned/featured in the Firefly TV show at all? Thanks

Oh fuck

Persons 6 and 7 = damn_lurkers!

I'd never seen it in the show before but I believe it was a comercial for some futuristic snack food.

I took my mom to see this on sunday (she loves the series but I still had to convince her to see it theatrically *l*) and am having a heck of a time to convince my dad not to buy a Serenity bootleg and just go see the movie in theatres.

Thanks Roc!!

Am I still the only person that saw the C57D in Serenity?

According to IMDB, you're not alone. Sadly, I didn't see it.

No problem.

What's C57D?

Ya....

We're referring to the following:

In Serenity it's on the

(Is this a spoiler thread?)

Perhaps a bit off topic and old news - but since I just noticed it the other day, thought I'd mention it in case anyone didn't know.

In the BATTLESTAR GALACTICA mini-series, or, first disc of the US Season 1 box set, you can see Serenity (the ship) fly by in the background of the first scene featuring Mary McDonnell's charachter. It's at about 14:40 minutes in, and look in the upper left hand corner of the screen to see her.

Recon that because the movie and the series are made by Universal, that's how they were able to pull it off. Anyway, nice tip of the hat on the creators of BG's part.


And on a more topic related note, early rumours are that Serenity on DVD could be out as soon as 12/20, this year.

Actually, the reason the ship made into the series was because the same visual effects company that did Firefly also does BSG.
