Serenity/Firefly
// June 25th, 2005 // My Stuff

My good friend Jenny introduced me to Firefly. For this, I love and hate her. The series is great, but was cancelled after 13 episodes. This means that about the time you start to really get into it, the show starts to develop intriguing questions, BAM! It’s gone.
However, there is a small reprieve. Joss Whedon has now also created a movie extending the series. This movie is Serenity. Serenity comes out September 30th, but I got to see a screening on Thursday night in Boston! The movie rocks, same great character development and story writing, tons of sweet action. This is a must see movie for anyone who likes action/adventure flicks. Especially if you also have seen the series.
Of course if you’ve actually watched the series, I don’t need to tell you…




I’m very jealous of the people getting to see it in advance. The advance screenings all seem to be in the US, though, and much as I love Firefly, I’m not prepared to cross the Atlantic for an advance look. Are they still showing it without the special effects, or are they in by now?
All the effects are basically done. We actually had the effects coordinator guy (name escaping my head) at our showing. He said the may sharpen a few more things, but they are basically all in place. As far as I could tell the only thing remaining to be done was music. They had not developed a real soundtrack yet, they were just overlaying tracks from other movies to fill the gaps.
[...] Jenny sent me along this fantastic Lego creation. This thing is like 3ft long and apparently as accurate to the real Serenity as he could make it. I wish Lego themselves was producing this because I want one in my office. A couple other great over the top lego things I’ve seen: Monty Python LEGO – It’s on iFilms and there are some ads to face down in trying to get here, but it’s worth it. LEGO Rubik’s Cube Solver – a machine made of LEGO that will solve a Rubik’s Cube, crazy! BrickFilms – a site dedicated to films made with LEGO’s LEGOLAND – I can’t talk about craziness with LEGs without mentioning the amusement park. [...]
[...] After getting hooked on Firefly and Serenity, I decided to plunge into Joss Whedon’s other TV series’. It took me until halfway through the second season of Buffy to get hooked, but now I love the show. Additionally, I moved into the Angel series and that rules as well. [...]
[...] Now to move on to the fifth and final season of Angel. If only Firefly was still on TV… [...]
I thought it was going to become some boring previous publish, but it seriously compensated for my time. I will publish a link to this web page on my blog. I am sure my website visitors will find that quite helpful.
Thank you for the wise critique. Me & my neighbour were preparing to do some research about that. We received a good book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive as your information and facts. I am really glad to see this kind of info which I was searching for a long time.
