"...welcome to Serenity." *grin of a ten-year old*
Gets me every time, crying and smiling, EVERY single time. The happiness in the face of a man who has clawed, screamed and bled for his baby to keep going, joyous in the fact that millions around the world have cheered him on to make it happen. The fact the film didn't suck was, of course, a lovely bonus. A beautiful speech.
It is amazing how much I still simply find so much joy in everything that has to do with the saga that Joss created......may have been short lived but I got a hunch it will stay with me a very long time
@Bakllazaan he means big name draws, the kind of movies that people go to just cause they hear an actor's name. While I think all of them should be, no actor in Serenity is a household name.
HELLO SPIKE FAN'S OK IF THEY ARE MAKE A BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER MOVIES HEY JOSS MAKE A SPIKE MOVIE MORE MONEY ON THE SIDE :HOLLYWOOD VAMPIRE STAR'S IS STILL SEXY..................
@Pathrone Not sure what you're asking, but the movie is called Serenity and it's been out for a long time now. The movie is great, the series (Firefly) is greater, and Joss is a legend. Check it out for sure if you haven't already.
Also... Netflix has the full series of Firefly available for Instant Watch right now in case you have an account.
While I do love the show and the film it makes me sad that I only became aware of it after its demise. I would have loved to have been part of the movement that brought about the film Serenity.
So in that regard I guess I'm not a true Browncoat.
Serenity gave Firefly the respectable finish it deserved after all that FOX did to screw over the show. Its a shame though all the minor stories (e.g. the two men with the blue exam gloves "two by two hands of blue"), nuances, and build up to what would have been the series finale died when it was cancelled.
They should've went to scifi and not fox, Fox is assholes when it comes to TV production. and the movie made me sad..was good, but very sad. Im hopping the events that transpired can be..eh forgotten and they can hop back on the train and start making the series once again with a reliable company that isn't run by monkeys with cigarettes.
This makes me smile, because as a new Browncoat, its amazing how the the fans did this. I am currently fighting for CHUCK to get renewed so I know the feeling of the grassroots movement. Its Amazing!
The first thing I would do if I ever invented a time machine would be to go back in time and win the lottery back-to-the-future-style.
The second thing I would do would be to bribe the Fox executives with all this money in order to prevent this brilliant show from being prematurely canceled and Serenity ever being made.
Oh, and I would probably go to the 40s and see if Hitler really has only one testicle...
I feel so sad that I wasn't here back then to obsessively spread the word to everyone I know. Is there no chance the TV show will come back on the air?
Every single time I watch this, I imagine a preview audience of Browncoats going absolutely bug-nuts!!! The noise must have been insane! And the grins and tears around the room on the final lines ("We have done the impossible. And that makes us mighty. *smile of a man who's gone thru hell and arrived at the helm of a Major Motion Picture* ...welcome to Serenity.") would have been very gratifying indeed.
I was fortanate enough to witness this intro in theaters. Yep, I went to a preview screening, point of fact, it was the third and final preview screening that was held in June 2007. Just like you said, sitting there among fans was just a blast, nothing is ever going to compare to it. Not ever. Being able to enjoy all the same jokes, getting the same references. It was a very beautiful thing.
I realise now that there is a very, VERY, slim chance that the series would come back or even that theyd make another movie but I will always love the film and the series that Joss put his heart and soul into. Thanks Joss
We live in a world of if onlys, and this but another one that people will always wish for...
...and Mr. Whedon has my deepest respect for his strong believe in his ideas and inspirations, which made him producing a movie almost nobody (except us real fans!)gave a chance to!! Well, finally it was indeed a flop, but not in quality!! Thanks, Mr. Whedon, for bringing this great story to a "proper" ending. May peace, luck and success be with the "Firefly" and its brave, headstrong little crew!! Travel on, fellows!!
I love this show so much - just because it isn`t such a mega blockbusting, mass compatible production!! It`s a small one with grumpy, simply likeable characters, an exotic, sometimes strange but all the way exciting story - which WASN`T told a thousand times before in other shows and movies!! The mixture btw. classical Western elements and a SciFi background is absolutely unique (so far) in movie history, and makes Whedon the creator of something completely new in storywriting!!
aaarrgghhh take battlestar galactica!!! i want firefly back. I love bsg but frack, firefly adds a bit more shiney to the world. I'd suck a roomful of obese hollywood fatcat cock to bring the show back.
Im sooooooooooo apolagetic joss. I rolled on this way to late... There is still hope ? A new fan is made every day.... LUV Damn I wnt To have seen this prime. the problem with art is it is rarely appreciated unless yr dead. Thats gotta suck. Luv u u stupid geek...
I would have given my left leg to have gone to one of the advance screenings of TBDM. Joss, we LOVE you. Browncoats don't say die! Bring on Serenity 2!
I feel like such a schmuck for not watching this sooner. On that note, "I'll be in my bunk".
