Welcome to my latest obsession. I'm just gonna come out and say it: Please everyone go see "Serenity" in the theaters soon! Like, this weekend. Today. NOW.
The reason: It's a minor miracle this movie got made in the first place, and the only hopes for a sequel lie in the box office figures, which, though better than expected, haven't been great.
Why do I even care about this? I've been completely taken by the world of "Firefly," the 2002 TV series by "Buffy" creator Joss Whedon that was canceled after 11 episodes. Okay, so I'm not one to talk -- I was one of the millions who didn't tune in back then ... consider this my attempt at redemption.
It's such a great show: fun, funny, moving, interesting characters, evolving relationships, thievin', killin' and whorin' ... classy whorin', that is. It was given such short shrift during the original run -- it's only right that it should have a long life on the big screen.
Oh, and "Serenity," the movie, is way better and more accessible to non-sci-fi fans than any of the "Star Wars" prequels. So there.

"Classy whorin' "
Classic.
Heh. A sequel would mean more Inara-Mal sexual tension! Love it!
