I hear you Bro, I wish her feet were more clear in the shot myself...but hey, I'm just happy I found a shot of one of my favorite actresses in "the pose". Glad you like her pic.

If you get a chance, be sure and watch the Firefly TV show for more barefoot Kaylee. Episode 14 is a foot guy's dream, as she's got her legs crossed over the young doctor's lap (his character is "Simon Tam"), with her shoes kicked off. Simon says something and she teases him about it, then takes a pretty bare foot and pushes him in the mouth with it. Gosh damn I wish I could've been a stunt-double for that scene! I wonder if they actually had to pay him to let her do that to him?

I'm a huge fan of star wars, so I'm sure it would appeal to me!

Serenity kinda' takes you back to the fun that the first three Star Wars movies were, and then beyond...way beyond. Not knocking the newer Star Wars flicks, but having grown up on the first three, the latest batch just sort of fell flat, in my opinion. Having a budget of a "mere" $40 million to play on (a drop in the bucket as far as movie budgets go), Serenity should serve as a major wake-up call to Hollywood in the fact that you don't need computer rendered effects every two seconds, or cameo's from the big name stars, or a house-hold name kind of franchise to get the job done; that job being fast-paced and exciting story-telling, characters that you'll instantly fall for, and a whole new and interesting "world" to escape to for two hours (actually, one hour and fifty-nine minutes, but who's timing it anyway?).

Another thing Serenity accomplishes is not insulting the intelligence of the viewers. There are no clear-cut sides of good or evil in this world. For instance, the heroes (or maybe I should say anti-heroes) consist of thieves, fugitives, wanted killers, and even a prostitute...while the "villains" are a fascist planetary alliance that seem to try looking out for the good of the citizens. Really, it falls into the viewer's lap as to where to place their sympathies, with faults and good points existing on both sides. There is no "dark side" to start shaking your fist at from the start.

In the end though, the most obvious strength of this film are the characters. Even though they're outlaw bad-asses 500 years into the future, their humanity and charm are undeniable. Get ready to be nervous for them one minute, laugh the next, and maybe even break out the tissue for the tears the following. They're not two-dimensional paper-dolls out looking for good to do, but rather characters that get caught up in incidents that push them to their limits, and there's no doubt that you'll find yourself relating to them.

You'll love this movie...and I'm not just blowing smoke. I honestly don't see what could not be liked about it, and I'm a cynic from hell! Go see it, and be quick, because at it's fourth week in the cinema's, it probably won't be around a whole lot longer.

I understand Bro...the frustration...trying to get the word out and feeling like you're banging your head against a wall. That's the way it usually goes though...the diamonds always get obscured by the dust, and that happens in about any medium you go; movies, music, books...it's sad.

All we can do is keep trying and keep plugging, and most of all keep up the hope! From what I've heard, the movie has made about $26 million here in the states...not a blockbuster as far as movie intakes go, but a far damn cry from a flop as well! Now we just gotta hope the world market will embrace it...all they gotta make is $50 million on it, and we're gonna get another movie.

I've heard that it's sitting in the #6 spot as far as popular movies go in the U.K., and that it's doing pretty well in Russia too, even beating out The Dukes of Hazard in money-making. Kinda' embarasses me when I think of that; here in America, no matter how goofy a movie is, put somebody like Jessica Simpson in it and people flock to the theatres. Give them something with substance, and it has to struggle to stay on the radar. It's like, put a star in it, and people don't care what it is, they'll come running. I don't understand the mentality.

Keep plugging Bro, and I'll do the same. We haven't seen the last of Malcolm Reynolds and the crew of the Serenity just yet!

Well, not to add to the bad news, but I've heard that Serenity is going to go straight to DVD for some countries. Apparently, the folks in charge aren't too happy with the movie's in-take here in the states, and they're not ready to gamble it in theatres abroad.

This in itself isn't the end of the world, or maybe I should say "the 'verse". From what I understand, there have been sleeper hits in theatres that wind up making a killing in the home movie market. I understand Highlander is such a case, and it wound up getting movie sequels and a couple of TV series. For that matter, The Incredible Hulk didn't make the numbers it should've either, and even it's got a TV show.

I'm a late-comer to all of this...I only saw one episode of Firefly before going to see Serenity, then I bought the box-set to see everything I missed out on, then I've gone back to the theatres two more times to see Serenity again. I'm amazed at how emotionally into this I am and so fast, considering that there are folks who have been Firefly fans from day one. No doubt that they're more concerned than I am, and I've literally been stressing over this!

I'm still going to keep plugging, and it goes without saying that I'm squirelling money away for the DVD when it comes out (and I'm planning on buying a few copies to give as gifts). If, God forbid, that this is the last we see of the crew of the Serenity, it'll be a sad time, but I'll be thankful for what we did manage to get. Real jewels don't come along very often, and when they do they're never appreciated the way they should be. We can at least do that...be thankful for all that we've got so far.

Actually, I had never heard of either firefly or serenity, until I heard about it here. Strange, because I thought I was usually on top of things like this.. Don't know how I missed out on this. I don't think it ever came to theatres around me, or else I probably would have seen it. Do you know when it should be coming out on DVD?

---

Don't feel bad Bro...I was in the dark about it myself until VERY recently, and my finding out about it was pretty much a fluke (long story on all of that). While I'm thankful that Universal gave the go-ahead to a project like Serenity, I can't help but think a lot more should've went into the promotion of it.

Anyways, to answer your question, word around the campfire has it that it's going to hit DVD around Christmas. So until then, you can watch the re-runs of Firefly on the Sci-Fi channel on Friday nights at 7:00. Since there were only 14 episodes made, I don't know how long they're going to keep the show in rotation, so be sure to see it ASAP!

Another thing you could do is hunt down the Firefly box-set and check that out. You may be able to rent it, I'm not sure. That way, you get all 14 episodes in the order they were meant to be shown, uneditted, plus bonus goodies. This way, you can totally get up to speed on the Firefly/Serenity "'verse" before you see Serenity.

Something else you could do, and I have yet to do this myself, is to hunt down the Serenity comic books. It's a three issue mini-series written by Joss Whedon himself (so you know they're authentic story), and they take place between the 14th episode and the Serenity movie...bridging the 8 month gap in the timeline. Good luck hunting these puppies down though...even with multiple covers on each issue, these things have totally SOLD OUT. Wish me luck in finding myself some of these comics!

So there you have it Bro...it's not too late to start enjoying this masterpiece of a story right now. And of course be sure to get Serenity when it comes out on DVD. You're gonna love it I tell ya...
