Serenity

[bloved]

Anyone here seen the new movie "Serenity"?

 

If so, what did you think of the religious/social aspects of the movie?

 

The overtones of cleansing the universe of sin?

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I am a BIG fan of the series and watch the reruns every friday night on SciFi.

 

I haven't noticed any religious overtones to the series, but that might be because I'm so busy laughing my butt of at the great writing. I was a huge fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer as well. I'm not ashamed to admit it!

 

River's character (the girl who can kick butt) was in the process of being explained and developed when the series was cancelled. Stupid TV station!

It is my belief that we need a plethora, a passel, a humongous boatload, truckload, containerload, tankerload of vampire slayers. And, the sooner the better. Especially in D.C.

I reallllly want to go see this soon. Unfortunately, I've not seen all of season 1 yet. I wonder if I should wait until I see the series before going to the movie.

Even though I've seen the entire series already, my hubby and I are going to wait until the series plays through again on SciFi. I want the entire story fresh in my mind before I go see the movie.

 

Oh, and in case anyone didn't know, Buffy and Firefly (Serenity's series is called Firefly) are by the same person. I do hope he (Whedon) does something else for TV soon.

 

In the meantime I'm starting to enjoy: Prison Break, Surface, Invasion, Threshold, Ghost Whisperer and Supernatural along with my old faves CSI, Law and Order, House, Desperate Housewives and Lost. Dang I'm glad I have a DVR so I can watch these things when I have time, or I'd always be in front of the TV.
