Hello, I am a lucky blogger because if I shill in a proper manner, I can see Serenity on Tuesday. While the film is opening on Friday, I will be otherwise occupied on a whirlwind visit to New Jersey for a wedding (not mine) and two birthday parties. So, cough, cough:
Joss Whedon, the Oscar® - and Emmy - nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE, ANGEL and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family –squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
I am viral marketing and I am contagious.
[Naturally a full report will be forthcoming if I get in on Tuesday night].
