A gorram doll
Wednesday, February 15, 2006

When I first heard of Serenity (I only saw FireFly afterwards), I saw this poster that went along with it:



Seems like they did everything to make Summer Glau as "hot" as possible. Didn't bother me then. But now that I'm in Love with River, I'm beginning to find this picture of her more and more distasteful somehow. :( She looks weird; wrong make-up around the eyes; I dunno, she looks like a crazy witch. Don't get me wrong, I totally adore my little crazy person. :) y'all know that. But this look is more of a "lets-gets-a-cheap-has-nothing-to-do-with-the-movie-even" thrill out of River.

I dunno; I just looked it at again, today; and I find it really upsetting. :(

Of course, marketing people seem to miss that River Tam, without any make-up, really is the most genuinely beautiful person. There was no need to dress her up like a gorram doll!

Hi Jeshikat,

Thank you so much for seeing this the way I do; glad there's still some sanity in the world. :)

Actually, I went to the Summer Glau site (of course). And, I dunno what to say; she's gorgeous, of course, even when she's not River. But for some reason, I still find River a lot more beautiful. I dunno, when Summer is all sensuous and all, she kinda misses that River frailty I so Love. So, I think I'm gonna stick with just River. :) Without the make-up, and any other things to prettify her, I find her stunningly dazzling above any other woman... Summer included. :)

I didn't see that, the first thing I saw for serenity was the dvd case (I really should get out more). Since I already liked firefly at the time, my first thought was "What the hell did they do to River?" This is even worse, it makes you wonder if the advertising people actually watched the movie before doing their jobs.

yeah, it looks nothing like her, its rediculas. and w/ a larger version, it kinda even looks like it's been massively graphicly altered- who knows how much of htas even her. personally, i think browncoats should be in charge of all advertisement- its perfect, we know what we're doing, theres bound to be plenty of us who know a thing or two about advertising, we know the subject back and front, we'd do our best anyway, and hell, tehy could pay us in autographs ;)
but yeah, it upsets me how much that and similar images kinda take away from her. i ALMOST wish she hadn't had such a big part so tehy wouldn't have used her to advertise ;)

Yeh...
I agree - I've been waiting for someone to bring it up. I just wasn't sure what I thought / felt was wrong with it - kinda like when you have a word on the tip of your tongue, but now that you have said that I can see it now...

It doesn't even really look like her and the look she is giving is not even a "River" look.

But I do agree with Copilot - Summer Glau is hot in real life (from a chick's perspective of course), I went to the OFFICIAL website of Summer... let's just say v. shiny ;)

LOL!!! I think I have ranted long nuff... sorry Asarian *blushes*

Keep on smilin'
