Trailer. Two words: Yea, verily.

To pass the days until September... I'm really looking forward to the publicity that I hope comes with this film. After all, it's about time Joss Whedon and his witty/brilliant/wacky crew get flashed about for all the people to see. Wonder if there's some way fans can suggest to various talk/entertainment shows that the film is promoted.

I suppose "The Daily Show" with special guest Joss Whedon would be too much to hope for, yeah?

Joss Whedon on the Daily Show would be shiny!

I think it's pretty great how Universal is getting fans to start promoting the movie now, five months before it even hits theatres. The only thing that worries me is that it won't be backed up with full promotion in the summer - trailers, tv spots etc.

If nothing we do matters, then all that matters is what we do. -"Angel"

I spent most of the afternoon (after obsessively viewing the trailer

) bouncing around the web to see what the reaction was. There were a lot of threads about the trailer or references to the trailer in some surprising places.

There's probably something over on the IMDB Serenity page but I stopped reading the threads over there (people just get too nasty).
