Unless we all watched the movie 10 times and got all our friends and family and annoying next door neighbors to see it 10 times.

I can dream though :) Maybe for the second movie we'll beat it.

When rumors of the movie hit the internet, people said that no one would be crazy enough to pick it up but Universal did. When the movie was confirmed, people said that it would be dropped before filming but that never happened. When the movie was filmed, people said it would end up being a direct to DVD release but all signs are that it will be a theatrical release. So I don't see why Serenity can't beat Star Wars III in the box office. Serenity getting huge buzz online and this is going to lead to huge buzz in the media eventually. People who have never even heard of Firefly or Serenity until the trailer are flocking to fansites to see what the fuss is about.

You see Firefly/Serenity is about doing the impossible. We have done the impossible and that makes us mighty.

Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

I can only imagine how bloody it would have been on message boards had the two movies had to slug it out within weeks of each other.

Star Wars is iconic in sci fi. There is no way around that. Some of us may not like what Lucas did with the new movies, but the fact of the matter is that Star Wars helped to revitalize sci fi when it hit. It is because of movies like Star Wars that other sci fi series have been able to make it. For that I thank Lucas. I loved the original trilogy and the new trilogy has been fairly good so far.

15 Things we learnt this week
Posted on Fri, 29-Apr-2005

with Clint Morris

It's been such an exhausting week - work, sleep, work, sleep, work, sleep, hand over wage to wife to buy kitchen appliances - that I think we'll skip the smart-arse opening and get straight into this week's run-down...latte, would be good...

1 : That "Serenity" might just make mashed spuds out of "Star Wars". OK, so it's not likely to make as much money (it'd be nice, but the Empire has more money for marketing) but it's shaping up to be the better film, and seemingly, the one that people are more interested in seeing. George might wanna have a chat to Joss about getting involved in this "Star Wars" TV series.
