The circus music is still there, I'm just good at supressing it most of the time. That, and the voices. All the evil voices...

1. Angelina Jolie for the lads
2. Brad Pitt for the ladies
3. The scandal around their alleged off-screen affair

Maybe Nathan Fillion should've slept with Joss...... (j/k)

It's very much a "disposable" film for me - watch once and then disgard. I wouldn't ever buy it, that's for sure.

Sorry, have to add my two cents. I am probably in the serious minority here, but I just do not think she is THAT gorgeous. She seems to have achieved this level of attractiveness that I find confusing. Perhaps it is just personal preference. :\

It's sad when movies like that make more money than a genius movie like Serenity. I believe about 70% of the population are morons and that's why bad movies do well. I don't get Brad and Angelina's appeal. Yeah, Brad's been in some of my favorite movies: Interview with the Vampire and Fight Club, but he sucks at acting. I can't think of one semi-ok movie Angelina was in since Hackers. I used to think she was gorgeous but then she started kissing her brother on the mouth... and married Billy Bob... and wore a bottle of blood around her neck

It says a lot about most of the population in the world when Serenity is beaten by crap like that.. I reckon most people must be walking around with circus music playing in their heads like Homer Simpson.

anyways.. I just had to vent.

See, now you guys made me feel like a total idiot cuz I liked the movie. I thought it was fun with some good action scenes. And Brad Pitt is indeed very hot. It's not near as good as Serenity, but it's still collection worthy.

Of course, sometimes I think I have a split personality because part of me likes these mindless entertainment films, while the other part seeks out lesser known, better, and more thought-provoking films like Serenity. If only you guys could see my collection. It's such a huge and confusing range.

Well, if you totally ignored her real life personality, and she never said a word in your presence, well, then I guess she might be sort of attractive to some people.

Maybe it's just me, but I can see the hottest babe and the world, and think she's gorgeous -- but once I find out what a total jerk she is, that hotness sizzles right out. Hotness may cause an initial attraction, but without something inside, she might as well be a cardboard cutout.

What I really don't understand is how Someone like Joss Whedon who obviously has a money making reputation gets canned so quickly.

P.s. Who puts a first episode against the Superbowl. Fox is really crap !!!!!!!!!!

I hate Rupert Murdoch (probably got his name wrong)

Compared to Firefly I think shows like charmed and SG1 are horrible. There has never been a good Sci fi show since Star Trek (shatner)
