It took a bit of digging, but for those of us on MySpace with "Serenity" as friend got a bulletin today entitled "R. Tam Session 1."

I did a bit of digging, and found the URL where the feed is located. Follow these instructions:

1. Open WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER.

2. Go to FILE - Open URL

3. In the window, type this URL: http://www.theidlekind.com/session1.wmv

It's soooooooo good! Trust me, you won't believe your eyes. (And NO, IT'S NOT A SPOILER!!!!)

The discussion over on the BC board is that we got the last one first, then the first one, and then we'll get a few more that chronicle what the Alliance was doing to River while she was their captive.

Viral marketing, baby! I'm excited.

But what is it, where did it come from? Is it part of the movie, part of some aspect or marketing?

Yeah, the general thought is that this is kind of underground marketing-- getting people interested in a weird video, and then they find out it's related to an upcoming movie. Just another way to create the much needed word-of-mouth. I imagine this is all in addition to the standard commercials, trailers, etc. that we will see in the next few weeks.

I've seen Serenity, and this is not part of the movie. Since the interviewer is undeniably Joss Whedon, I imagine he had something to do with its release. I bet he is enjoying all the hubbub surrounding it right now.

I would doubt it, because there's no color and the quality is so bad. For a screentest, I would think they'd want to be able to see her better. I think it's something that was created recently, and is specifically geared to get non-fans interested in the show.

Where did the "Session 416" video come from?

It was first posted on the IFILM website on August 16, although that site claims the video was found on an unspecified P2P file-sharing network. There is some dispute over whether or not that it the case, as no other mention has yet been found indicating the video came from those networks. It's possible that whoever tipped IFILM to the video told them they found it on such a network even if they did not, in order to increase the mystique surrounding the clip.

What is the "Session 416" video?

At this point, it is mainly believed to be a piece of viral marketing for Serenity, the major motion picture follow-up to the acclaimed (and short-lived) Joss Whedon television series, Firefly.

As of the August 23 release of "Session 1 Excerpt" it is confirmed that this is viral marketing for the movie Serenity.

As of the August 23 release of "Session 1 Exceprt" it is unquestionable that this is official marketing for the movie, in some fashion, given that Summer Glau and Joss Whedon are directly involved.

A fan with connections at Universal has reported that the studio denies being involved in the production of the "Session 416" video. At this stage, it may be prudent to consider that this denial could be technically correct if it was the product of some marketing firm to whom the task had been outsources, and also to keep in mind that in order to maintain the mystique necessary to generate buzz about the video, the studio would have to deny being responsible.

Oooh, that was so great! What's really creepy to me is the difference between sessions 1 and 2 and how they lured her into saying she wanted to be part of the program. And he said they could use her "brain". Gave me shivers. And then, oh it breaks the heart! "Can I still dance?"


And how sweet when she talked about Simon!

She is really the most interesting character Joss has ever created, IMHO.

No fair. Joss is playing with our hearts again. Damn you Joss! Poor River. She was a normal girl once. Such a sad clip.

Funny how the guy getting stabbed isn't sad at all but River getting crazified is.

So, here's a thought. If she's apparently so perceptive how come she didn't get a read that this guy was evil?

She looked very uncomfortable towards the end there, so who says she didn't?

Well, maybe he just gave her an uncomfortableness then. After all, why would a mere interviewer have to be EEEVIL?

she wasn't psychic until AFTER they stripped her amygdala and made her all crazy...
back when she was a sane normal girl she was just a little intuitive (just perceptive in the normal way that can't see the underlying evil).

Besides, doesn't Joss sound all kindly and nice?

I love these...someone said they were original put online with the name: John Dowses
(anagram for Joss Whedon) cool, huh? LOL

It is interesting marketing, since these are prequel to the TV show, and therefore not spoilers for the movie at all.

I wonder how many more there will be?

"Besides, doesn't Joss sound all kindly and nice?"

Anyone familiar with the experiments of Stanley Milgram? He and his researchers were able to get most of their subjects to deliver near-fatal electric shocks to people (or think that they were) simply by explaining how important the experiment was and that it was important that they continue.

Most people want to be helpful. Some people want to take advantage of that.
