First off, let me admit something: I’m a Joss Whedon fanboy. I resisted getting into Buffy and Angel for a long time, but after a couple episodes, I was hooked. That was good goddam TV.
And Firefly was great. I was one step from buying a brown trenchcoat and printing my own Blue Sun t-shirts when they cancelled it. So please keep all of that in mind for the next bit.
Serenity was the best movie I’ve seen all year.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was good. Don’t get me wrong - I liked it. But there were too many missing elements and flawed decisions. And I even managed to enjoy parts of Episode III. Parts. But Serenity was magnificent. I laughed out loud, I cringed in my seat, and I left the theater feeling amazing.
So here’s my question, world: what the hell is wrong with you people? $10.1 million? That’s the best you can do? I don’t want to hear your excuses. You sicken me. There’s only one way you can make this up to me.
Go see the movie.
