<i>Great news. <br /><br />It got a good week for release, 2 fairly big films out next week but no real competition this week. <br /><br />Wallace and Grommit and Lord of War both out next week. <br /><br />Just picked up a copy of Hotdog havn't read it yet but the cover says. <br /><br />"Star What? - Serenity best sci - fi film of the year"</i><br /><br />Flynn,<br /><br />Wallace & Gromit will kick major arse. And, if any movie other than Serenity were out, I'd be one of the first through the door to see the were-rabbit terrorize the silver screen.<br /><br />The timing was obviously better for the UK release. Meanwhile, the movie has done 'okay' in the US. Actually, #2 during opening weekend strikes me as damned good. <i>Star Wars</i> had plenty more advertising. Of course, it was breaking new ground in movies. Still, I'd say Serenity is part of that tradition - a low-budget, no-big-names movie which nevertheless does quite well and makes money. And, as with <i>Star Wars</i>, it introduces a major new up-and-coming director to the world of movies. Whedon clearly has a future in the industry, no matter where he decides to go.<br /><br />Maybe this movie really is the beginning of the next <i>Star Wars</i>?<br /><br />Forgot to post the following to this thread last week (though I did hit the other thread here in the Science Fiction forum with it):<br /><br />From SCIFI.COM | Firefly:<br /><br /><b>FRIDAY, OCT. 7</b><br /><br /><font color="yellow">"Trash"</font><br /><br /><i>Mal's former wife, con artist Saffron, returns with a scheme to steal a rare antique weapon, but Mal learns there is no honor among thieves and more about Saffron's past than he ever wanted to know.</i><br /><br />EVERY FRIDAY AT 7/6C<br /><br />And <i>this</i> week - today, as a matter of fact:<br /><br />From <a target="_blank"></a>
