I can't remember where I saw it, but I did read somewhere that the Serenity trailer was in the Elektra movie. So off I went to see Elektra.

NO TRAILER! BOO!

I want my $13.00 back! Elektra by herself just wasn't worth it!

(just to mention, I am in Canada; maybe the announcement I read was for the US. Still. Boo.)

sorry that happened to you yeah, it was announced a little while back that since Serenity had been moved back, the trailer wouldn't be attached to Elektra. It will be attached to Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy instead...or last I heard!

Yeah, Biku. Come on, as a Firefly fan you should already know this!

Guess you didn't keep up as you should.

No sympathy from this corner.

Should Universal consult with you first?

Biku:

Well, I do have sympathy for you. You had heard right: The trailer was going to be shown with Elektra; but as others have said, when Serenity got moved from April 20th to September 20th -- you've heard that, right? -- the trailer got moved back to THGttG, too. If you'd checked this board (General Discussions) and read the "I almost feel sorry for Elektra" thread, you certainly could've saved yourself some cash.

But... Since you didn't read and heed, and did waste the cash: How was Elektra? We're all just dying to know, and waiting the 3 months (2? 1?) for it to come out on DVD seems an eternity.

You could post a review here, on the thread you began, or look down the page a little and post it under "I almost feel sorry for Elektra".

It's tough to keep up with the latest info, I know. And it's tough you spent your hard-earned cash needlessly. So, I'll sign off...


Sympathetically (truly),

zoid

Sorry for your wasted money. HHGttG is a great place to push Serenity though. We get to see a good movie (I hope) and see the trailer!

You mean September 30th. Just don't want anyone to have the wrong date :).

I guess I should have been paying a bit more attention, but I don't really follow the boards, just the headlines. So I knew Serenity had been pushed back, but didn't make the jump in logic that maybe the trailer had been pushed back as well. My bad. Actually, Elektra's bad, I guess--the movie could have used some help.

I'll be brief with the review: it was better than Daredevil. But I still felt like the director was standing behind my chair with a 2x4 that said "PATHOS" and was whackin' me over the head with it. Repeatedly. "See? She's a TORTURED CHARACTER!" (whack whack) "She has a PAINFUL CHILDHOOD MEMORY!" (whack whack) "Her Dad was TOO HARD ON HER!" (whack whack). Ouch, I get it.

Had I known about the trailer transfer, I think I would have at least waited until Elektra was out on video before considering it. Ah well. At least the economy got stimulated.

And that's all that matters, right? ;)
