The funniest part is that "disappointed" icon. Priceless.

The explosion does not eminate from New Orleans. I know. I live there. It seems to be centered somewhere along the Texas-Louisiana state line.
Also, I had a thought:
Could the images we see of "Earth that was" be a retelling/narrative explaining the evacuation of Man from the planet?
Something along the lines of the short exlpanitory narration done by Shepard Book as a precursor to the teases when Firefly was on Network?

It'll be Joss's political statement for the movie. "In the year 2040, faced with just a two years supply of oil reserves, Man used it all to go into space in search of more...."

Just a little more direct than the TV show's narrative :-).

Well, if you really want to know, highlight this spoiler tag. It's nothing major, but, you know - if you want to be a Serenity movie virgin, don't spoil yourself ;)

Select to view spoiler:

Serenity starts with a voice over from a female after the Universal logo, telling us about the Universal Alliance/Independence war, and from what I recall about "earth that was" being 'all used up'. This is all as the Universal logo is pulling out, and we have some nice CGI etc.

The female voice turns out to be a teacher, who is talking to a class about history. Queue young river (etc).

The retelling of virtually the entire Firefly story is all done within 5 minutes, and is a masterful job of screen writing. Unfortunately, it's also the point where people faff around with popcorn and don't pay attention.

Isn't that the reason we have to sit through thirty minutes of commercials and trailers, so we finish all our popcorn before the movie starts?

Could be that it's Britney Spears's career going up in a puff of smoke. ;)
