I seem to remember that JoBlo.com has a history of snarky comments about Firefly. I also recall seeing him write about how many replies he's gotten. I think he's trying to make sure that his site gets lots of hits by riling the Browncoats. :-) Good strategy, really.

Well, would you looked at who swung their engine into reverse gear?

Be warned, those pages contain movie photos although nothing too spoilerific.
Granted, it's not JoBlo himself commenting but at least someone on his staff has good taste.

What do ya need a knife for, didn't we kick him through an engine ?
I'd say he's pretty well diced already - try a spoon.

Lots of movie fanboys are tv snobs. The fact that Serenity is adapted from a television show is probably all they need to start dissing it.
Some Browncoats are probably not going to be as happy with Serenity as they would have been with several more tv seasons either. Firefly started out with a kind of storytellilng perfect for television. Adapting it to movie form may feel like a cheat. I'm already steeling myself for such a reaction.

Me too. I want my Firefly back! I hope my bitterness on this subject doesn't get taken out on the film.
