Not to worry. I just saw the trailer at the theater and the only threat I could see was Ben Kingsly, a fine actor but not enough to cause any trouble for our BDM. On the whole, it looked to be a pretty ordinary film from a much-done source. I'll wait for video on that one, and I am a Dickens fan.

Well... I thought the trailer for Oliver Twist looked kinda weak. And anyway as others have said the target audience is different. One is a super-hip sci-fi action adventure (with wonderful lovable characters and great story), and the other is a serious drama based on a literary work. Very different, and people in general lean toward wanting to see the former in the theater and renting the latter. :) That's my plan, at least.

Ok, I took one of my lil blue pills that calms me down...or what it the red ones? lol 
Sorry for being such a drama queen but its something that making me wonder and worry a lil bit. Y'know, that people might not get the movie and it will flop( knock on wood) and then we won't have our Serenity#2 or 3 so we'll be just watching the dvd boxset and renting the movie or buying it when it comes out and wearing it out til the DVD player can't read the disc anymore. But y'know, I'm not worried. I just get like how a mama bear gets when her baby cubs are in danger. Very protective. Grrrrr...
Too much Animal planet.

May have been on the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

I am certain Serenity will win at least one box office weekend tally.
It may not be the first one (Corpse Bride opens the week before, after all) but it could very well win the second or third weekend... kinda like Wedding Crashers... by building an audience slowly through word of mouth.
Never fear... we are a phenomenon and that makes us MIGHTY!
