I have yet to see the BDM, so my complaint about the poster may just spill over to the movie.
I think River looks too sexy. Her character is only 17, and she's supposed to be nuts. Now, Summer is one of the most lovely gals in the verse, but I liked it when they covered up her beauty a bit in FF and made her look like a loony little girl.

Does anyone know what font that is that they're using for the word "Serenity"?

Just 'cause it's a poster with our people on it don't imbue it with greatness. Truth is, poster's {chinese}. Even Jayne coulda threw something together better'n that. With no pay. Mal, he'd a shot the guy that came up with that gorram thing in the knee, make 'em do it again. Then shoot out his other knee for good measure. Only one that's gonna been happy with it'll be River. And we all know she ain't right up there.
You folk stop dripping your lavish praise on somethin' for mere sakes of it being brownish. We're all Browncoats here. Don't gotta pretend to fall in love just 'cause we fear the wrath of a bit of flame. Be a mite more selective.
That said, if it makes a few more of them gorram folk from Down Under, them as can pay, open their eyes and take notice of what we've got showin' for them, great. Ain't for us anyway.
RIVER: Purple elephants are flying.
MAL: Good. Thanks for the update.

Ok, I don't see what's the problem, people? Some of you guys are taking this way to seriously. I think it looks great. I love it. It looks futuristic but not over done,not like how the Stars Wars posters or whatever are. Y'know that saying less is more.
I mean you guys should be happy. C'mon!! Its a new poster! More attention for the movie! It looks interesting! Veyr cool and stylish.
First, people say they didn't like the trailer because of this or that, whatever, and now people don't like the poster.
what more do ya want, people?

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

Personally? More Firefly episodes. Less yammerin' about how great the poster is. Simply put, poster's not in the spirit of the show, and was done for targeting a particular market.
It's about quality, not quantity. If it's between more of this crap and nothin' at all, I'll choose nothing'.
Now that I think on it, that thing bothers me more and more. That poster was clearly put together by some marketing goon who didn't see a single episode of the gorram show. Come on... River looks like a slayer. And that whole mess in the middle that's supposed to be Serenity? Bah.
It just ain't right.
If you didn't like the trailers, well, that's a matter altogether different. That there was a piece of the god-honest stuff. But then, if trailers were horses, we'd all be eatin' steak.

I think its very ordinary.. US one wasnt great but this one makes it look awesome. Very disappointed with who ever is doing all these promotional shots. Lift your game.

It looks like the poster for some cheesy 1980's sci-fi movie, some straight-to-video thing like "Krull". I kinda like the fact that it's not just a typical floating heads poster, but it doesn't seem like Firefly at all.
I do like the Serenity logo, though. Very art-nouveau (but again, not very Firefly).

Howdy do all, yike! first time on this whole forum thing - all a bit scary - you FF fans sure are dedicated! Thx for all the top info i have gained about FF and Serenity since i found this page much praise to ya'll.
Anywho i had a thought about the new poster, first i thought i did prefer it to the confused mergo-heads other one - all a bit big-headed (in a size way!). The first thing i thought of when i saw it was that River reminded me of Baby Spice in that Say you'll be there (??) or something Spice Girls video in the desert - anyone else with me on this. So it has kinda ruined it 4 me now!
I guess they are trying to appeal to a wider market - but they are a bit rrrubbishh, posters so far a bit disappointing - sure it's not a reflection on the movie tho! (can't wait!)
Also a big booo to my work, who have banned me from getting on the fantastic new Serenity website - i guess i will have just do some work now, d'oh!

You know what - the thought occurred to me too! Although I think she's more Posh Spice than Baby Spice!

Arrghh I feel shamed that i even drew the comparison - but it's stuck there now and i can't forget it!
More to the point when do we get to see some more poster/merchandise type related stuff released in the UK, i know we are getting the movie release a little later but it just spoils all the fun if everyone else gets a crack first. Or did i miss that - have to speed read the topics - sooo much to digest! So apologies to any hard-working Brit Browncoats out there!
Oh yeh just to have another moan also (4 a change!) where is the UK promotion in say, hmm, SFX - which i subscribe to - barely a mention in last months issue so there better be a big gorram article (and front cover!!) in next months issue, or i'll seriously reconsider my literary choices from now on, especially if i have to read more dirge about freeking Doctor Who, which just does nothing for me. I think Empire have managed to plug it more than anyone else - well done team, get my vote!
And... relax....
thx for listening!
