I'm the guy who started those "Ebert & Roeper not reviewing Serenity!" threads a while ago, so this is a big relief.

They sure waited long enough to let us know - "Into the Blue" has been on Ebert's Opening This Week section since last week, the same goes for the "Upcoming Shows" section on the E&R site. The 3 different tv guide listings I checked have shown they would review every movie BUT "Serenity" for at least two weeks. It looks like "Serenity" was added at the last minute. Maybe they saw it later than the other movies?

I'm extremely glad we'll see an E&R review. The exposure will be great, even for a split decision. Two thumbs down would be bad, but E&R generally tend to forgive a lot if there's quality dialogue and character development, which it sounds like are "Serenity's" strong points.

You are right. Its copy editors that write captions and headlines, not the writers, well in most cases at least.

Of course, I'm kinda cheesed by Ebert's crack that "one part of the spaceship looks amazingly like a loading dock", and Roeper's reply about a lack of budget.

Guys! It's a transport ship!! You need a BIG room to hold BIG stuff in, and a BIG door to bring it in & out!

except that nothing in the movie TRULY stresses that it is a transport ship. All Ebert and Ropert know is that it's just a ship...they never actually carry cargo, just passengers in the film.
either way, it got 2 thumbs up...that's excellent.
