I think this is about as good as we could expect from News McNuggets. It would have been nice if their reviewer had paid attention to the movie - I really do wonder if she saw it at all.

Plus I think the BDM is a bit too anti-establishment for USA Today's editors to allow it to get a good review. Feh.

What I hate is they say the TV show was a flop while obviously without any knowledge of the history of firefliy and hoe Fox farked it up their own selves.

I wonder...do the same people own Fox and USA Today? You'd think a paper with funding like USA Today must have could afford a competent reviewer, if they bother to send one at all.

Apparently, Scott Foundas simply decided to blow off seeing any movies the previous week because he wanted to spend some extra time writing.
He just spent 20 minutes reviewing "Good Night, and Good Luck" & "Wallace & Grommit" for Mark and Brian, and talked about "A History of Violence" a little bit, after Brian said, "...since we didn't talk to you last week."

Alas, there seems to be no power in the 'verse that can bridge the gap between those that bring me the most joy: Joss and M&B.
"Never the twain shall meet", I reckon.

Joss posted this on the OB

Post subject: Worst. Movie. Ever.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

was probably "Summer Holiday" with Mickey Rooney. Can you believe that kid was the biggest star in the world? Funny world.

Meanwhile, I'm just rounding out the weekend with a little praise for my dear peeps. Considering everything we've had to overcome, this is an extraordinary achievment. And you guys have been in the front lines. I lurk, I know all. So thanks. Some of you might know that this flick means more than a little to me.

Yes, the second weekend will tell all, as we've always known. I'm not here to push you guys -- you push yourselves way harder than I could anyway. I'm just trying to figure out how to get the message out to the guys that aren't you, that don't know any of you, and that don't run into someone who saw the film. I'll be hounding the extremely patient Uni execs on that very subject. Like the lady said, "People have to know".

It's not that there HAS to be a sequel. It's just that I've got so many IDEAS...

Yeah, see, that's the same problem I'm running into: Turning folks on to the Whedonverse with words alone.

I had a friend over, and I put on the Firefly DVD, and the guy was hooked within ten minutes (largely cuz he had nowhere else to go)!
I can't do that with everyone that I suspect would like this!

When I just tell them about it, I just get these glazed looks.
