Hired it out on DVD today. What a load of CRAPOLA! I read that it took 230 million at the cinemas.... As Jubal would say "does that make sense to you?". It says a lot about most of the population in the world when Serenity is beaten by crap like that.. I reckon most people must be walking around with circus music playing in their heads like Homer Simpson.

anyways.. I just had to vent.

I think it's the Angelina Jolie hotness factor. At least it was for me. :D

The circus music is still there, I'm just good at supressing it most of the time. That, and the voices. All the evil voices...

Sorry, have to add my two cents. I am probably in the serious minority here, but I just do not think she is THAT gorgeous. She seems to have achieved this level of attractiveness that I find confusing. Perhaps it is just personal preference. :\

I think that the movie had 3 things going for it:

1. Angelina Jolie for the lads
2. Brad Pitt for the ladies
3. The scandal around their alleged off-screen affair

Maybe Nathan Fillion should've slept with Joss...... (j/k)

It's very much a "disposable" film for me - watch once and then disgard. I wouldn't ever buy it, that's for sure.

In all honesty, it's really not that good of a flick. The only reason I saw this movie was because my friend wanted to go and I had nothing better to do. I really don't think Angelina is all that fabulous, and I don't know about any other ladies out there, but the whole "cheated on my wife with a a stick bug" thing kind of made Brad less attractive to me.

I'm with mrben, this one is definatly disposable.

Exactly right. Just a money making platform that the dim witted general populace lap up and run to the cinema in their droves to see. Aimed at 20 somethings with disposable incomes and ideals of a perfect world of consumerism that is brainwashed into them by the media. They have no individual thought and no aspirations of becoming a better person and the sad thing is they don't realise it. The Matrix is not far from the truth.

Only if everyone where a Browncoat and then the world would be a better place :)

It's sad when movies like that make more money than a genius movie like Serenity. I believe about 70% of the population are morons and that's why bad movies do well. I don't get Brad and Angelina's appeal. Yeah, Brad's been in some of my favorite movies: Interview with the Vampire and Fight Club, but he sucks at acting. I can't think of one semi-ok movie Angelina was in since Hackers. I used to think she was gorgeous but then she started kissing her brother on the mouth... and married Billy Bob... and wore a bottle of blood around her neck

Mal would kick Han Solo's ass.

Actually, I think Brad Pitt is quite a reasonable actor - IMHO he was good in se7en, Twelve Monkeys, and a couple of other things. Recently, though, he's started making more 'blockbuster' type films, which is a shame.

Aha! Someone else!

Agree totally - very confusing.

Not that I'm a Brad Pitt fan, but he's not a horrendous actor - have you seen him in 12 Monkeys? I can't make my eyes that googly, so I give him props. Fight Club and Seven are also examples of him not totally sucking.

As for Angelina - I'm sorry. I think she's hot. Love the long dark hair, lips and boobies. Can I say boobies? With the exception of the female cast of Firefly, I have 3 fav female actresses (not so much for acting ability, but for general cuteness): Angelina Joie, Naomi Watts, and Jennifer Connolly.

My crush on Jennifer Connolly goes all the way back to Labyrinth! (We're about the same age)

Anyway, I'm not going to defend Brangelina! I think the majority of the population are sheep being led around by giant corporations - but I still think she's hot!
