I dunno... I thought it was worth watching. I laughed a whole lot anyway. Although I think I may have been laughing at a lot of stuff they hadn't really intended to be funny.

I own a copy. I apparently have no taste. But then I never claimed to have any either.

But then again, I love FF/BDM so I can't be all that bad, I guess.

BTW: Jennifer Connely beats Angela Jolie any day of the week, no contest, although both are a bit too thin. Labrynth ruled (I have that DVD as well ). And yes, I'm about that age too.

All of you whose main point is saying that Serenity deserved greater commercial success are preaching to the choir, I'm sure.

That being said, there is room in life for other movies, and they don't all require the same depth and texture that Joss can provide. I liked Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It was light on plot, but the character interaction between Pitt and Jolie kept me thoroughly entertained, as well as the chase scene in the minivan. I could have done with a shorter ending, though.

Unfortunately Hollywood aims at the LOWEST denominator and when it does it misses anyone with a brain. Firefly was a rare phoneix that turned to dust before its time (aahhh too much Harry Potter). What I really don't understand is how Someone like Joss Whedon who obviously has a money making reputation gets canned so quickly.

P.s. Who puts a first episode against the Superbowl. Fox is really crap !!!!!!!!!!

I hate Rupert Murdoch (probably got his name wrong)

Hmmm. I've never thought of myself or been thought of, for that matter, as a lowest denominator. That I know of anyway. Let me just start by saying that Serenity is the best movie I've had the fortune to be made aware of in a very long time. Firefly being the best series--and I don't watch much regular television. However, that being said--I don't think it's taking away from the greatness that is Serenity to admit that Mr. & Mrs. Smith was an entertaining movie in it's own right. It's absolutely not as cerebral--yet it has it's engaging moments and humor quotient.
Also, I'm not a Brad Pitt fan--never thought he was that great of an actor--feel the same about Tom Cruise. The only movie I thought Brad excelled in was 12 Monkies. Anyhow, Nathan IMO blows them both away. I do, however, think that Angelina is an amazing actress. Regardless of her personal life--of which we can only speculate about.Here is what is so sad-- nobody here knows either of these people and what their lives are really like. It must be absolutely only worth the money to be an actor in the public spotlight. Imagine if your lives were so disected. Nobody deserves to be torn down like these people are for mere speculation and rumor--they aren't criminals. It really mystifies me how it's so easy for others to tear people down based on rumor--people that they don't know intimately. It must be so very hard on those that are maligned as well as their families and friends. What gives us the right to judge them? I'm sure each of us has someone in their lives that they know have been judged wrongly and how bad they have seen said family member or friend suffer. I, for one, have been one judged unfairly and know what it feels like--how bitter the pain is. Not something I'd wish on anyone else. The rant ends here--this is just a subject that brings home painful memories. Not trying to alienate anyone here, truly.

Compared to Firefly I think shows like charmed and SG1 are horrible. There has never been a good Sci fi show since Star Trek (shatner)

On Charmed I totally agree with you but thats where the agreement ends... SG1 aint that bad especially now Ben Browder is onboard. I just started rewatching the early SHATner Star Trek... its good for a giggle. :)
