Good work, Akalightningbug!

And no I didn't know about the news of beating out SW Ep 3, but I know it deserved to get beaten by our wonderful movie!

We're glad you are with us fellow Browncoat!

Mild curiosity bit, how old are you?

Anyway, you're new here, so there are a couple of things you've got to know:

Welcome here, we're weird.

If you want more you need to keep doing what you've done, get more people interested, good work, keep it up.

Ok here's the really important part, we've all come here for different reasons but we are here now, we are together, one thing brought us all together and in spite of all of our differences, and more to the point because of them, we are a family.

Welcome home.

--

I see that you've been here for a bit, I'll feel really silly if I already welcomed you, but I don't remember doing it and I'd hate to leave you unwelcome for fear of silliness.

I hear much of this rotten tomatoes place, do you know how many people go there?

Episode III did beat out Serenity. Serenity came in 13 place in best reviewed movies of 2005 and in 3rd place (Ep. III was 2nd and Harry Potter 1st) in the Sci-Fi and Fantasy Genre.



Oh, and play Cantr II at www.cantr.net.

It deserved to be beaten by any movie, us beating it makes it twice good.

I am sorry to hear this. That piece didn't deserve to beat our movie.

Hell, with the difference in production costs and advertising it's amazing Serenity came in right next to SW III. I mean, how much more advertising is it possible for Star Wars to get? Serenity and Firefly both had pathetic advertising. I think SW III probably spent as much money on advertising as it cost to MAKE Serenity. Our little 'verse kicks all kinds of pigu. Just sayin' is all.

(Yup, just got done watching more Firefly)

Watching some now, felt like I might be watching Serenity too much, so I'm watching the episode Serenity as I type.

Which reminds me, why have I been watching Serenity so much? I was just given the widescreen version (actually it was a trade, someone gave me widescreen because they knew I wanted it and asked only for my fullscreen in exchange.)
