No. Just no. Not even the same building.Vin Deisel is not cool. The guys name is Mark Vincent, who does he think he is? Ice Cube? I will not justify his suckness by calling him that. What gives him the right think he is so cool? You could kick Mark Vincents ass.
Serenity is a GOOD movie, with GOOD characters, GOOD direction, and a GOOD script. I saw Serenity on DVD, without seeing Firefly at all. Loved it, wasn't your normal Sci-Fi garbage. I saw about 20 minutes of COR on DVD, and turned it off. It wasnt the worst Sci-Fi movie, by far, but thats not saying much.
In my opinion this just makes Serenity look bad. But on the other hand, we will get alot of COR fans because they will watch Serenity and realize how much COR sucked. Plus its a great deal.
I totally agree as far as character development. Joss cannot be touched there. No question that Vin D is no great actor.
Lookin' back at my post, I should have clarified. The overall story line of COR is what I mean. Looking at the personalities in Serenity compared to COR.. hmmmm well there is no comparison. BDM dominates! But, the concept of COR's future time/space as compared to the 'verse's peaked my interest near the same. I found myself filling in the gaps with COR. Joss is sooo deep you don't have to do that AND being that there WAS a series ahead of it.
I am still convinced Serenity was lil' too action heroine, Sorry.
Nothing and I mean nothing can touch the series!
...and I am sure I cannot kick Vins or Mark's ass.

Yeah, I liked Pitch Black, and frankly i wanted to give COR a chance. Maybe i just should have watched the whole thing. I mean its not as bad as Aeon Flux, or Ultra Violet.
That would just make me cry to see a movie like that huggin Serenity.

Did you watch the theatrical release or the directors cut? I thought the theatrical release was a lot more subtle. There are moments of stupidity in the movie, moments so badass that all realism is thrown to the side, but it's still a good movie. Not a whole lot of rewatchability, though.

I noticed the two-pack at a store yesterday, so I checked a bunch of stores today.
The Serenity/Chronicles of Riddick two-packs are also at Best Buy (They have a special two-pack area of the store--you have to search for that section) and FYE stores.
1 Wal-Mart had a Big box in the front of the store with all the two-packs of lots of Universal movies. Sides of the display were blocked by other boxes. I had to move a box a little, so I could move some of the Serenity two-packs on the side to the front area to fill up the space that wasn't as full anymore because people had bought Serenity. I left it a little empty, so people could tell people had bought some.
1 Wal-Mart put the two-packs on shelves and Serenity had it's own designated area.
1 Wal-Mart had the Big Box of two-packs in the back of the Media Section way out of the way. So I took two of the Serenity and put them in an empty rack near the Full-Screen Serenity that they had left (All the widescreen were gone) . I also stuck a Serenity on the top of the box, so people might notice.
1 Wal-Mart Big Box of two-packs in a hallway in front of the Media Section.
If you want, keep an eye on your two-pack Box displays and make sure the Serenity ones don't get lost behind Doom or something else.
At Best Buy, I moved the Serenity two-packs so
you could tell there had been more, and some had sold.
Haven't done this since Serenity came out and I had move Serenity from the blocked sides to the empty pockets in the front.
I think it is all Universal stuff, so I'm going to try to keep the displays nice and neat.

I wonder how much of the decision to package the two together had to do with the similarities in the cover designs? :)
I thought CoR was alright. Pitch Black was groovy, as a rental.
One thing that I got a kick out of in Riddick, though, was the amount of energy and thought that must have went into coming up with different ways for Riddick to put on and take off those shades :) lol

Throw me into the pro-Riddick camp. I've enjoyed the entire series (both movies, anime and game). I thought COR was a pretty fun, "Conan The Barbarian" in space-type flick.
I'm not a huge fan of Vin Disel (who's not exactly the first actor to change their name) in general, but Riddick was one of those characters that he just seemed born to play. Maybe someday he'll be half-way convincing in something else.
I thought the director's cut was much better. Fewer plot holes, and it had more of an epic feeling by delving into the Furion backstory a bit more, and by opening up possibilities for further sequels (which probably won't happen).
