So I caught part of "The Princess Bride" on tv (love that movie!), and I saw the part where Buttercup is reaching for the knife in the box to kill herself, and it totally struck me as parallel to Inara reaching for/opening the mysterious box in the ep "Serenity"...anyone else see this? 
No power in the 'verse can stop me!

Princes bride is such a good move 
and no, havent noticed that, but on a related note the flask she reaches for isnt a suicide kit.
You can’t stop the Signal.
Keep spreading the word about Firefly!

I can see how those two scenes are fairly similar in their feel, yes. Slowly opening the box and the looks on their faces... Two completely different contexts, of course, but I still see it.
Gorrammit, now I'm gonna hear the line "There's a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. T'would be a pity to damage yours." every time Inara opens her little box!

"Who are you? Are we enemies? Why is there a gaping hole through my chest? Where's Zoe?"

Get the DVD, watch it with the commentary on, listen to what the guy says about how and why it did badly in theaters, and then report back to me.
It had the same problems as Firefly and Serenity, you just can't advertise a genre crossing thing.
