WOOOOOOOOW!!!

GOOSEBUMPS! That was an amazing video. A very, very splendid job. I wish they have the high def version of these things so that I can burn it in a CD and recruit people.
It sure beats taking them to a netcafe and let them watch.

I barely saw ANY movies posters. One highly visible and much used promo idea is movie poster ads at bus stops.

Well, in the UK I didn't see any posters for a movie based on Firefly, but there were several posters on the London Underground (US:Subway) for some "Buffy/Angel" spin-off flick called "Serenity".

Now, Summer Glau doing the splits whilest waving a pair of Big Damn Choppers may be a not unpleasing image - and she sure does a good "Sarah Michelle Gellar and Eliza Dushku's love child looking broody" face - but that doesn't really capture the spirit of "Firefly" and certainly isn't going to pull in people who (gasp) didn't like/didn't watch Buffy/Angel, which were presented as kid's shows on UK terrestrial TV (and, in the case of Angel, cut to the point of incomprehensibility - the BBC edited Buffy too, but rather more artfully).
