See I saw this sorta in the vein of Shaun of the Dead and Army of Darkness...sorta comedy-horror-spoofs type deals.
Yeah...the writing was a little iffy but the movie didn't take itself seriously...it was a comedy...that had creepy things in it.
COME ON...he gets speared in the stomach and walks away from it...get real...internal bleeding would lead to death...duh...but that's not the point...the point is...its a goofy movie.
If this movie was really trying to be serious...then I'd worry...

They just jacked the character of Mal from Firefly, diluted it and skewered it by the lack of Joss's writing voice, and decided that would be Fillion's character. There were two jokes that were funny. The special effects were terrible. The story was worthless.
I wanted to see Fillion in a good movie so that his reputation would be bolstered and more works would be in store for him. Instead I saw a terrible movie that held him back.
I mean, one of the jokes in there is just a zooming in, "holy sh*t". Sorry if Firefly spoiled me with creative jokes and organic characters, but that struck me as terrible. And most of the movie was like that.

Nathan's episode of LOST is being aired USA next Wednesday, November 8th, 2006
YES!! Everyone has to watch it.. there's already buzz about his appearance and there are links on some of the myspace accounts of fans to pictures of Nathan as Mal and short blurbs about Firefly and Serenity. This is such a great thing for him and us. YAY, Cappy!

Hey Mrs. FollowMal funny that you should post the Slither pic with that particular actor along with Nathan. Seems the last engagement Nathan had with that fellow actor he was the law inforcement official
Yes indeed he was the law enforcement official last go round and he was fine really he was.. but Nathan looks better in the uniform.
Gregg Henry did such a good job in Slither.. he and Nathan had the best lines.

To join the Appreciatin' Nathan crew, send me an email at followmal@gmail.com with your email address. I'll send you an invite to the serenitymovie.org board ( it's where the FFF.net crew camps out when this board is down, or if you're Chrisisall, you visit real often!). I'll also send you instructions in the email back about how to join the crew once you sign up for membership on the board. The board is just like FFF.net.. it's a Browncoat haven and full of fun and mischief. It's my home away from home, although nothing replaces FFF.net.
It's free and a forum just like this one, although laid out a bit different. We'd sure be happy to have you join. We do just what the title of the crew says.. we Appreciate Nathan.There's an almost 200 page thread over there full of pics and fun. And a locked subforum for random musings.

xitwound117,
Did you watch all the DVD extras yet and the commentary with Director James Gunn and Nathan? Lots of Nathan in the extras. They had so much fun making this movie.
I thought the movie was funnier the second time I saw it because I wasn't so worried about what was going to happen next. So relieved when someone said Awesome.

The movie was already written before Nathan got the part and Nathan was the last person cast in the movie. Director/writer James Gunn knows Joss...I can't remember the connection. Friends or relatives??
The similarities with Mal I think are caused by Nathan and our familiarity with Mal. The character Bill Pardy is totally different than Mal. He's clumsy. He has an easy going nature. "My easy goin' nature is being sorely ****** tested." He is a slacker. He has never had to do anything real hard in his entire life and he has no idea what to do. He has no ambition. He almost gets taken out by a deer. Not very good at planning. Bill Pardy is not a survivor of the fittest person. Mal is. Mal or Zoe or Jayne around and the slugs would have been toast.

I second all of that, Anony1.
SLiTHER was spoof horror.
Pure cheesy, slimy, latex-y zombified spoof.
Nathan was cast late in the proceedings.
I got *no* Captain vibes from his performance.
He got excellent reviews even from critics
who weren't nuts about the movie.
There's a vast collection of links to said
reviews posted on the NA thread at our other
home-board.
I saw the movie in a theater and jumped even
when I knew what was going to happen.
Sorry if anyone didn't like it -- chacun a son
gout -- I know some people who really don't
like Firefly. If we were all the same the
world would be pretty boring. ::-)
bun, waiting for Wednesday

I'm gonna 3rd that, Anonymous. I really think it takes a second or third viewing to fully appreciate the fun-ness and intent of the film, though. The first time I saw it in the theatres, I had no idea what to expect. Is this horror? Should I laugh? Is this supposed to be dramatic or believable?
Then the second and several times after, I could just sit and enjoy the ridiculousness. It's just a fun movie- and that's all James Gunn wanted to do: Make a movie like the ones he loved growing up- a cheesy, yet still suspenseful, monster-type film.
And, yeah, he had no idea who to cast as Bill Pardy. I think Gunn said Nathan was the last to be cast- and that he nailed how he pictured the character all through the writing process.

I've been reading James Gunn's blog for a while so the movie was about what I expected. James Gunn has the sense of humour of an adolescent boy and is clearly no Joss.
I don't think SLiTHER is a masterpiece or destined to become a classic. For example, Ghostbusters is a mega-hit comedy horror that stands up very well. Aliens, meanwhile, is so creepy that I can't watch it again.
But I did enjoy SLiTHER for Nathany-goodness and some very cute moments. It's not the breakout that we'd hoped but solid reviews can only help.

I would never act on it, FMF. I totally respect the holy bonds of imaginary engagements.
But I admit that I have sinned in my heart.

For AKRedHead, who requested more of the Icons:
This is all the guy had, a few memorable quotes:
"But you sleep like a ghost with me
It's as simple as that
So tell me I'm mad
Roll me up and breathe me in
Come to my madness
My opium den
Come to my madness
Make sense of it again."
Goodbye to all that. III-The Opium Den (Brave)-Marillion
