The pole is still open, we are a distant second behind star wars.

I didn't vote in the SFX poll, and I'm a bit surprised that Serenity won.
I have voted in the BBC poll, and it wasn't for Serenity, but for what I consider, forty years later, is still the best SF film ever made - 2001: A Space Odyssey. Blade Runner would be my second choice, and Serenity the third.
I didn't click the link to find out what they have against Serenity or Browncoats. I don't give a frak what anyone else thinks about my opnion.

Granted, Serenity is awesome. If it wasn't, this site would have died out a year or so back, and there certaintly wouldn't be as many new 'Coats around hereabouts. Still, Joss was given an impossible job; turn an odd thirteen hours of T.V. show into a two hour movie. Even for someone like Joss, that's a tall order. He did an admirable job... but still, it would have been that much more awesome if we had a series end instead of a BDM. So, Serenity is still easily in my top ten, but it ain't the best of all time.
However, off that list? It IS the best (Star Wars sort o'... died out after the first trilogy. C'mon, SIX movies? That IS kinda stretchin' it (*Ducks laser blast from Star Wars fans*). Um... heh heh? Also, I love Blade Runner, but Serenity (To pput it bluntly) pwns it, it Teen Speak.
And I cry when Angels deserve to die...
Having fun yet?

I've been trying to vote, but everytime I do it says 'page not found'.
The vote might still count, but I doubt it.
Any advise?
P.S. Serenity is so better than Star Wars.
I am looking for a good signature, this is only temporary.

That cinemablend article made me wanna puke.
I had to force myself to finish it.
Why does this guy hate us so much, we never did nothin' to nobody.

They hate us cause we're a threat to their precious 'best sci-fi' title.
They're scared, and they should be.

Spreading the word 
its what we do. The squeaky wheel gets the oil and all that...
Trumping Star Wars has got a LOT of people to look at what Serenity & possibly Firefly is all about. Check out the surge on Amazon over the last couple of days. A SFX article said Serenity leapt from 144th to 15th on the best sellers over night.
Of course there will be some Serenity bashing from the Star Wars fans. It don't change the fact that Serenity finished #1 and is not that far away on the BBC rematch. 
This could be the diversion we need to get people of influence to notice there's a far bigger fan base now than in 2005. Good result all round. Well done Browncoats.

The cinemablend rant is a load of crap designed to garner more interest in the website. Read the comments the guy has had back from people who wear coats of other colours than brown...
If Serenity has shot up over 800% on Amazon.co.uk, we are not doing a bad thing. Most people will like it, some wont. The ones that wont are more likely the ones who will post their own rant about wasting time and money and fixed votes.
We are spreading the signal. I would not consider the massive wave of interest this has caused to be a bad thing.
Incidentally, who would threaten to kill some small time movie critic because he gave the BDM 4.5/5? I think they may have a problem with their brain being missing!
I'll be in my bunk....
