I can feel you, my brother. But I gotta disagree. I am so tired of formulaic entertainments I could just scream. Surprise me, fer chrissakes!

The lowest common denominator approach to movie making feels more like the studios' are lifting my wallet. If Joe and Jane Average don't get "Serenity", screw 'em.

I want an imaginative, non-clichéd movie that I can't see the conclusion to -- like a slow-motion haymaker -- from about twenty minutes in. Especially since I know Joss won't cheat the details just to keep it mystifying, suspenseful. I expect to get an impending sense of dread, mixed with a reasonable hope for a happy conclusion, while never being able to guess the actual outcome until it gets there.

Kinda like Life itself. That's the value in JW's storytelling, to me.

Respectfully,

P.S.
I'd rather have one great movie than 3 homogenized ones.

Well said, Zoid. I'm with you guy! I think there is one thing that really ties this community together and that is, we love shows that are real, even when they are set in unreal places.

It's about the people and how they handle life. I find that the Firefly community is a well educated, independant thinking group of people, and that's why I love these boards!

Love your posts, Zoid.
