Having immersed myself in Firefly this weekend (all fourteen episodes, in order), I'm appropriately frenzied about Serenity. I'm signed up for the screening for bloggers in Waukesha on Tuesday. (The quid pro quo for the free pass is to post the blurb below, include a link to the movie's web site, and tell y'all what I think about the film after I see it. If I get a seat, you'll hear from me on Wednesday.) In the meantime, I'll be shuffling and reshuffling my mental list of Firefly's top three episodes (today, it's 1. "Shindig"; 2. "The Message"; and 3. "War Stories"), and trying to figure out all the actors on Firefly who cross-pollinated 24 (and vice versa).
Joss Whedon, the Oscar®- and Emmy-nominated writer/director responsible for the
worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER, ANGEL and FIREFLY,
now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts
500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The
film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing
side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small
crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small,
eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family–squabbling,
insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
Mine are 1. Ariel, 2. War Stories, and 3. Objects in Space.

Objects in Space is brilliant... would be #4 for me, and Ariel would probably be right after that. But they are all standing up well to repeated viewing.
