Take A Break From Miers Go See Serenity

All the folks who are all twisted up or kind of gloating over the miers nomination should just take a break and go watch Serenity. And if they've already seen it they should go watch it again.

I certainly will!

If you haven't been told this is a must see movie, well, that just changed. Zombyboy has a fine review here with no spoilers and links to a number of other reviews:

The script is smart and funny and quick-witted, the characters are sharply drawn, and it manages a few emotional tugs along the way (tugs that will be enhanced for fans of the show). From the very beginning, there are surprises and the action moves with impressive intensity. This movie is, almost literally, one that will have the crowd sitting on the edge of the seat, eyes wide, and wondering what’s going to happen next. This is good stuff.

You will enjoy the movie just fine even if you have never heard of its predecessor television series.

One warning: we were in a full theater yesterday and had to sit close to the side. Some of the dialog is very quiet and was hard to hear. Try to sit in the center to assure that you have a good chance to hear everything. This is, by the way, some of the best movie dialog I've heard in years. George Lucas is a pre-schooler in comparison.
