I may be missing the release of Serenity in the States by about a fortnight, but at least I have a River icon. It's a tiny consolation.

Help the stupid - what on earth is this Serenity that my entire friends list seems to be talking about today ? Please assume I am very ignorant about popular culture in any answers :)

It's the film of the Firefly TV show.

"But what's Firefly?", I hear you ask.

Firefly was the cowboys-in-space show that Joss Whedon did after Buffy and Angel*. It was really, really good, and as such didn't even make the end of its first season before it was cancelled. Boo!

But hurrah! They've made a film of it, with the same cast, and if it goes well, they'll make two more.

I can lend you the DVDs of the TV show if you want?

(*I'm assuming that even the terminally ignorant-of-pop-culture have heard of Buffy and Angel, but I can provide you with a potted explanation of those too if necessary ;-)

Watch it! You'll be hooked and drawn into the taking-about-Serenity-on-LJ-cult...

But can you kill people with your brain?

[triskellian]

I could if I hit them hard enough with it ;-) Or by using my brain to ask smiorgan to kill them with his swords. Does that count?

[triskellian]

You say that like it's a bad thing?

Noooo, we must spread the word!

Belated thanks for the explication, by the way.

I was aware of Firefly, and had gathered there was a movie from people talking about "the Firefly movie", but hadn't linked it up as the same Serenity that everyone else was talking about.

I wouldn't recommend lending me DVDs. I don't get around to watching them or giving them back, as a rule. I dunno why, I just never think to watch stuff on TV.
