Firefly Fans!

[seldear]

Today, Sydney's Daily Telegraph newspaper (one of the two biggie papers in a city of 3.5 - 4 million) featured a review, an article, and a Big Damn Picture of Mal and River in their 'movie viewing' guide.

I took scans. Because I'm not excited about this. Not. At. All. Nosirree!

SERENITY II!
I haven't even seen Serenity yet!

Anyway, scans are here: (no big spoilers if you've seen the series)

Review of the movie.
Article on Joss and Firefly, headed: "How TV Took My Lunch Money.
Big Damn Picture of Mal. (River's on the Article side)

Should be big enough to read adequately if you got your glasses on!

I don't know if there's a site dedicated to 'Serenity' spottings, but if there is, someone let the relevant peeps know. Serenity's got copy! Good copy!

AND it's a long weekend here in Oz. So what are people going to do on the weekend?

Excited? Whatever gave you the idea that I'm excited?

ETA: And, for the broadsheet snobs (*cough*chiroho*cough*):
Sydney Morning Herald newspaper: Serenity review. So ner!

Those are fantastic. What a great review. It makes me feel so much better that so many people who'd never seen the series are liking the movie so much.

Fantastic. Thanks for scanning those.

Your icon has reminded that I need iconage.

*goes hunting for images and iconage*

It's a nice review, but it's the Telegraph. I mean, sheesh. If the Herald says something nice, then I'll think about paying attention.

LOL. Well, I didn't see the SMH. But we can go look.

*wanders off to smh.com.au*

Well it doesn't give it a rating per se, but the review is a good one.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

And I've included the link. :) But it doesn't have the pictures, alas...

[chiroho.livejournal.com]

Nope. No picspam.

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

But the picspam was pretty.

And, for the broadsheet snobs (*cough*chiroho*cough*)

Ha! I'm proud of the fact that, apart from local rags like the Manly Daily, I've never read a newspaper that wasn't a broadsheet.

8^D

Yeah, it's been getting great press all around, from what I've seen. Oh, but I did chuckle a bit to see that the reviewer spelled it "Reapers" rather than "Reavers". ;)

Is it Friday (for me) yet? ;)

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

You know, that was probably the copy editor figuring the reviewer made a typo...

Friday here. I was thinking about dragging my sister to see it...except I have afternoon training for a job on Monday...

*sads* I had passes to go the advance screening last night. I went. Turned out that half the city had passes too. I didn't get in.

*hates on the New Times for handing out passes to people who don't. love. Joss. and aren't from fandom.*

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

That sucks! And you'd have been all excited about it too!

Did they offer to refund/reschedule you for free?

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

So have you been to see it yet? Or have you been too busy not getting any sleep?

Stay unspoiled!!!

[seldearslj.livejournal.com]

Am most definitely staying unspoiled.

I know what I know from the general gossip about the movie (that it's good) and what gets picked up from the trailers (that it rocks).

Have pimped it to my nearest and dearest and am now stretching further apace. :)

Okay, well, in NSW it is. Don't you guys have the October long weekend?
