So Where’s MY Serenity Screening???

Serenitythumb_1

I’m very jealous that the publicists for the upcoming movie Serenity (based on the cult sci-fi show Firefly) have invited the guys over at Powerline to have a screening of the movie for themselves and 120 or so of their readers.

I mean, John Hinderaker, who does their review, spends half of the piece talking about the fact that he isn’t a sci-fi fan, doesn’t watch TV, and hasn’t seen a sci-fi movie since Star Wars (the ORIGINAL one).

What pearls before swine! I mean, that’s just fahng-tzong fung-kwong duh jeh.

On the other hand, I’m very pleased to note what this represents. As Hinderaker explains:

These folks have figured out that the major bloggers have audiences that exceed those of most newspaper and magazine movie reviewers, and that we can help generate word of mouth traffic and, better yet, controversy [SOURCE].

Yet another indication of life in the fourth age of human communications.

And I’m not really bitter about not getting a Serenity screening.

After all, they can’t take the sky from me.

PRE-UPDATE: STEVEN D. GREYDANUS’S REVIEW OF SERENITY IS AVAILABLE ONLINE. (And it’s insightful.)

  2. Um. . . . the point of screenings is that you get to see the movie and review it *before* it comes out.
    Too late for that now.

  3. I am so sorry that you didn’t make it to the screening. Even though I think you are already “big time,” the public is always a few months or years behind–don’t worry, you’ll get there.
