As I apparently feel compelled to keep telling you, I am very excited for Serenity. But man, nothing makes me want to dislike this movie more than Joss Whedon fans (professional and amateur alike):
...I still feel some anxiety that "Serenity" will be viewed by audiences unfamiliar with Whedon's work as just another sci-fi-geek enthusiasm.
Stop fooling yourself, honey. It is.
But as a friend told me in response, "Many of my favorite things are ruined by the fans."
Look, I loved Firefly. After discovering that fact on DVD, I decided to give another shot to Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which I always found overbearingly precious. So, I just finished watching the first season on DVD (and yes, I'm sure it gets better; it would have to, to have overcome the back-to-back twofer of horrendousness that was the robot/Internet episode (de rigueur for any mid-90s "spooker") and the ventriloquist's dummy episode). The verdict? It's, well, okay.
There were some episodes I really enjoyed (the finale in particular), some I disliked intensely (the aforementioned ineptitudes), and a vast swath in the middle that inspired nothing more than indifference. I see a lot of promise in the finale, and I'll probably watch the second season eventually to see where it goes. But it was not the high art I had heard about. It was not the stuff to spawn pop philosophy texts. It did not redefine television or take it anywhere it hadn't yet gone. It was, simply, a confectionery trifle that dovetailed nicely with the sensibilities of the postmodern popculturati. Really, it's okay to have "geek enthusiasms." Not everything has to challenge the bounds of the dominant narrative paradigm. Come to terms with that, make peace with it. If you have to, write an article doing so. It's got to be better reading than the ones you keep churning out trying to convince yourselves otherwise.
WILLY WONKA!

Wem soll ich wu"nschen Frohe Ostern?
Allen eigentlich die diesem Forum lesen und schreiben Vielleicht Auch.
Na gut, es gibt ein Paar Vielleicht Ausnahme.
Pelzlose Dauergru"nhinterdenohrenhasen, die schnell Feierabend gemacht haben, weil sie sich selbst ertragen nicht mehr und leben wohl jetzt konnten in der Grube.
Wie immer ... AUCH
Hort auf, das zu Ostern oder den Hunden und Katzen Osterhasenohrenprothesen kommerzialisieren anzukleben.
Geliebte und der Nachbar Hobbyja"ger Schiesser drauf sonst ko"nnte.
