What did you think of Serenity? -- nm - David Apr 30, 12:29 8
- I am not considering that a "mainstream movie" in the sense that Avengers is -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 12:35 7
  - How so? It was a major studio release with a $30 million budget. - David Apr 30, 12:36 6
    - No. And, I just think Serenity is not your typical mainstream movie -- nm - con_carne Apr 30, 12:52
    - It was a Whedon project with Whedon characters following on from a Whedon TV series. Different. - Roger More Apr 30, 12:44 4
      - yup. -- nm - znufrii Apr 30, 12:53
      - This is his movie. When the lights come on, you feel like it. -- nm - Iron Spawn Apr 30, 12:47 2
        
        That's reassuring - but you can see why con_carne would see The Avengers being different from Firefly? -- nm - Roger More Apr 30, 12:49 1
