Late night blather

Apparently Serenity will be playing this weekend at the superscreen in Hastings. Neat! Then it comes out just before xmas so W00t. And according to Mike they’re thinking about doing some straight to DVD stuff. Not sure how that would go. Doesn’t straight to DVD equal crap? Wonder if Whedon will be involved. I don’t [...]
