A genuine blogging perk
Lomgtime readers of danieldrezner.com are aware of my fondness for mocking goofy blogging perks. However, Glenn Reynolds posts about a really sweet perk:
Glenn's Excel spreadsheet is pretty hard to read -- better yet, click over to Townhall.com's Blogger Screening page (link via the very shiny Alina Stefanescu) As for why Serenity is worth seeing, click here. [Won't real members of the media giggle that you're at the screening?--ed. As a member of Chicago's media elite, I expet them to respect my authoriti, thank you very much.] UPDATE: The people at Grace Hill Media have been kind enough to e-mail me Serenity's synopsis so I don't have to:

Many thanks! Though Gigolo Kitty's take on Serenity might frighten the sponsors. It was bad enough when he pretended to be Spike..... posted by: Gigolo Kitty on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]I don't know if I'm more excited about seeing the movie, or being considered "Press" for a day. posted by: PaulNoonan on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]I'm *much* more excited about seeing the movie! Can't hardly wait. Consider it punishment. Basically, you're better off hunting the bargain bins for Pluto Nash or Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever. Both are better movies than Serenity. Better writing, acting, special effects, and acting. Yes it's that bad. Our generation's Plan 9 from Outer Space, except not even fun. posted by: Jim Rockford on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]What recent Sci-Fi movies have you liked, Jim? I've seen Serenity twice, and it was excellent even in rough form. I would gladly put it up there with Alien and Empire. And I echo the comment about confirmation. Is there any? Shiny! However, I'm going to hold off and pay full price for my ticket to support Joss and crew. I'm one of the original frustrated tv viewers, so I've been waiting a looooong time for this. Until then....I'll be in my bunk. posted by: Opus on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]Don't pay any attention to Jim. He's a bitter drunk. I'll bet he doesn't like Westerns either. The series was some of the best TV for years. I hope the film will revive the series. It's being shown weekly on the SciFi channel. But even if not, I wouldn't mind seeing more of these movies. posted by: AST on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]I'm signed up! Thanks for the link. I can't wait! posted by: Kevin Baker on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]I was watching the Disney movie last night Atlantis. Jopss Whedon was involved in both in the writing and production of it. doesn any one know if this is where he really made his chops? posted by: Robert M on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]Joss got his start writing for Roseanne, then worked as a script doctor. He wrote the bulk of the first Toy Story. posted by: Steve Brady on 09.22.05 at 01:23 PM [permalink]Post a Comment: |
