unread writer

I've never read a book by my favorite writer.  Joss Whedon created the TV shows Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, and Firefly.  Now, he's created the movie Serenity.  Orson Scott Card (also not bad in the writing department) says Serenity is the best sci fi movie he's seen.  I thought it was incredible, but for me, my Mom's reaction was the most surprising.

My Mom is no breathless sci fi fan. I wasn't sure she would like it at all. She said it reminded her of seeing the original Star Wars.  She doesn't think it was like Star Wars. Instead it was remembering the feeling of not knowing what to expect and finding something new and great in a movie. 

Shai and I didn't get to experience it that way.  We've watched the Firefly series on TV, then the entire series on DVD.  The characters, and the writing were familar to us, but the result was still great.  If you haven't heard of Firefly go see this movie.  If you have, convince someone you wouldn't expect to be a fan to go see it with you.
