A friend of mine who is hugely into FIREFLY was disappointed in the
movie.  He says it changed the story-line of the TV series in ways which
bothered him, and he really couldn't figure out how "a galaxy" of
planets were all crammed into the same orbit around the same star (which
looked to be the same size and intensity when viewed from any of those
planets).

I haven't watched FIREFLY and I was put off by the cheesy preview for
SERENITY.  I saw EVERYTHING IS ILLUMINATED last night.  Other recent
viewings:  A SIDEWALK ASTRONOMER and 2046.
