I was reading this review (pre-review?) of Serenity, greatly pleased that the reviewer liked the movie.

When I came to the end of this paragraph, I was glad I wasn't drinking anything.

Until it turns dark with themes of deception and survival, Whedon's script is a combination of snappy dialogue, awkward flirting, Eastern mysticism ("This is a good death, there's no shame in this," The Operative tells a scientist after forcing him to fall on a sword) and rhythmic Americana ("There'll be no undue fussin'," Jayne drawls charmingly during a bank robbery).

'Jayne' and 'charming' in the same sentence. I believe it could be a sign of the apocalypse.

As a side note, I have always thought that cowboys and Eastern mysticism went well together.

We won't be able to see the movie until Saturday. And it's in the theatre that I don't like as well, but I'm willing to see it again, when it moves to a nicer one. What I'm really hoping is that it comes to Merrill, and I can see it on the cheap(er) a couple of more times.
