behold Erin's mad Photoshop skills!
Serenity, the little sci-fi series/film that could, is now
available for pre-order on Amazon.com. The fans, who never miss an opportunity to be excited, are passing around a
petition urging Universal Studios to change the artwork. And it would appear writer/director
Joss Whedon agrees.
I don't personally find the artwork bad at all, with the single exception that I don't think the woman in the top left at any point appears in the film. Is that supposed to be River? You judge.
And for those of you saying, "Erin, who gives a flying fig!" I suggest you compare
this, to the
US and
Australian film posters. And taste the difference!

Factor 8: The Arkansas Prison Blood Scandal premieres at AFI film festival next week. The doc allegedly unearths new evidence showing that Arkansas officials and the Canadian Red Cross knowingly infected tens of thousands of Canadian and European citizens with AIDs.
The film reveals how for more than two decades, the Arkansas prison system profited from selling blood plasma from inmates infected with viral hepatitis and AIDS. Thousands of unwitting victims who received transfusions of a product called "Factor 8" made from this blood died as a result.
Duda interviews victims in Canada who contracted the diseases, state prison officials, former employees, high-ranking Arkansas politicians, and inmate donors.
"In the early days of AIDS, we at the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) were surprised that the hemophiliac community was infected so rapidly," said Dr. Donald Francis, former head of the AID Laboratory for the CDC. "This shocking documentary tells why."
According to a forthcoming documentary by the BBC the White Stripes make up 7% of
John Peel's favorite songs. Come to think of it, I think I too played that Hello Operator/Jolene 7" until a hole was worn right through it.
