And once again we learn internet buzz != dollars in the pocket. Which we should have learned with Snakes on a Plane, and Serenity, heck there was a whole South Park episode about it.

Wait a minute. You didn't like Serenity? Was there more than one Serenity? Are you talking about the Joss Whedon movie retooled from the Sci-Fi series Firefly? I would have watched that just to see Summer Glau before TSCC.

Science fiction author Orson Scott Card called Serenity "the best science fiction film ever", further stating "If Ender's Game can't be this kind of movie, and this good a movie, then I want it never to be made. I'd rather just watch Serenity again."

Ender's Game coming to US theaters on November 1, 2013.

I liked Serenity just fine, but it made no money. Turned out all those internet browncoats weren’t quite as legion as people thought. It’s a perfectly excellent movie, but all that internet buzz resulted $38 million in total world wide grosses.

My wife loves those made for TV SyFy movies. We weren't able to watch this gem at first airing and when I told her it had bombed in the ratings she announced we will have to watch it and make up our own minds.

Help me.
