More Serenity
Aug. 23rd, 2005 09:22 pmLook! It's Joss! And he's undercover!
Only this time literally in Serenity's latest piece of the viral marketing campaign. You know, part of me wonders how much of the virus here is simply the clips and how much is Joss knowing that his fans are whores for fanfic. There's enough in the clips that yeah, sure, relates to the movie (nothing spoilery, promise) but also enough that doesn't relate to it at all while still dropping the sort of specific details that fanficcers leap upon with gusto. Also the meta, such as this post right here 8)
1) Hi, Fred, nice to see you a... oh, River. Right. Knew that.
2) You know, when I made my joking post about Joss being undercover I didn't anticipate the guy would take me literally.
2a) Hey look! It's Joss and he's releasing never before seen clips of Angel and Wesley making out in the Hyperion!
3) It's admittedly interesting to see this glimpse of what "normal" River was like. What especially stands out is her view of Simon, especially since we already know his view of her. I also think it's clever that they released the later clip first, because that one jives more with the River that we know, so now we're left wondering how she went from normal girl to murderer.
4) River, Simon might not like it when you do that, but only because he's not actually looking at the girls.
