serenity now

June 23, 2006 at 5:38 pm | In Events, TV, Movie Theaters, Movies, Tampa Bay Area |

On Saturday, June 24, the movie Serenity is playing at the Tampa Pitcher Show at 1:30 p.m. Tickets are $10.50 and all profits are going to the charity Equality Now, an organization dedicated to fighting for women’s rights around the world.

Serenity, created by Joss Whedon (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), is based on the short-lived but much-beloved TV series Firefly. The charity screenings are part of a worldwide fan campaign planned for the weekend of June 23, Joss Whedon’s birthday.

  1. You rock.

    I love Firefly and Serenity and have been looking for a way to celebrate Joss day.

    Should be a mighty fine shindig.

  2. Curious why the screening is THIS weekend and not some other time? The answer is . . . 42
    No, I haven’t got Douglas Adams “Hitchhiker’s Guide” series confused with “Firefly” – it’s Joss Whedon’s 42nd birthday!
    More at www.squidoo.com/sidebarsquare/ including pic of a relic from the very day he was born.
    Also, a video clip of Joss Whedon speaking is at www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYaczoJMRhs Other Joss Whedon clips, Serenity trailers, etc are linked up on that youtube page.

  3. Tyler — thanks! I wish I could have gone, but I had to work.

    Starry Night — thanks for the links. I look forward to checking them out. I’d watch Joss paint his house — the man is brilliant!
