Whedonesque : Comments on 6992 : Details of the World Premiere of the European Serenity Trailer.

YAY! That's awesome. Edgy? I like that.

mwwhhaaa (cry noise). I'm in France on the 25th/26th June, oh piffle!

Never mind...at least I get to download it, I wonder what they've done to it? I've also made a commitement to go to the cimema once a week all summer, so hopefully I shall get to see it "large" at some point!

bubblecat | June 16, 17:21 CET

I've yet to make it to Comic Con. But I look forward to the next Big Damn Download!

ShelaghC | June 16, 18:34 CET

Wait, there's a Serenity movie? ;)

GrrrAargh | June 16, 18:49 CET

And Ben is Glory.

Willowy | June 16, 19:12 CET

River is made of chocolate!

zeitgeist | June 16, 19:16 CET

Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?

lycoming | June 16, 19:40 CET

This is all sparkly. It's very sparkly.

ShelaghC | June 16, 19:46 CET

wait...did somebody just say that Ben is Glory?

bubblecat | June 16, 19:48 CET

Apparently handing out goodies too :( (Going to be elsewhere). Ho hum can't wait to d/load the new trailer tho'.

Ben is Glory??

The Do That Girl | June 16, 20:10 CET

On the browncoats site it says Adam Baldwin will be there.

eddy | June 16, 20:16 CET

Say, you all didn't happen to do a bunch of drugs, did ya?

Yeah, the kind that make you both gloriously edgy and benignly serene.

And very hungry for chocolate later on.

miranda | June 16, 20:38 CET

Damn this....how come I always miss everything good....I’m always the last to know everything! why didn’t anyone tell me Ben was glory? also they’re giving out goodies? This Sucks! I want the goodies!
but yay for the new edgy trailer!

willowzbitch | June 16, 20:41 CET

New goodies? I wonder what they are? So far I have seen or heard of buttons, key fobs and small small posters. Someone will have to report back. Interested too if the trailer will be different.

So, you are telling us that Ben and Glory are connected?

Lioness | June 16, 20:49 CET

Yes, obviously. But what kind of connection?

Christopher | June 16, 21:54 CET

Oh, this is going to be worth it. ::smack::

lycoming | June 16, 22:32 CET

So....Ben and Glory...are the same person?

I'm also interested in seeing this 'new and improved' trailer.

Madhatter | June 16, 22:36 CET

OK. Where the hell is this conversation going!?

You mean Ben and Glory are working together?

SpikeBad | June 16, 22:40 CET

/pout and ya know... River... chocolate... *puppet cancer* only Miranda (ironic, I think) acknowledged that River is made of Chocolate. You are all very MOO about this :)

And very hungry for chocolate later on.

Wait, what's this about Ben and Glory?

It's like this fog is lifting . . .

Wouldn't it be cool, in a Sam Beckett/Harold Pinter sort of way, if every single Whedonesque member added to the B & G thread . . . cool in my head when I thought of it, anyway. Endless iterations.

Last time, from the top.

SoddingNancyTribe | June 16, 22:47 CET

I'm still not clear...so Ben is Glory...Glory is Ben? Is that what you're trying to tell me?

What do you think will different about this one?

bubblecat | June 16, 22:51 CET

Somebody who goes is going to have to tell us how this teaser is different from the one that has already been released.

Now about this whole Ben and Glory thing...I think we are all very stoned.

newcj | June 16, 22:54 CET

/cheers @ SNT, esp. for the 'Beckett/Pinter sort of way'. *grin*

zeitgeist | June 16, 22:56 CET

zeitgeist – what do you mean ironic? I was bathing in a a river of chocolate. You are spoiling my trip man ;)

Jennifer is going to be pissed when she finds out Ben is Glory. The wedding might be off.

So just checking, Tom is Katie? Brad is Angelina?

miranda | June 16, 22:58 CET

Miranda is a reference to BDM-revealed Firefly/Serenity lore. If you want more than that I need to get the spoiler tag and inviso text (tm) out.

PS-- Tom and Katie may as well be the same person to me. Wait... does that mean... TOM CRUISE IS GLORY!?!?

[ edited by zeitgeist on 2005-06-16 21:02 ]

zeitgeist | June 16, 23:01 CET

So Ben and Glory are connected. If only we knew how.

miss_tress | June 16, 23:04 CET

I hate to be cryptic, but they are connected through... TC... wait?! I've figured it out. Tom Cruise is BEN!!! So... who is Glory?

eta-- I'm afraid that Caroline will cause us all grievous bodily harm for threadjacking so I'm going to be quiet now :)

[ edited by zeitgeist on 2005-06-16 21:14 ]

zeitgeist | June 16, 23:07 CET

Glory is a hell god, but I can find no connection between her and Ben/Tom....

Hang on....is Ben in fact...Glory?

bubblecat | June 16, 23:13 CET

Speaking of trailers, has anyone seen the Serenity trailer before the Batman movie? I'm seeing reports on fff.net and the Serenity Movie Board (and I got an email about it as well) that the release date for the movie on the trailer says 7/29/05.

Simon | June 16, 23:19 CET

Willow's a Demon?

I'll be checking Batman Begins tomorrow, hopefully they'll play it in Brazil too.

[ edited by Numfar PTB on 2005-06-16 21:21 ]

Numfar PTB | June 16, 23:19 CET

I'd heard mention from a couple of friends who saw Batman (I was too tired for the midnight show, yeah, I'm getting old) that a Serenity trailer is attached. Looking forward to the new one and I'll let you know if Serenity trailer-love (er... that sounds just wrong) is attached to Batman on Saturday for sure and if its new or old one and what release date is given. Kinda makes me wanna go see it sooner... Ben is Tom Cruise?

[ edited by zeitgeist on 2005-06-16 21:23 ]

zeitgeist | June 16, 23:20 CET

Well we need to find out what the release date on the trailer actually says. If the movie has been brought forward to July then the internet will be broken in half (ha! take that Millar and Bendis).

Saying that, it would be extremely odd for Universal not to make the announcement first and then put the new date on the trailer.

Simon | June 16, 23:27 CET

I haven't seen it Simon...but I've been seeing the same reports as you. Strikes me as very odd! My initial reaction was that it must have been a mistake...a misreading of the release date, or on the trailer itself. Intriguing though!

*eats chocolate river*

bubblecat | June 16, 23:28 CET

Are you all very stoned?

(Uh, anyway, new trailer. Good.)

Craig Oxbrow | June 16, 23:29 CET

In light of the rumours swirling around after that fellow spoke with the Universal Distribution rep, its a little harder to dismiss it as hopeful speculation.

zeitgeist | June 16, 23:30 CET

Ben! Glory! He's a docter, she's a beast. Two separate entities sharing one body. (Sighs) Like a bloody sitcom.

That's a good idea, SoddingNancyTribe. Kinda' fun sharing our favorite lines in opening. Just a thought.

Anyway, I suspect this trailer will be much like the one we've seen. BTW, was there a trailer in the prescreening? Any different?

Madhatter | June 16, 23:32 CET

Simon: Other July 29 openings- Must Love Dogs, Sky High and Stealth. Tough weekend.

IMMORTAL | June 16, 23:46 CET

Well I'm taking it with a huge pinch of salt at the moment. Huge huge huge pinch of salt. In fact, a boulder of salt.

Simon | June 16, 23:50 CET

Definitely grain of salt, as it may be further wild rumour mongering amongst the masses. Will believe it when I see it, but it still makes me wanna go check out BB sooner than Saturday (as was my plan after missing the midnight).

zeitgeist | June 16, 23:51 CET

Now I almost wish I hadn't gone to see BB on IMAX, the only trailer was for Charlie and the Chocolate Factory which included a 50 foot tall Johhny Depp as Michael Jackson. Terrifying.

Wait a minute...are you saying there's some sort of connection between Ben and Glory?

hobgadling | June 16, 23:58 CET

Let me get this straight: If Ben is Glory, who is Bendis? And how long has he bendis way?

jaynelovesvera | June 17, 00:01 CET

Someone mentioned on one of the boards that the trailer for Stealth was also showed (which comes out 7/29), and the person watching may have just gotten those released dates crossed/mixed up. So far it seems tht only one person has seen this supposed release date, so until more people come forth and verify this, I'm not going to believe it. Hope it's true, though.

...I got it! Glory and Ben are working together!

Okkay | June 17, 00:07 CET

Ben and Glory are working with Brian Michael Bendis?

zeitgeist | June 17, 00:11 CET

So, are you saying that Benjamin Franklin is Glory?

Oh, and the latest on the release date....

Yes, the good news is, it will be coming out July 29th.

The bad news is that the studio has decided they don't like the first reel, so Joss has one weekend to write a new opening and three days to shoot it. But it's okay, because, under pressure from us fans, they have decided to go ahead and play the original opening reel at the end of the movie....

(I'm kidding. Hope that's clear....And can it be true that Ben Affleck is the star of the outstanding John Boorman film "Hope and Glory"?)

bobster | June 17, 00:12 CET

Ben and Glory are working with Brian and Michael and Bendis...they're Harmony's new minions.

You people really do make me smile! :)

So the con is on

Simon, did you just make a 'Hustle' reference! Wow!

Apocalypse | June 17, 00:19 CET

Heh, the thought did cross my mind once I posted the link today. People must have missed my subtle Doctor Who reference in a subject line I posted sometime in the last couple of weeks.

And hey to make this thread actually you know on topic, who is going to the London Con? If I lived nearer, I would.

Simon | June 17, 00:27 CET

Would that be this "fantastic" post, Simon?

So, what you're saying is, Ben and Glory have... some sort of connection?

Galvatron | June 17, 00:35 CET

Consider this completely unofficial at the moment, but I'm hoping the trailer will also air in cinemas with WoTW here. (UIP are releasing WoTW in the UK on July 1st).

Expect it online, also, about the same time I'd say.

Re the 'film being moved forward' thing. That's a fan whos asked a friend who distributes (not promotes) a film, who's spoken to other people yadadadada. See also: chinese whispers. About a month ago some of the scheduling changed with the movie, but as far as I know nobody has suggested it be moved forward in any kind of decision capacity.

And, to be quite frank, the "quoted" person says Serenity could have been as big as Episode 3. Uhm. Right. Okay. That makes me believe them more. Universal might be tempted to go "Oh my god look at all these people turning up at test screenings", but they also have smart people who will say "Yes, that's the core fan base we knew about - remember those meetings about them?".

gossi | June 17, 00:35 CET

Bender the Robot is Glory?

lycoming | June 17, 00:36 CET

Well, i, for one, am very stoned. So, could we take this thing from the top...? And speak slowly, please -- I had a late night. We have Ben, we have Glory, and we have John Bender as played by Judd Nelson. Please proceed...

barest_smidgen | June 17, 00:36 CET

Now did we suspect that there was some sort of connection between Ben and Glory?

SpikeBad | June 17, 00:55 CET

wait, ben and glory have the new trailer?

nakedandarticulate | June 17, 00:55 CET

Judd Nelson is Brian Michael Bendis and he's writing a show about Ben Affleck's life wherein he (ben) is played by Michael Landon's ghost? And the trailer for it features Glory? or is attached to a rerelease of Hope & Glory? not just a rerelease but a remake starring the cast of Futurama? I don't see how this is possible, frankly. We need to bring in Russell T. Davies to sort this mess out right quick. /sigh Eccleston go bye bye :( On the positive side, there is now word that series three has been greenlighted prior to series two actually beginning production (beyond some scriptiness). Fantastic, indeed, Simon :) I should clarify that everything after mention of Russell Davies is reference to the latest Dr Who ongoing.

[ edited by zeitgeist on 2005-06-16 23:12 ]

zeitgeist | June 17, 01:06 CET

wait....Dr Who is Glory? Who's Rose?

bubblecat | June 17, 01:12 CET

I'm pretty sure thats either barest_smidgen or acp or april. See? None of you will be spared the silliness.

zeitgeist | June 17, 01:14 CET

Well you know, ordinary mortals cannot see that Ben is Glory. This may be part of the confusion for any of you that happen to be ordinary mortals.

batmarlowe | June 17, 01:17 CET

Rather than Pinter/Beckett (good references though SNT) this reminds me more and more of Ionesco and the theatre of the absurd: ‘Waiting for Glory’.

No, sorry I have to correct myself: ‘Waiting for the new improved shinier more edgy Glory (who may come early or indeed not turn up at all if she has been cancelled by Fox)’

If ‘versal decided to move the film forward, I am sure Joss would make an announcement on the OB before any trailers with new dates are released – I mean it’s not like he doesn’t know we are waiting.

Only question is who the hell is Ben waiting for?

miranda | June 17, 01:19 CET

Godot?

Willowy | June 17, 01:28 CET

Or maybe Faith... she makes Godot look punctual. Wait.. do we think that Faith is somehow connected to Ben... who is somehow connected to Glory... who is Jennifer Aniston?

Knuckleball | June 17, 01:33 CET

Estragon & Vladimir - obviously! Or...an explaination.

bubblecat | June 17, 01:34 CET

oh, i'm smiling, yay!

it's all shiny here. yay!

my buddy in indy saw batman begins, and says the serenity trailer was 'cool'. i'm trying to convice her to rent the dvds, but she's already on board for seeing the BDM when it is released.

i made a convert. yay!

me stoned? perish the thought.

and who the hell is ben?

leenah | June 17, 01:36 CET

Ben is waiting for Michael Jackson to complete the songs for the big budget remake of Ben, a mostly forgotten horror flick from the early seventies about rats. Word is SMG and Elisabeth Anne Allen have cameos.

jaynelovesvera | June 17, 01:39 CET

‘Waiting for the new improved shinier more edgy Glory (who may come early or indeed not turn up at all if she has been cancelled by Fox)’

She was cancelled but a film was made, and to show it was darker, edgier view was called, "Bound for Glory".

lycoming | June 17, 01:41 CET

Ben & Glory's have a new ice cream flavor: Choco-later.

jaynelovesvera | June 17, 01:48 CET

So, let me see if I got this one right... Ben is a hell god and Glory is what? Or am I wrong here? I'm confused...

Also, YAY! for trailer. :)

bubblecat | June 17, 02:07 CET

In the first episode of the new Dr? Mickey Smith, Rose's boyfriend, got pulled into a dustbin. Or are you referring to daleks as dustbins instead of the oh-so-popular pepperpots?

So what your saying is that Ben is going out with Glory or am I wrong there?

Will is Ben and Grace is Glory?

lone fashionable wolf | June 17, 02:34 CET

oh, I didn't bother to think that you might be serious, now I catch the Beckett ref.

zeitgeist | June 17, 02:35 CET

I have been away from entertainment way too long. Let's see, in this whole thread I think I only know of Pinter, Brecht, Ionesco, Ben Afflect, Gudot, Dr. Who, ( but no one else on the show,) Rozencrantz and Guildenstern, Tom Criuse, Michael Jackson, Faith, Ben and Glory...or I thought I knew who Ben and Glory were until you all started saying Ben is Glory. Now I'm confused.

As SNT asked, who is going to this con? I am curiuos about this new "edgier" trailer.

newcj | June 17, 02:38 CET

Ben is Glory!!! When the hell did that happen?

SpikeBad | June 17, 02:42 CET

So there is a ripper who is not a slayer and kills someone but is just a watcher and doesn't rip anything? I think I understand dimensional rifts better now. They want spikes?

futile | June 17, 02:44 CET

I think people should only be allowed to say "ben is glory" once instead of sitting at the computer and typing it every 5 minutes. *coughspikebadcough*

charisma | June 17, 02:45 CET

oh, I didn't bother to think that you might be serious, now I catch the Beckett ref.

Me, not serious? There was this whole play about people being kept in dustbins....and nothing happened - literally. It was criminal! That Beckett character needs to be whipped I tell you!

On a lighter note...I would have loved to have gone to the Con, but I inadvertently booked my summer holiday to france instead. So, I shall miss out on free posters, buttons, trailer (until I get back), just to eat cheese, drink wine and speak to French people.

I'm sulking by pointlessly remarking on plays about nonsense that go nowhere, with no hope of rectifying my situation and being dumbfounded with suggestion that Ben and Glory (whoever they are) are somehow connected!

SpikeBad | June 17, 04:29 CET

I am going to see Batman Begins on Tuesday so it will be interesting to see if any (let alone a "new") Serenity Trailer is there.

Now, to summarize, Ben is Glory is Tom is Katie is Brad is Angelina is Brian AND Michael AND Bendis is Bender the Robot is John Bender (as played by Judd Nelson) is Godot is Faith is Estragon is Vladimir is Rosencrantz is Guildenstern is Nagg is Nell is Glory is Ben.

Hang on, Ben is Glory - how did that come about?

I knew there was a reason I love Whedonesque. Besides having the latest information, there are a lot of very witty, intelligent people posting here and I have laughter tears to prove it.

I have seen no proof that Ben is Glory, although that was a nice try, catalyst2. Has anyone ever seen them in the same dress? Oh, wait, there was that one time. Never mind.

samatwitch | June 17, 05:21 CET

I'm new, so I may be confused. Are you saying that Ben is Glory and Jubel is Early? If so, are they ALL in the new trailer?

The weed in British Columbia really IS the finest.

Ben is Glory?

Where are the spoiler warnings?

Nebula1400 | June 17, 06:04 CET

I got the best laugh! yay, yay, yay. zeitgeist labeled me with silliness before I even posted! *still giggling*

so..... lemme get this straight.... Ben is Glory, and Glory is Ben. Cooooool.

April | June 17, 06:11 CET

Wait a sec. Ben is Glory and Glory is Ben? Why does that sound so familiar? I can't quite put my figure on it...........................................................................Oh! Now did we suspect that there was some sort of connection between Ben and Glory?

SpikeBad | June 17, 06:22 CET

Wait a second, April - I could have sworn you just said....No, wait, did you really mean to say that.....Ben is Glory and....Glory is Ben? Really? Wow. That would explain quite a lot, actually.

Beckett would have been all over this thread like white on rice. He'd have written a play based on this thread. He'd have premiered said play in a special production for San Quentin prisoners, same as he did for Waiting for Godot. Because really, who else outside the Whedonverse would get the comic futility of this?

Now, back to the topic at hand: someone was saying something about Ben. What was it?

I can't wait to see in what ways this new Serenity trailer is going to be "edgy."

phlebotinin | June 17, 06:26 CET

Yes, a connection between Ben & Glory! Makes sense. Now. Does anyone else suspect that there is a connection between the two?

Christopher | June 17, 06:38 CET

Wait - Ben? At Glory's? So you're saying that all this time he was sub-letting from her?

Lunakitty | June 17, 07:24 CET

OK, on the topic of this supposed July 29th release date... doesn't that screw around with the comic books?

Glory... what? Ben... who? Jerry... where? Phish Food... yum!

Serefina716 | June 17, 08:07 CET

Lunakitty, I think that is exactly what they're saying...Ben and Glory are shacking up and living in sin.

Want to see this trailer. Ben told me he did too. He is sitting right next to me...wait, now he's an older, attractive black man with large hair. Book! Ben is Book!

It could be bunnies?

buffbuff | June 17, 12:32 CET

100+ postings, most of them riffing on the possible relationship between Glory and Ben, the reason why Whedonesque is fantastic !

Us minions of the Almighty Glorificus, Ruler of several places hotter than hell, could tell you some stories about the connection between Glory and Ben, for example that time when Ben was on a really hot date and Glory ..., Wow, but the God strongly discourages gossiping among the faithful, discussing the affairs of Glorificus the Great on the internet is a real no-brainer if you get my drift.

Her slightest wish is our command, all hail Glorificus etc. etc.

jpr | June 17, 13:33 CET

That's it I've had enough of being some hell god's butt monkey. I mean, what sort of name is Glory anyway - get over yourself girlfriend - whatever.

I'm off to worship the Bat that is a Man instead...that sounds like much more fun! Perhaps I may see something shiny before the main event? Who's to say...if all live is meaningless, does it really matter? (oh, hell yes).

Reading through these posts I've being to suspect that there might be some sort of connection between Ben and Glory. Does anyone else...wait, no, that's just silly.

Anyway, I would just like to thank zeitgeist and Glavatron for correctly telling me that I had done something untoward to the thread. I would also like to thank Herb for fixing it whilst I was asleep.

Ben! is GLORY! is BEN! is GLORY! But who is this Joss Whedon?

GrrrAargh | June 17, 18:16 CET

Spikebad, the cheese stands alone.

GrrrAargh | June 17, 18:16 CET

That's it. I'm waking up.

Willowy | June 17, 18:17 CET

But I wear the cheese, it does not wear me.

I never slept. But I've come to realise something important.
Glory in all her magnificants IS in actual fact Ben in drag!?!?!
B-Glory Be!

and they call Joss fans obsessive... or is it Ben and Glory fans? Or is it Maggie and Adam fans? I think there was something in that cheese...

Yes, edgy trailer good.

Glory Ben is an anagram for GEL BY RON, revealing Ron Glass' new Shepherd Book line of haircare products...

What? Ron Glass lives in a trailer?

But, it's also BYRON LEG - clearly a reference to Lord Byron having a clubfoot. Byron, of course, was a renowned poet, and also the model for Polidori's The Vampyre - so clearly this is a subtle reference to the duality of Spike.

Wait, what was I saying?

Man, Whedonesquers rock. This is the first time in half a decade that I've been tempted to dust off my Lit degree rather than use it as a dustpan.

According to a couple posts at the Browncoats forum and fff.net, Universal didn't show on the Saturday. So no trailer or freebies. Apparently there was some sort of problem. The organisers didn't know much about what happened.
