Serenity (again)

I don't get why more people aren't seeing this movie. I heard that there was a low turn out compared to what Universal expected and I don't get it. This was the best movie I've seen all summer, it has action, spaceships, great special effects. I don't get why so many people turned out for the crappy Star Wars episode 3 (no offense to those that enjoyed it) when the dialgue in the movie was stilted, boring, didn't really go anywhere and can I please forget I ever heard the word "Younglings" and yet Serenity isn't getting nearly as many people in the theater to watch it.

It just boggles my mind that so many people seem to be going to bad movies in large numbers but when a good one comes out not a lot of people go. Are people really so shallow that they need a big name actor/actress in the show to convince them to go and watch?

I've already seen the movie three times and I enjoyed it each time and I can't wait to see it again when my husband gets home.

edit: Why is it that Flightplan which has rather crappy ratings had more people go see it this weekend than Serenity? I'm confused. Sure I like Jodi Foster as much as the next person but the movie looked boring, I haven't heard one person say it's worth spending money on. I also can't believe I'm obessessing over boxoffice ticket sells.

Researching dogs

For the last hour I've been researching dog breeds. One of my neighbors in my apartment complex has the cutest dog ever and I figured someday when I get a dog I'd like one about that size and basically that cute. :) she says it's a Shih Tzu (it didn't look like the pictures I found on the net and was bigger than the dimensions I got) so it's possible it's a mix of something.

Anyway, I would love to have a dog that isn't higher than my knees, doesn't bark a lot, and has fur, but doesn't shed a lot. I guess I do want a lap dog to pet while I'm watching TV.

So I'm doing researching because purebreeds are damned expensive and apparently have a lot of health issues.

My conclusion is that I'm going to try finding a dog already 1-2 years old, is already housetrained, and possibly not a purebreed. but it was still a lot of fun to look at the pictures.
