Did you miss us at Phoenix Comicon? Then you probably missed the big news! Our Phoenix 2010 Can't Stop the Serenity event is shaping up to be a doozy! With the generosity and support of Bookmans Entertainment Exchange and MADCAP Theaters, and with the help of the Arizona Corsairs and the Honorable Society of Phoenix Anachrofuturists, the Arizona Browncoats proudly present a charity double-feature matinee and musical event we're calling Can't Stop the Serenity Space Pirates.
Join us for back-to-back screenings of Serenity, The Ice Pirates, and Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with musical performances by Thunder Stump and Unwoman. It's all happening Sunday, September 19th (Talk Like a Pirate Day!) beginning at noon at MADCAP Theaters in Tempe. Ticket prices and purchase information is coming soon. All proceeds raised by the Arizona Browncoats will go to Equality Now, while the Arizona Corsairs will be donating their proceeds to the Phoenix Children's Hospital. So, mark your calendars and be prepared to get your geek on for this fun-filled day of laughs, camaraderie, and even a few "arrrs" here and there.

I gotta ask, why "The Ice Pirates"? If its because of Pirate day, why not Pirates of the Caribean or some other pirate movie? Was Joss or a firefly cast member involved in it or somthing? Just curious. :)
Why the Ice Pirates...
Give it a shot. I was pretty skeptical myself, but it's pretty darn entertaining. Just think of it as an opening act, something campy to whet your appetite for the genuinely good movie to follow. Thunder Stump is the breadsticks, Dr Horrible is the appetizer, Ice Pirates is the first course, Serenity is the main course, and Unwoman is dessert!
Why The Ice Pirates...
The Ice Pirates is (in the words of manosdvd) "like Serenity if it were made by the guys behind the original Battlestar Galactica and written by Mel Brooks." It was also the choice of the Arizona Corsairs and the filming rights to older movies are often much cheaper than recent Hollywood Box Office hits. It's a bit campy, but it's fun.
