Sure, the latest H3 commercial is amusing, but I prefer the older, not-nearly-aired-enough electro-psychedelic ad.

A high school marching band (please forgive the pop-up) plays the famous Nintendo theme, but it seems that the London Symphony Orchestra (no pop-up this time!) beat them to the punch. UPDATE: An alert Sparkplug reader has pointed out that the orchestral version of the Super Mario Bros. theme was actually performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra and not by those musical Brits. More info here.

Forget teasers and trailers. Why not just show them the first nine minutes of the film and see if they show up to see the rest? I like it.
Be warned that the action gets a bit bloody at the end. And do go see the movie. Some of us really want the Firefly story to keep going.
