Hmm I think I might be quilty of comparing Serenity to other movies myself. The only fannish backlash I've heard or seen was for the online reviewers. Apparently there were some nasty emails sent to the reviewers, who actually liked the movie. Puzzled by this.
I don't know why people are comparing Joss's works to BSG...they are completely different shows. Oh well I enjoy Joss's works and BSG myself.
I think the only reason I felt negative towards Star Wars (the new trilogy) is because I really loved the first trilogy and high hopes for the new trilogy, and each new movie dissapointed me (though after the Phantom Menace, my expectations did go down a lot)
I know you're a fan of the last movie and I know a lot of other new trilogy fans, so I'm not going to say anything more beyond that.
But you do have a point when you say that the best way to get people to watch the show isn't necessarily to compare it to a show you don't like, because there's a good chance the person might have liked the show you just put down.
I went back and read my movie squeeing and realized I do sometimes put down movies I didn't like when I'm talking about a movie I enjoy. Never really thought about it before your post. This is something I'm going to try changing. Of course the first step is awareness.
