    Serendipity (2001) is a great movie but it is weird to me that's what Fox is airing this afternoon instead of NASCAR (which is on FS1, where it's been the past few weeks, but still)

    I lived with a guy from Buffalo when I studied abroad whose favorite movies were LOVE ACTUALLY and SERENDIPITY, and he watched one or the other on his computer literally every night before bed. He sucked so fucking bad and I still have never seen either movie all the way through.

    putting aside a good chunk of Julia Roberts ouvre there's also stuff like the John Cusack movie Serendipity. There's a netflix show Dash & Lily that tries to tap into that feeling but the leads are a bit too young.

    In late 2001, my then-wife and I saw a preview of Serendipity, starring John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale. The movie was forgettable, but before it started someone came out to speak. The film, set in New York City, included images of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.

    I’m always concerned that having an unresolved cliffhanger has the opposite impact. It discourages new viewers from trying a show and undermines the case for a movie. A *Firefly* to *Serendipity* outcome is vanishingly rare. And unlike *Farscape*, the production company partner can’t get the IP back and make a limited series or streaming movie to resolve it.
