The Wellingtonista, it may be revealed, harbours at least two fans of Joss Whedon, creative motivation behind such televisual works of staggering genius as Buffy the Vampire Slayer and, er, Roseanne.

So we are pleased to relay Michael's announcement of a Wellington charity showing of Whedon's film Serenity on Friday the 23rd at 7pm at Reading.

Many, this writer included, missed this fine film owing to its absurdly truncated run in local theatres last year. Now is your chance to see it in its natural environment while at the same time supporting Whedon's favourite charity.
