the Big Damn Movie - refers to Joss Whedon's Serenity, released September 30, 2005 in the US. A continuation of Joss's cancelled show Firefly, it has a relatively small but intensely fanatic fanbase of Browncoats.
The term 'Big Damn Movie' is derived from a line in the fifth episode of Firefly, 'Safe'.

Zoë: Big damn heroes, sir.
Mal: Ain't we just?
