I got to see my best friend for the first time in two years, and meet his one year old. I bought him The Firefly box set for his birthday, two days prior. Of the day's annoyances were two minor details, more phone calls than I generally like and my best friend's girlfriend's bestfriend's boyfriend, who was a well meaning fellow though somewhat bothersome... and having to type best friend's girlfriend's bestfriend's boyfriend. A small price to pay for this most excellent day. Low key and I got to make a very obscure Star Wars reference in the sentence before last. Alas, my beloved wife informs me that the hour for cake is upon us. Farewell, and a Happy My Birthday to you all. Droppy

THOLO

This movie has everything the new Star Wars should have had, but didnt. Thats why I like Serenity. I have found a new Sci-Fi Love. Please listen to our internet radio talk "Unnamed Geek" show on Friday Nights @ 8:00pm central.

I've been gone for a while. I don't visit this board often. I'm usually at Whedonesque and Livejournal. I came back to edit my profile and update my blog. I've been having fun with the PDX Browncoats. Been to several shindigs and making a lot of friends. I went to the Kirkland Firefly screenings in September, and went to two advanced screenings in Portland. Then there was a press screening. I had missed Joss' birthday screening since it was also my brother's birthday and we went out for sushi instead. Got my brother into the press screening so he got to see it the first time in all it's finished glory. Serenity has renewed my passion for this 'verse. It added layers of depth to the Firefly mythology, which is something I'd been missing from a 13 episode series. I never thought I'd say this, being a die-hard Buffy fan that I am, but I believe if Firefly had continued it would have became Joss' biggest accomplishment in television. It would have surpassed Buffy and Angel in quality. I still love Buffy and Angel, but Firefly and Serenity seem to be more consistent and thematically fluid than the former. Everything gelled from the start, and the Firefly episodes were perfectly structured and produced to create the right amount of stand-alone and heavy-in-mythology stories and in just the proper order. There are no I Robot You Jane's or I Fall to Pieces' in this first season. And then came Serenity. And it turned everything upside down. This is the best sci-fi movie I've ever seen. It takes these stories and these characters and pushes them to the limit, it challenges our Heroes and shows you what this 'verse is truly made of. I have a new love affair with Firefly now. These characters have changed, and the entire 'verse is different now - because we now know things we didn't before, and because things happened that cannot be undone. I want to see how our Big Damn Heroes deal with the consequences. I want more stories to add even more layers so that I'm endlessly peeling back layers everytime I watch I want that more than Kaylee wants a strawberry. Remember the first rule of flying. :kiss:

The movie is. The fans, the Browncoats, are. The newcomers to the 'Verse are. The reviewers who gave us a good mark are. I am, for converting quite a few now very enthusiastic folks. You all are, for doing the same. And those who did even more besides, with guerilla marketing, podcasts, fan tables and all the rest, definitely are. The cast are, of the Big Damn variety. The crew that made the movie are, for giving it their all. Universal are, for believing in Joss' vision. Joss is without even the tiniest shred of a doubt, for his creativity and perseverance in the face of all that stood against him. We've done the impossible. You know the rest.

In the box office, that is. I've viewed the BDM several times now, and have not only enjoyed the movie, but also the reactions of the different audiences. But for a Sci-Fi action film, SERENITY is lacking a couple of major components which the general , if not true SciFi geeks, audience has been programmed to expect. It has no aliens. It has no super cool 'space' weapons. Now, when it comes to aliens, Reavers are a poor stand in for what the American movie goers have come to expect. That's cause they're not aliens, for starters. They're not even DNA mutated freaks, such as in DOOM. ( Which, btw, how many folks have noticed the trailers for THAT being shown before the BDM. What was Universal THINKING?? The intro for the BDM of 'Earth that was' and the scene from DOOM couldn't be any more similar if they tried! WTF? ) Now, back to the blog.... Also missing for the Pavlov's fans that seem to throw all manner of $$ at movies only because ...*takes deeeep breath* . Also missing are really cool weapons. We have swords, nasty Reaver throwing stars, harpoons,missles, [i]futuristic[/i] bows, and guns. Lots of guns. No Light Sabers, Death Stars, lasers, .... Now, I'm not for a second suggesting that Joss included Aliens or such, but it's just a comment on how simplistic and brainwashed the general public has become when dealing w/ such things in space. I for one think those elements deserve to be left out, and praise Joss for sticking to his all too average guns.

ATILLA

I am a rock stone that does not feel heat or cold, the rush of wind, the fall of water. Yet there are sparkles that draw me out to drift on thoughts that yearn toward joy's pleasure. Sparkles that shine in the deep dark of the black but drown in the wash of powers beyond my control. To be an unfeeling stone, seeing all as one and to deny the sparkle as well as the black, to drift unmoved and alone. Not worth the loss of the sparkle to be an unmoved stone, safe at great cost, shinning sparkle spreading out lighting all that is not stone and ready to be.

PSYCHICRIVER

Okay, well I wanted to post about this viewing because I had high hopes for it and boy did they pay off. It was my 8th time seeing Serenity. And I don't think I could ever get tired of it. I saw it at 2 previews before it came out. On Friday, opening night, I went twice in a row, to my local cineworld. There were about 20 people in there each time. :crap: But hey they all laughed and gasped in all the right places! I wasn't too bothered. Friday isn't a big night for cinema-goers here. Its Tuesday, actually. Tuesday is bargain day. Its when all movies are half price. Thats when they take their most money. So I was looking forward to Tuesday. Anyway I went again on Sunday, and there were a lot more people. More than I'd expect for a Sunday night. (I also saw it Saturday and Monday, but those were at different theatres, in different towns.) So, I went to see it tonight. I was hoping it would be packed. We had been #1 on the weekend, its the busiest night. And hopefully, word of mouth from some people who saw it over the weekend had spread. I got in there and it was packed! More packed than I'd ever seen the cinema! And they all laughed really hard, and a lot! And when they're laughing that much, and everyone else is laughing, you know you're having a damn good time. And the reaction to Wash's death...there was of course the gasps, and the silence, but I heard other things. The lady in front of me went "Oh, no!" and some guy behind me went "What?!" and some other girl was like "NO!". These people loved this film. And these were people of all ages. GO Serenity!
