It would be nice if he did, b/c now we're going to be calling him on it. lol.
let's ignore that number and subtract the current date of serenity from nathan's actual age to get mal's birth year.

*malcolm scars and the reference to being stabbed in the place where the operative tries to paralyze him at.
-Serenity ep (top right shoulder), War Stories (sternum), Shindig (lower right side of back).
The Shindig thing is off. He says that he damaged that nerve in his first tour, if memory serves. That makes it a war wound. He didn't get paralyzed in Shindig when he's stabbed.

*river's blue jacket.
-is it me or is that inara's? I seen it before, but can't remember where from.
I think that was Kaylee's from the pilot.
Quote:
*mal tosses the operative the red button beacon panel.
-out of gas
I didn't notice that. Good eye.
We shall rule over this land, and we shall call it... This Land.

The only other time I noticed a Blue Sun logo was on Mr Universe's wall 'o screens. It played the Blue Sun commercial (girl smiling, holding can), that we saw a few times in the series.
Seems to me that the Mule drove through a huge neon Blue Sun logo running from the Reavers' first attack...

Ain't this a fun little game. One more reason to see the movie again. Here's another:
Joss posted this on the OB
Post subject: Worst. Movie. Ever.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
was probably "Summer Holiday" with Mickey Rooney. Can you believe that kid was the biggest star in the world? Funny world.
Meanwhile, I'm just rounding out the weekend with a little praise for my dear peeps. Considering everything we've had to overcome, this is an extraordinary achievment. And you guys have been in the front lines. I lurk, I know all. So thanks. Some of you might know that this flick means more than a little to me.
Yes, the second weekend will tell all, as we've always known. I'm not here to push you guys -- you push yourselves way harder than I could anyway. I'm just trying to figure out how to get the message out to the guys that aren't you, that don't know any of you, and that don't run into someone who saw the film. I'll be hounding the extremely patient Uni execs on that very subject. Like the lady said, "People have to know".
It's not that there HAS to be a sequel. It's just that I've got so many IDEAS...

MAL "You only gotta scare him."
JAYNE "Pain is scary..."

WARNING: SPOILERS :)
Interesting Biblical tidbit from the movie:
Select to view spoiler:
Just before the Operative kills Mr. Universe he says "There, it's done, now give me my 30 coin." (or something darn close to that.) I think it's a Biblical reference to Judas's "payoff" for turning Jesus in (30 pieces of silver, IIRC). Interesting note: Judas didn't survive either, although he took his own life. I think Mr. Universe knew he was going to die whether he cooperated or not.
I didn't notice this until my second viewing.
I'll try and think of more.

Ok, here's one big thing I noticed that I might just be making up after the fact, I want your opinions.
It seems that Wash's death really had little point in the scheme of things. Sure, it added that hard twinge of drama for all the fans, but it did nothing in the way of plot or exposition. Here's what I noticed...
When the crew is outdoors on Miranda, just before the scene inside the crashed ship, they're coming to the realization that the whole population just lay down to die. One of the last things said about this is when Jayne says something to the effect of 'they all just died for no good reason'
As he says this, the camera pans to the right and focuses solely on Wash, only wash, and holds for a moment. Hmmm.. foreshadowing, or just my addlepated self finding meaning where ther is none? comments?

Simon had a completely different haircut. So did Mal, actually. Both have longer hair than they did in the series, and both have more modern cuts instead of the distinctly Old West styled cuts they used to have. It looks better and it's honestly more believable. And I want Simon's haircut.
Book had cornrows and a fairly bushy beard, where in the series his hair was pulled back into a bun (the movie is an enourmous improvement here).
Oddly enough, the women looked pretty good in the series, and the movie improvements weren't really as dramatic.

Vera was a tarted up Saiga shotgun (or AK of some sort; hard to tell under the plastic) in the series (usual scifi stuff: tons of plastic glued onto a real gun in order to make no sense at all). In the movie, however, Jayne uses an HK MP5SD with a bunch of crap glued on and an HK MP5K with a bunch of crap cut off (it's the small machine pistol strapped to his chest that he uses to 'authorize' his way into the vault). Aside from Zoe's Mare's Leg carbine and Mal and Jayne's iconic pistols, none of the guns carry over from the series.
And Mal's rifle is really, really, really ugly.

Actually, what he says is "Now give my 30 coin, but I got a newswav for you—" Presumably he was on his way to telling the Operative to go to hell, but didn't quite get there. Paying close attention to the scene gives the distinct impression that he didn't expect to be killed (at least not right there, like that) and wasn't at all happy about betraying Mal and his crew. In that light, the Judas reference comes off more as a defiant insult than anything else.
