OMIGOSH! If Joss Whedon doesn't find a way to make a sequel to Serenity I will be so bummed. I love all of the characters, and if I don't get to see Mal and Inara FINALLY get it on I will cry!

'Tis I who asked for the link and thanks for that. To hear from the man himself was excellent. I had a crush on Mal, no question, but I wondered if that transfered to Nathan as well. If it did not before it does now. Reading his post about the jerk of a comic book guy (WORST COMIC BOOK STORE EVER!!)has not helped bring my crush back to reality, i'll say that. Now, if you will excuse me, I need to watch the BDM again. Or, at least chapter 8. about 45 min. into the movie, where Mal is woken by Inara's wave. Yum
I also want to say how excellent it is to belong to something where the people are so cool and smart and kind. Another list I'm on for a musician, all they ever do is argue about who got there first. Browncoats are excellent people. Fans, creators and actors alike. Sham on, all!

This lovely little jewel of a movie is full of great performances... Nathan for certain. Nuanced and the ability to do funny and serious. Only the best can pull this off.
But Summer.. what a performance! Do you all remember Russell Crowe in A Beautiful Mind? It won best pic and he got a nomination but did not win. RC is a great actor. But Summer on Firefly and especially in Serenity.. going fromm vulnerable teenager to kick ass killer machine.. the scene with Sean when she comes unglued.. it is a tour de force. If Hollywood gave sci fi a real look, they would see what an amazing work this is. The writing,the directing, the tech work and the acting.. they may not see it.. we do.
Here is MY Oscar nod for this film!

Mal and Inara get it on?
Ai ya! No way. Never. Ever.
Because the next thing would have to be:
And they all lived happily after.
............THE END..............
Which isn't what we want
OR
Someone would have to die...
Which certainly isn't what we want!
To plot it otherwise it would be to create a total shark-jump.
The tension (theirs and ours) is far, far too important to be broken. Only crank it up and down in little increments.

Quote:I thought Nathan was great in the series, but in Serenity, he shows what a brilliant actor he truly is. Just look at his mouth twich a smile as he talks to Sean during the credits, or how he reacts when he's told to "tell that to Inara". Maybe it was the time to nail each take for a theatrical production, or maybe he's simply grown as an actor, but WOW, does he have a future in the Biz if Hollywood sees him for what he is!

I want to see Harrison Ford play his father in movie someday, that would be even cooler than Sean Connery playing Harrison's dad!!!!

Am I the only one who also thinks Adam Baldwin is underrated? His acting was top notch!
I hope Nathan will still have time for Firefly even after he becomes a big name hollywood star.

No. I mentioned Adam (a few posts above).
He makes an otherwise despicable character somewhat likeable. Although, I don't think I'd ever turn my back on Jayne.

I love Adam Baldwin, I have nearly all of his movies . I was a fan of his way before Fifrefly or Serenity. Also I was a fan of Nathans, I watch two guys and a girl every week, and I am not usually into those types of shows.

They're all top notch. Nathan, Summer, Jewel, Adam, Alan, Morena, Gina, Sean, Ron --Every one deserves some sort of award.

You, know, I think you've got something there, Chrisisall. That would be fine to see.
I knew when I saw "Out of Gas" that I was seeing someone with a future... someone to reckon with.
Nathan is awesome in the movie.. when he stands tortured with the weight of his decisions in the door of Inara's shuttle... it took my breath away.
When he tells Inara, if he goes to war, she'll see somethin' new...the menace and power were palpable.
I hope the powers that be give him his opportunity.. he will be the next big actor, if they will allow him the chance.
