Well, being geographically challenged and not having the official DVD available yet (I live in Ireland) I have to hang on a while longer. But one thing I want to look at is ~every~ ~single~ ~One~ of Mr. Univers' screens. I have to see what's on those! The Lovebot wedding footage had me giggling in the cinema.

* SPOILER: According to the Q&A with Joss Whedon and the cast after the premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival, there were at least 20 separate takes of the final make-out scene between Simon and Kaylee in the engine room, with take #20 being the one used in the final cut.


Lol, Sean, you dog you!
Sean: Hmmm, I don't think I quite got that right Joss, lets do it again... Nope, maybe one more time... No, still not quite right.

Lots of things I missed the first time that have already been mentioned. One that I can think of, though is when the crew is getting ready to leave the ship to steal the money. Kaylee is under the hovercraft and you can see her image is blurry and wavy like something is coming out of the bottom of the hovercraft to make it float. Always liked that.

Its all your fault Mal!!! :P



I should've noticed this good point, too. And you'll note, when Mal told Kaylee (at the opening of "Serenity," the film) that she'd told him last week that the catalyzer would hold that long, she responds saying, "That was 6 months ago, cap'n." And, it's well known that the timeline between the end of the TV series & the beginning of the BDM was between 5 & 6 months.

Forgive me if someone else already posted this pointlet

Forgive me, you DUDES!! FORGIVE Me!! "or your friends will think you're stupid, inbred stacks of meat."

HAH!
There is the school-of-thought that holds that your scenario is, essentially, correct but, instead of crediting the line to Sean, it should be credited to Jewel. I mean, how many times have you heard the girls on this forum moon on, endlessly, relentlessly, seemingly neverendingly - I do mean, for hours, days, weeks, even months at a time - without remorse, guilt, shame, a , regret or, apparently, anything else better to do with their time... ( I could go on) (should I?) (oh... I guess I'll stop...) about how physically perfect Sean Maher is as a masculine specimen, eh?

The possibility exists that the man actually 'pitches-for-the-other-team,' as it were and just happens to be a great actor. Of course, I don't know any of these nice people so... these are all speculations for the sake of, umm... speculatin'...

Ooh... ooh(!)... watch the scenario unfold that that IS the case and all the retakes were due to Joss, ie., "Damn it Sean, kiss her aGAIN - but this time get it RIGHT! Pretend she's your boyfriend, dammit!!." Or ... that scenario IS correct & Joss was just torturing Sean by making him redo it over & over, although each take was equally as good as the others.

Kiss her again(!) you DUDES, KISS HER AGAIN(!!!) "or your friends will think you're stupid, inbred stacks of meat."

Semi-sorta on the subject...about the references to catalizers...watching Ariel the other night I noticed something. In the scene where Wash and Kaylee are in the junk yard looking for parts, it looks like Wash picks up one of the infamous catalizers and tosses it at the soon to be med copter.If someone's posted this before, my utmost respect. Still, it's a neat little detail.

"Catalizer's a nothin' part Captain." "'Til you ain't got one, and it appears to be everything." (Out of Gas)

I happen to be one of those gals. His body is just so good. Anyways, I was reading some interview with Joss in it, with Empire(it's in one of the threads here) and he said something that they gave Sean a nickname: Sean "The Bod" Maher. Now why couldn't I be Jewel for about five minutes there.

Jayne: Are you saying River's a witch?
Wash: Yes, Jayne, she's a witch. She's had congress with the Beast.
Jayne: She's in Congress?
Wash: How did your brain even learn human speech? I'm just so curious!
