CLJOHNSTON108,

That makes two possible nods to Firefly/Serenity.
A possible nod to Firefly/Serenity in Waitress?

Serenity: Mal says "This is what I do".

In Waitress Doctor says something like "I'm going to go deliver a baby. That's what I do." NCBROWNCOAT thanks for the quote.

Bad husband called "Early" sometimes. CLJOHNSTON108 posted about this.

Also, they ran the Hairspray trailer, and even though I recognized Zac Efron (Young Simon), I leaned over and whispered to my stepmom, "I will not be accompanying you to that one."
She whispered back, "Well, it was a very good Broadway show."

Speaking of which, did anybody ever see Morena's movie, Way Off Broadway?
Loved the trailer, so I've been looking for the DVD.

I wanted to go back and see Waitress again yesterday. This time I took my husband and he loved it too. So it's not just a movie for women.
In fact, we had a very interesting discussion afterward on the themes within the film. It was great to hear his point of view, as a man, on spousal abuse, infidelity and just trying to be happy in life.

I just saw it with a friend this afternoon, and we both loved it. I loved the pies she invented in her head. Also, Captain was marvelous, as always.

My friend had never seen Firefly, but when I told him Nathan Fillion was in it, and I got him to watch the first episode. Now he wants to go buy the series DVD set. Yay for more sales!

Thats awesome! Way to go Shimi!!

So, I don't know if anyone else knows this because it hasn't been mentioned anywhere in the thread, although I have a feeling everyone does and just isn't talking about it. Anyway, I just found out so I'll share because there is likely someone in my shoes. The writer/director of the film was Adrienne Shelly (she also played Dawn in the film, the dorky waitress who married the poem guy) and she died last november while working on the movie. According to imdb, she was found by her husband hanging in their apartment in NYC and it was assumed a suicide until a construction worker confessed to killing her a week or so later. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was in the dark on this one.

I got to see Waitress last night (my first time in a real movie theatre in over a year). It wasn't a perfect film, by any means, but it was funny and serious and sweet, and I found myself thinking about the nature of marriage and how people can change, and wondering about the backstories of all the characters and how they got into the situation we saw them in, late into the night.

Oh, and of course I loved every minute Nathan was on the screen :)

And, on a more serious note, I found myself raging at Adrienne Shelly's murderer, that a human being of so much less worth (I believe he killed her because she had given him a hard time about the construction noise -- the fact he would kill over such a thing tells me he isn't much of a man) could end a person with so much to say and such a thought-provoking way of saying it.

I just saw it as well, very well done indeed. I was happy that it wasn't as romantic as I thought it was going to be. So if anybody has reservations about seeing it because of the romance factor, don't worry there is not much there in my opinion.
