We drove 30 minutes to Santa Ana to go to a showing of the big damn movie. We got parked and walked in, all dressed up in our browncoats. But as we was coming up to the box office none of the lights was on. The Cinema in Santa Ana is closed tonight due to technical difficulties. I feel like throwing someone out the air lock and watching their eye-balls explode. On a lighter note. Jessica bought Firefly today. She's becoming a browncoat more and more with each passing day.

CHRISPV

Well, the madness of King Chris continues with the third in the newly named "Tales Series." Hey, you come up with a better name for it. I'm tremdously proud of this one. I think that I've gotten Mal down very well here. Definitely better than I did River, but hey, River's hard to nail down. Curses, now I feel compelled to play with River again. But I must persevere! I have six other stories to tell, and only so much time to tell them in! In any case, I will now bow to the shameless self-promotion that I promised in the title by telling all those who find this to go and read "No One to Carry Me-Mal's Tale." Then read the other two stories and wait with baited breath for the remaining six. And please, feel free to inflate your ratings as you see fit.

Yesterday, I spent some time in the chat-room. Not an altogether 'shiny' experience (I can't believe I just said that!). Folks were talking about fanfic (now there's a word I hadn't heard before, being Dutch and all). But, I dunno, I got to talk; and there was this one guy who's in the habit of writing this smutty stuff between Jayne and River. Now see, I don't like that. Not one bit. Now, don't think I'm getting all prudish on you; I'm a man, too; and she's to die for, so beautiful; I get that. But, to me, she'll always be that "creature of extraordinary grace" because of her innocence and frailty. And I care to see that preserved. They should not be messing with River like that (which is never a good idea to begin with, lol). Now, one of these days I will work up enough courage to actually tell these people off. In the meantime, I'm just groggy in my bloggy, so to speak. And I will make it a good point to avoid the dark; after all, 'shiny' is just a place where people bring their own light. Besides, have you seen River's eyes? Those beautiful wide eyes! They are so telling. Nothing smutty, I assure you, is needed for true Love: "The soul that can speak through the eyes can also kiss with a gaze."

The Serenity movie was what got me into the whole Firefly thing. I'd only seen one or two of the episodes previously. The first time I saw the movie, well, it was good enough to send me out to the store in the middle of the day (which is alot more like the middle of the night when you work night-shifts) and pick up the box set. Finally made it through all the episodes and soaked up everything else I could get my hands on. Read that script, saw the River Tam sessions, even went through a couple episodes with the commentaries on. So I'm hooked. That's a given anyways... :P Tonight was my first day off in over a week, so I wasn't really up to do anything special, and I figured I'd take a break from sketching and such. Sitting around at 2:30 in the morning by myself, nothing on the tv. Figured it would be a pretty good time to go and re-watch the movie now that I know what's really going on and such. Sure, there's a couple things that bother a bit now, that hadn't before. Mal's new suspenders kind of bug me. And was Wash doing laundry or something? What happened to those Hawaiian shirts? Sure, there wasn't as many of those little Firefly moments I'd grown to love these past two weeks, and the lighting was a lot different, but... gorramn... First off, I'm not the sort to generally cry at movies. I shed like a tiny little tear at the very end of the LOTR movies (you know, when Sam comes home, sits in his chair, and say "Well, I'm home...), and for some reason Braveheart got me going a bit near the end. I don't know why, but most movies don't really do that to me. I'm a pretty sensitive artsy guy, but there's likely just enough machismo in me or something. (We're coming up on SPOILER city by the way...) But... literally beginning at Wash's "leaf on the wind" scene to the very very last bit of credits (never noticed the Firefly theme at the very end, that didn't help matters) the waterworks were turned to full blast on yours truly. I was getting a little weepy with Wash dying after his greatest moment. And things were starting to get tense at that "Hold. Hold till I get back" part. But... wow... I could barely see straight by the time the doors open in the hallway and Mal is silhouetted and looking at what's left of his crew. River's fight scene with the Reavers? Forget it, just a bunch of shapes but the emotion got through to me plenty. By the time I got to the funeral scene, I was bawling. Seriously, bawling. Like a baby. Sitting alone in my room in the dark at like four in the am just weeping uncontrollably. We're talking call the weather hotline 'cause a torrential rain is on the way. I'd start to get ahold of myself, and then they'd zoom in on the hologram of Wash turning around and grinning... Don't even get me started on Mal's speech to River at the very very end. I'm choking back the waterworks and trying to say the lines along with him between heaving sobs. The credits are rolling and I'm just sitting there like a two-year-old who just dropped his first ice cream cone in the dirt. Not a pretty sight. I'm not even going anywhere with this. I'm not going spiel on about how someone, somewhere in world of television executives better wise-up and draw out a rock-solid contract for Whedon to do another five years of Firefly. I won't gush and gush about the characters and how good the acting is, and how well-written the show is, or even how adorable Kaylee is. I got a little emotional the first time I saw the movie. Seeing it the second time around, after seeing the episodes and having a firm background in the story, that was an entirely new experience for me. Bawling. Like a baby. If this is what obsession is like, frelling sign me up...

Well, the 78th Annual Oscar (tm) Nominations were announced this morning, and much to my shock and horror,

Well, I think I'll start blogging today. Tried a few times, mostly failed on those accounts. I'm hoping that the Firefly Ball that I'm planning goes off well enough. I've had the room booked for a while now, and had info about it circulating for months. It's kinda scary when your trying to put something together with spit, love and caution. I want it to succeed, but I'm terribly affraid that the only people to show will be the ones that helped me organized it. Honestly, that would be fine if it weren't for the fact that we've received an endorsement from the Asian American Student Association so that we don't have to pay $400 plus dollars just for the room. On the plus side, I think the ball will be beautiful. I still need to get myself an outfit made, and only about a month left. It's a short month, at that. March 4th will be screaming up on me right fast, I can feel it breathing heavy already.

*COUNTDOWN TO SERENITY DVD RELEASE: 28 DAYS* So now I'm back at work :disappointed:, after a joyous nine-day break in which I began writing and submitting my first fan-fic, and suddenly I'm having to juggle again - work deadlines vs New Prospects. Luckily I'm managing to fit some work in around the writing (:wink:), so it's all good, but progress has slowed somewhat. Talking to my buddy TH, and we started throwing some ideas around for follow-up fics, this time within the Firefly series canon. All the while I'm writing New Prospects, I find myself wanting to add some nifty Wash and Book dialogue, and I can't, waaah! So, coming soon to a Blue Sun Room near you... 'THE BATHGATE MURDERS, PART I'! :biggrin:

Working on Vids again. After the crash yesterday, I did not feel like going back to the Wash video, but turned to a general "Why I love Firefly" kind of vid instead. This time I had the scenes I wanted to use in my mind and already written a kind of preliminary storyboard before starting to look for music. And then I found an Argentinian tango which fits the scenes perfectly. I am really looking forward to this one. I will also use dialog bits from the scenes. I was never able to do that, because my video software was did to recognize the sound when I captured from DVD. I now found an audio extraction software, that allows you to capture the complete audio track from the DVD, chapter by chapter. Even if you are not vidding, this is neat. You can burn the resulting mp3s on a CD and then you have a kind of Firefly audio book, you can listen to while in the car or whereever on an mp3 player. Unfortunately, the audio extraction is rather slow (about 1 h per DVD). So it takes some time to capture all eps. Farscape, the Peacekeeper Wars, was on German TV today (first time, afaik, at least for free TV). I know the Farscape community (including myself) was very upset when we did not get a 5th season, but the mini series was a good compromise and really brings the series to a good ending. It is okay to let something go after that. (Even though I did cry when watching Peacekeeper Wars for the first time). But Firefly? The story is just beginning! There just has to be more to come, surely. I ordered the comic book at Amazon Germany today. They said, it will not be available till March, though. Well, maybe they will surprise me again. (The DVD set was here in less than two days, even though Amazon said they needed about 2 weeks for delivery).

Hey all Well, the nominations for this years Oscars came out this morning, and to no one's surprise, SERENITY was completely shut out. But upon looking closer at the list, one can see a connection to SERENITY that almost makes up for the shut out. Joss Whedon may have written and directed the movie. But the producer of the film (basically the guy that brought everyone that made SERENITY the movie it is together in one place) is Barry Mendel. Even though he's not as well known as say Jerry Bruckheimer, Joel Silver or Scott Rudin, he's produced some high quality (RUSHMORE, THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS) and big grossing (THE SIXTH SENSE, UNBREAKABLE) films. And this morning, along with Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, he got nominated for the Best Picture Oscar for co-producing MUNICH, another really powerful and great film. So while it may not be SERENITY officially, it is a sort of nomination by default. So if there's one flick to cheer for at the Oscars, it's MUNICH, although I have to admit that I wouldn't mind seeing BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN win 8 for 8. I dunno. Maybe if Joss had Jayne or Mal sodomize Simon, maybe it would increase the films chances for Best Picture. Wouldn have at least brought more publicity.
