Wheeeeee!
Went down south *heh* to see the folks Thursday and finally, finally got to see Serenity! Wheeeeeeee!!
*bounces around like a freak*
Ooh, it was fun!![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pretties_4u loved it too! And he hates everything.
:)
So lemme put some possibly spoilery comments
We're up to 'The Message' - only two eps to go! *sobs* So i don't know if something monumental happens, but i was a little disappointed that the movie started with Mal and Simon at odds rather than 'crew' like he is right now. That was a bit - grrrrrr.
And not enough Book! Not enough by far. But i did love, so much...
Mal shooting the Allience crash survivor and then telling his crew he'd shoot them too. Absolute conviction, utter desperation. Beautiful.
Loved making Serenity into a reaver-ship for a little bit. Loved River's knowledge that she was crazy - and how terrified it made her. Knowledge, but she could do nothing to *fix* it.
Clever to weave the 'history' of the 'verse into the opening scene. Very clear, nice and short and to the point. I've read a couple reviews that said a non-fan would be 'lost' but - you'd have to be an idiot to be lost.
Everyone looked *fab*. Utterly fab. And i sniffled a bit, here and there. The Reaver armada was too cool - loved it when they burst through the clouds at Mr. Universes' house! Loved the panic and grim determination in the final stand-off with the Reavers - poor Kaylee! But she got a nice bit of spine-straightening when Simon confessed to 'sex'. Heeee!
Loved the little detail of Mal and others putting their weapons in a revolving lock-box and having a key-card, that was fun. All in all - adored! Sniffled! Laughed! Cheered inside! Cat and i were the only ones there - early on a Thursday - but i liked that. I like emptier theatres - it's more fun that way, to me. I really must see it again!
And a note or two on the series - naked Mal! Wheeeeeeeee!! So much fun. I think 'Out of Gas' is my favorite episode so far - i'm a totall sucker for 'how they met' stories. Kaylee! Heee!! Sufer-mechanic with tattoos! Heeeee! The little dead animal that was living in Serenity when Mal bought it! Wash's mustache! Jayne's admission of having to share a bunk with *that* guy and his ever-so-casual shooting in the leg of his ex-partner! All, all good. 'Message' made me sniffle - their friend so lost without a war to fight... The snow planet was beautiful and Book stepping up and telling the Feds what-for... Lovely stuff. Oh! And 'Jaynestown'!! You just *know* the kid that jumped in the way of the bullet joined Jayne and that blonde chick the night before. Heeee!! They were all hanging together in the bar...
*ahem*
Anyway. Must own these!
Now my *other* fangrrrl thing. I stumbled across a fun little snippet of conversation between Jim Butcher - the man who wrote The Dresden Files books - and James Marsters. Scroll down just a bit to the 'Alternate Universe/Whedonverse com report for the funny.
eyezrthewindows posted this, which is info and address to, basically, encourage the people who are turning the Dresden books into a film to consider Mr. Marsters for the lead of Harry Dresden, wizard. Apparently he read the books on tape and was very, very good. *I don't do books on tape - i have a hard time with that.*
*ANY*way - apparently Nicholas Cage is going to be producing that, and there's a little more info on the Butcher site about it, as well. So, yes - it would be *lovely* if Our Favorite Actor *hee* got to play this fun, intense role!
I just got my books back from my brother so i'll be re-reading them soon.
Go! Write! Petition! We can do it!
Oh! And feast your eyes on this beautiful manip bysueworld2003: James Marsters as Harry Dresden! Yes!
*flutters off on brand new wings*
...i need a Firefly/Serenity icon...
