bicyclops, I live in SC. Bought mine online. Going with two friends. I'm quite "squee," can you tell?
Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Mejia rules!
Joe Crow - I had similar thoughts about Earth-That-Was. I guessed New Orleans as the flash point, but Houston might make more sense. Still - wanna know the reason.

If wishes were horses we'd all be eating steak.
Penny Arcade's comic strip today is about "Serenity". The movie is getting much love from the writers of the comic. Here's the link.

That, of course, send me on a time-wasting journey back though the archived strips. I love this one: [link]

I may have to seize the cat.
I heart PA so much. Much of this summer will be spent catching up because I've probably missed about a year of it, now.
I am so psyched about this movie, in a calm way. It's confusing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
One of my all-time favorites is the Max Payne one.

I had never seen PA before, or rather, not the comic strip. I have seen the state, although not all of it. Wow.
Can you tell that the horrible wind we have blew all my sense away this morning?

There were a few things I had missed in my viewings (the crew attacking each other?)
I'm not sure if that's accurate. The guy that Jayne clotheslines does look vaguely like Wash, but is definitely not Alan Tudyk. Not sure if it is Wash's stunt double, and is SUPPOSED to be Wash, but we'll have to wait on that.
Jeff, if you feel like adding EVEN MORE detail to your awesome recap, here's a few:
In that first shot of Simon, wearing the Coat of Big Shiny Shoulder Pads, you can see that he's carrying that sceptre/dagger explodey doodad with the globe and eagle. You can also see in the later shot of the explodey doodad doing it's business that it is clearly Simon (in the same coat) activating it. Can't positively confirm that it's River in the chair in front of him, but there's the right color and length of hair and other cues.
Closeup of the two people driving the vehicle - it's Zoe driving and River in the passenger seat. You can also confirm that in the longer shot with Mal and Jayne firing.
The shot of Kaylee and Simon running from a fire is in the Serenity engine room. You see Kaylee's hammock in the background, and the dark blob in the right foreground is in the right place to be the Serenity engine.
And right after the "Let's be bad guys", the figure doing the diving roll punch is River.
I thought the Krumholtz character says "You don't even know what it is you're carrying."

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
snagged off whedonesque, a post from joss at the serenity site:
The Uni brass just gave me word that certain theater managers who couldn't provide tickets were... how can I put this delicately... THREATENED. Seriously. Which is both touching and, hey, totally uncool. Yes, we need to show our excitement about the film to make the world stand up and listen, but we must use the peaceful, time-honored ways: writing letters and e-mails, working booths and throwing parties, and lining up for months in front of theaters that aren't showing the movie.
Um. The movie will be coming out in wide release in a few months, yes?
Asshats.
