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

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.

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."

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.

If you're near Austin and want tix to the screening, someone has a pair on ebay. For $187!!

That is just taking rabid in the wrong direction.

I think this is just hilarious every time I think of it.

You could buy many tickets for friends at the actual opening for this price. Or, perhaps bribe your way into the premiere (a worthwhile use for the money, IMnotsoHO). Or, if you live closer to LA than me, pop down to cheer outside the premiere, and attend the party that will probably be quite lovely even if Allyson doesn't organize it, and attend the opening with buffistas.

People are silly, and kind of embarrassing.
