Firefly 4: Also, we can kill you with our brains  

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

And commonly served as a dessert in Mexico.

Hey. New board.

We got there an hour before, and had to sit in the front section rather than the stadium section, but not in the front row. That was in Phoenix, the theater wasn't big, and it didn't seem quite as high-energy as some of the other locations have sounded, though, so YMMV.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Just for the record, I am very jealous of all of the Serenity viewers, but most especially Dana and Shrift.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

but most especially Dana and Shrift.

Well, YEAH.

I knew it was stating the obvious, but no one had yet, so I thought I'd grab the chance.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

I'm back from Serenity. I loved it, but I'm not convinced it quite walked the tightrope between what fans know and what the general public needs to know to follow the action. Further discussion belongs in Spoilers, obviously.

Back from Serenity also. I really enjoyed it. Ginger, I think it might reach more people than we suspect. I hope it does.

By the way, Toronto got Sean Maher. Woo! I'll get my photos up from the Toronto Browncoats pre-Shindig tomorrow.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

We got no actors/writers/etc. in Cincy, but we *did* get small goodie bags (ziploc size) of swag -- plastic dinosaurs, along with little printouts of Wash's dinosaur mini-drama ("This land is good...." "Curse your sudden yet inevitable betrayal!" etc.), trading cards with a picture of Joss on them, different Firefly-themed magnets and stickers, and candy with Firefly-themed stickers on them.

The bags of swag were courtesy of the southern Ohio browncoats.

After the movie, we collected official swag in the way of programs and keychains. And since today (well, officially yesterday -- June 23) was not only my birthday but also Joss' birthday, the theater sang Happy Birthday to him, and after the movie there were birthday cards in the lobby to sign.

I (of course) signed it by mentioning that it was my birthday, too, and that seeing Serenity early was a fabulous birthday present.

SA and I hooked up with LingMao, and after the movie we had a quick beer at the Irish pub next door to the theater. All in all a satisfying evening. With swag!
