is there anyone still here who hasn't seen Serenity yet?
me, but then again I'm spoiled silly and willing to be spoiled-er between now and 4:45
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
At 10:30 pm, I learned there was a midnight showing at a nearby theater. So yay, I got to see it 14 hours sooner than I thought!
I'm still exhausted from the adrenaline rush. God, that was good. That was like having two hours of really great sex.
It isn't perfect, but to be perfect, it would have had to be four or five hours long.

Yeah, is there anyone still here who hasn't seen Serenity yet?
I'm going to Serenity tonight with Nicole, Sailaweigh, and Beverly. None of them have seen it, and only Nicole is a little bit spoiled. My head may explode if we keep talking about the movie .
(Maidengurl is going to, but I don't know if she has seen it or not.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
But they're not here, are they? About to be spoiled by reading that Zoe wears the best dress ever?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, you know the idea that the "can't stop the signal" is a big Fuck You to Fox? (I think it's true for the marketing, but dunno if I think it's true for the movie.) Well, the guy who helps them get the signal out is Mr. Universe. And the movie was produced by Universal.
Coincidence? I think probably.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
I've gotten tickets for the 7:45 showing. Taking my whole immediate family (Myself, my wife, our adult child, our surly teenage child, and the 10 year old) and 2 people who I have toastered. And am talking the hell out of it at work, which is one of the highest concentrations of geeks in the Salt Lake Valley.

Joss said it's not true for the movie (Mr. Universe is a device to get the Reavers where he needs them). Me, I totally missed the possibility. It is interesting about the name, though. I wasn't sure if I should be taking anything from that (other than a small snigger, considering Krumholtz's wee-ness).

Fairly spoilery, although it doesn't give away the major HSQ moments.
"Serenity" was clearly written by someone who grew up worshiping at the altar of Han Solo and the space marines in "Aliens," but this genre picture is still a thrillingly original science fiction creation. The writing is as good as in the best "Star Trek" episodes, while offering a thoughtfully bleak vision of the future that brings to mind "Blade Runner." After his decade of solid work as a television and movie writer specializing in sci-fi and fantasy, this could be the accomplishment that puts Whedon's face alongside those of James Cameron, Ridley Scott and Sam Raimi on the geek Mount Rushmore.

Nope. Though Nicole just asked me to spoil her for who dies.

Tell her the other person who dies is Mr. Universe.
