I just like the idea that feminine now means lush and curvy and ass kicking without sacrificing the looking lovely in a (an admitedly perfectly gorgeous) dress.
Zoe: Is there any way I'm gonna get out of this with honor and dignity? Wash: You're pretty much down to ritual suicide, lambie-toes.

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.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
You're in a really safe space (relatively speaking) when Wash buys it.
It's probably because I've seen the movie several times, but there's one line that I think is foreshadowy. On Miranda, Jayne has his little outburst, "She's right! Everybody's dead! This whole world is dead for no reason!" While he says that line at the left side of the frame, Wash is pretty much dead center and then the camera kind of hangs on him for a sec before he says "Let's go to the beacon." I have the feeling that shot composition was intentional.

I think the second best part of Serenity is how balletic and yet strategic River's fighting is.
The best part is Zoe in that dress. Clearly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I wouldn't be comfortable omitting Simon's back, nor the meatiness of Mal's chest.
It's the completist in me.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
There may have been some squirming at the sight of Mal in hips and bedhead, yes.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
A friend asked me if Jayne ever was shirtless. I told here I didn't think so, but I have no complaints about the very nice skin we did see.
Mmmmmmmm.

Mal was shirtless in the movie? I'd forgotten. Oh well, guess I'll have to watcha few times this weekend to refresh my spotty memory...

I think Mal's hips and bedhead is my third favorite thing. And then Simon's back.
I still think he has a Back Double, yoga be damned.
And now, we've named all of the things I really liked about the movie. Oh, and you can put free below Simon's back.
The list of the things I disliked? Irksomely long.

Don't forget Mal's scars. The scars with the hips and the chest and the bedhead.
