Heh. During the latest viewing I noticed a bit of Hodgeberryosity when Simon was cleaning the blood off River. I guess now that he's undergone reparation therapy, no woman is safe.
Crossposted from Movies, since I thought I was here when posting there:
Viewing #5 of Serenity may be it for me for a week or two. I've seen it enough times in a short enough period that I started to drift off early on, though once the heist got underway the action was moving fast enough to keep me engaged. But during the fight at Inara's I found myself imagining Companion self-defense training with the Operative falling victim to pepper perfume spray, nerve Astroglide, or a high-powered "back massager" with its batteries set on overload
.
Best line this viewing: "At last, we can retire and give up this life of crime."
Mal was right: Fanti is prettier than Mingo.
I noticed for the first time that Kaylee actually stepped on a wounded Jayne on her way to fuss over Simon after the folks on the mule narrowly escaped the Reavers.
I had Simon and River dropping out of frame there before I edited that post. That's just too Hodgeberrytastic.
The hint-o-Hodge in the actual shot was plenty enough.

It was The Pax.
Shut down all the garbage mashers on the detention level! SHUT DOWN ALL THE GARBAGE MASHERS ON THE DETENTION LEVEL! NO! SHUT THEM ALL DOWN!
I have no idea why I needed to say that.
Oh! I know why! 'cause I'm supposed to be writing! Wrong thread. My fault, my fault.

Hmm. Utter eradication of any trace of gayness would explain the Reavers' stylistic choices in fashion and decor...

Because garbage mashers is oddly fun to say?
It's structured to clearly illustrate the two extremes of the world: too much civilization and too much liberty.
Le sigh. You know, even more than the characters
[heresy!]
I miss this about Firefly-the-series. It was just a beautifully designed setting for stories. It was created to foment moral conflicts and valid-but-differing points of view.
There were so many fucking stories to tell.
Ok, this comes under the good news category:
From the forum of cantstopthesignal.co.uk.
Serenity opens #1 in the UK!
#1 new opener!
#1 movie of the weekend!
#1 gross per screen!
The only country to have growth from Friday to Saturday!
Press release and figures to follow shortly. We did good, we did real good.
Ok, so it'll get blown off the top spot next week when Wallace and Grommit opens, but that's still pleasing news.
