Last night was unplanned. I was having dinner at a Thai place in Evanston, looked at the clock, and thought, "I could just walk over to the theater and see Serenity again...."
Jayne: Captain, can you stop her from bein' cheerful, please? Mal: I don't believe there is a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If we're really lucky, they'll do it in that order...
I've seen it twice, and plan on seeing it again at the weekend - got a couple of friends up who fancy seeing it, and I would like to see it again. I'm struggling to think of films that I've seen more than once at the cinema - The Matrix managed two, but the second was more of a tagging along with housemates things, rather than "must see it again".
So, three will probably be a record for me. Which probably says a lot more about me than about the films. ;)

I've seen it once, but it's one of two movies I've seen in a theatre since having the baby. So.
Of course, I saw the other one twice, but in my defense, it was Batman Begins.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I don't remember how many times I saw the original Matrix in the theatres. If I had to guess, I would say five. It was a case where a group of us would be sitting around, trying to decide what to do and it would come out that someone in the group hadn't seen it yet, so we would all jump in the car and head to the next showing.

I've seen it four times. I hope to go one or two more times with friends who haven't seen it yet, but I'm not sure if it will work out. If not, I'm happy with four. I don't go to movies in the theater very often. When I do, they're usually especially good, so I often go more than once. I don't know that I've hit four before, though. I think I saw Batman Begins two or three times.
The spoof was hi-larious, tianxiaode!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I liked this part:
EOWYN [at the entrance to the Paths of the Dead]: You’ll never come out alive!
ARAGORN: Nonsense! You’re only saying that because no one ever has!
[...]
EOWYN: Bye bye, boys!
MERRY: Have fun storming Minas Tirith!
EOWYN [to MERRY]: Think it will work?
MERRY [to EOWYN]: It would take a miracle!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Pssst! Theo! Wrong thread!

The evil is this way?
Of course, even if folks are going to see another movie at a multiplex theater, they could still buy tickets to "Serenity" and then just go into the particular theater that is showing the other film. This would boost the Serenity box office.

True, but if I want to see a movie badly enough to pay first run theater prices, I probably want that movie's creators to get the attendence credit. Just because I adore Joss and Serenity doesn't mean I want to do down Tim Burton or the guy behind Wallace and Gromit.

I saw Fantastic Four on a Batman Begins ticket. And I saw Spiceworld on an Amistad ticket. Nothing out there right now teases me that way.
