Look, if you're asking me to remember where I saw what...well, this is the Internet. Unpossible.
What? I'm not allowed to hit people? Wesley: Not people capable of genocide. Angel: Those are exactly the types of people I should be allowed to hit!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I thought I remembered seeing that date before, but couldn't remember exactly where either. All I have to say is: Christmas presents!
Although, it's kind of a bummer, as I think it would have done better for Christmas sales if it were released 5-10 days earlier. I've given up trying to figure out marketing, though.

I'm getting the pig!
I was pretty numb after the opening night viewing though, and I feel like I ought to apologize to Lee, Nicole and Sail for not squeeing and bouncing afterward. They were all really nice and didn't slap me, even if I may have needed it, for which I am grateful.
Don't be silly, Bev. I'm rarely able to immediately verbalize my reactions to something like Serenity (it was mostly "What just happened?") but I enjoying hearing others' point of view. Besides, I don't think any of us were exactly bouncy or full of squee.
Still, glad you liked it better on the second viewing.

Hey. New board.
Hee! Did anybody post The Onion's fake review of Serenity, by Jackie Harvey (not the Onion AV Club, mind you. The Onion itself.)

Is this what passes for science fiction?

I went to see the Reese Witherspoon movie I was talking about last time, but I tore my pants on my doorframe on the way out. By the time I had changed pants, I would have missed the previews, so I decided to play Jackie's Movie Roulette and see whatever movie was playing next when I got to the theater. Sometimes it's a bust, but sometimes, you're pleasantly surprised and you get a Something About Polly. That movie made me want to buy a ferret for months.
This time, I wasn't so lucky. I went to see a movie that, like Dukes of Hazard was based on a TV show. The movie was called Serenity. Now, I've never seen the original Serenity series. In fact, I had never heard of it, and I write about this stuff, for the love of Pete. It was a space series, which I usually like, but there was something that bothered me about it.
After about an hour into it, I figured it out. There were no space aliens! Why make it a space movie if you're not going to have any aliens in it? Why not just make it an earth movie? We've all seen aliens in movies before. We know they exist. So why not show them? I guess the cast was really good, but they would have really been better if they had a space alien to play off of. (two stars)

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
D.,
I don't get it. Is this humor?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Item! Polter-Cow thought it was funny!

PC, I guess I am a bit slow or lacking in the humor dept. then.

When we kill people it makes the policemen flustered and stern.
It is funny. It's just tongue-in-cheek enough to lick its own ears clean.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
It's funny because it's a parody of a certain style of "hollywood" writer....

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My goodness, those pictures. I was sitting there staring at the last one, going, hmm, kinda Adam Brody-ish, who is it...
OMG, wrong Adam.
