Gus, you can mail me a check, and I'll go see it again.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
t mails tommyrot a check
Wait! Hold on a fracking second! Tommyrot's two-hour rate billable, versus the price of a DVD...
Check the numbers, dude.

What is even happening?
Gus you could mail me a check and dh and I will go see it. Or, you know, you could just pay our mortgage, which might be less than two movie tickets and sitter fees.
Even as a dyed-in-the-wool gonzo Firefly freakzoid, I have not been able to scrape enough time off my calendar to permit a visit to a physical theatre.
Check it, dude. If you cut me, I will bleed brown.
Wait. Your blood is not just as red as mine?
Time to update the list.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Gus! Dude, do you ever have time to check your email? I've missed you. And have worried. Before you leave, check When Come Back, please? And, hi. And do, if at all possible, see Serenity in a theater.
Gus? Still here?

All is well that ends in pizza.
And today if possible. Right now it is looking to be 12th for the weekend.

Damn. I'm trying to fit in a 6th viewing along with Wallace & Gromit and 9 Songs (which I cannot believe is showing in Memphis!), and I just don't think there's enough time in the day. But, I have seen it once in the past week despite a 72 hour work schedule and spending birthday evening with my parents. That counts twice, right?

I'm finally going for my second viewing. My dad wants to go see it. Being the totally anal retentive person that he is, he's worried that not having watched the series will hurt his understanding of the movie. I told him not, but if he wanted to know more about the secondary characters that don't get a lot of screen time, I'd show him that half hour video that someone linked to earlier. Yeesh. Love my dad, but sometimes....
I tried to talk my brother into going too, because he watched a lot of Firefly with me after I got the DVDs. He can't go this weekend, so I hope it stays around so I can go to my third viewing and he can see it on the big screen.

I regret was that there wasn't time for a Badger cameo, with his fine hat.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If the many-worlds theory is true and all possible states of matter exist in some universe, then I want to move into the universe where Firefly returns to series television or some other episodic form.
Join with me. Concentrate. Breathe. Together we will create that universe out of the void of infinite possibility and move our (possibly illusory) consciousnesses into it.
Perhaps I'm a bit drunk. But I'm enjoying it.

On second viewing I enjoyed the movie as much as the first time. Only this time around I started tearing up the first time Wash said, "I am a leaf in the wind." I nearly (but not quite) covered my eyes for the rest of that scene. When everybody laughed at Wash for saying that after Serenity came to rest and then he got speared I just wanted to scream out, "Joss, you bastard!" I didn't, though. I wiped my eyes and watched the rest of the movie. I caught so much more of the foreshadowing this time around, too. It makes me really appreciate Joss' skill as a writer/director.
