Okay, finally saw the movie, more than a month after being bragged to by John H. about how he got to see it early multiple times.
And, well, I was underwhelmed. The only bits of it I didn't predict well ahead of time were where the film had a rupture and we got a blank screen and odd music for two minutes (unless that was a part of the film) and the lack of the Grr, Arrg guy at the end. And Almanzo was bummed about the lack of sing-along opportunities. (He does a great rendition of Jayne's song.)
Nope, no Gordon Abrams. Extra roomy seats, check. Weird usher who thought I was Russian, check. Previews only for kids' movies and several parents in with very young children, check. (There was also a lot of kids at "Cinderella Man" - but I think they might have just been confused.) Person who kept saying things like, "I don't think this is like Star Wars at all!", check. But SeƱor Grrre Arrgo, sadly absent.
Both times I've seen it I stayed to the end of the credits and when they finished gave my own "Grrr Argh!" to the applause of everyone left in the theatre. I miss the mutant.
Yeah, I waited for him too, but then I realized he wouldn't have been there, because it wasn't a Mutant Enemy Production.
I'm totally jealous that Madrigal gets to hang out with John H., and that John H. gets to hang out with Madrigal.
My secondhand understanding from people who worked with him on the movie was that he never intended to stay on the show long, even if it had continued.
I suspect casting agents love this guy too much for him to stay put on any series for too long.

That's how I feel about Tudyk. I have too much love for him.

I have this jealousy also. Also also, Kate P. lives too far away.
Allyson on Whedonesque. Save Firefly. And puppies.
I saw that! Very cool. I was very confused, because I thought someone had posted it ages ago. Then I realized I'd beta-read it way back when. It's a good story, much like all the others I read.
Hey, Kevin, how'd your documentary turn out?
