Olaf the Troll ,'Showtime'
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.
One second it's CGI, and then 2 seconds later it's a bow and arrow, and then it's CGI, and then it's a bow and arrow.
I caught that in my 2nd viewing. I just figured that since she's very much background in the snippet where it isn't CGI they chose not to devote the resources to that. I blame the screening audiences for the fact that any of it (Inara's bow/gun) is CGI. It seems they didn't buy the simple bow & arrow.
During the first screening I saw, Inara just up and disappeared during the fight with the Reavers as far as I could recall. So I didn't realize it was ever just a plain bow and arrow, which is certainly deadly enough so I don't understand why there was a need to change it into some weird sort of bowgun thingy.
I'm actually glad we only had a kerfuffle. (I think it grew a bit past fuff, although it may still be a kuffle, as no one seems mortally wounded.) I was afraid the thread had been taken over by soap talk again. Or was that Minearverse?
ION, Serenity has left Juneau. I now anxiously await the DVD. I think I may be a fan. Perhaps part of a fandom, although no fic or cons.
Both local theatres I frequent are still showing it, though one has dropped down to only two showings a day.
Minearverse is soaps, crafts, feminism, and pictures of dogs.

Can, worms. (I think Jars put it best to me this evening with 'Shut up, Kev', or words to that effect).
The soap talk was Minearverse. It's burnt into my brain.
The DVD has Mal and Inara's almost kiss restored. And the shippers go wild.

Obviously, I am a shipper because I squeeed when reading this.
What makes a shipper? No, wait. I'm kidding.
Did anybody see the DVD changes to SerenityMovie.com yesterday? It was accidentally transformed to a Skeleton Key DVD website, and quickly changed back.
Restored? Or included in the deleted scenes.
Sadly, Serenity has closed in all the indoor theaters in my city, and I really don't want to sit through The Corpse Bride again to see it a sixth time at the drive-in. Though if I can talk Hot Venezualan Guy into a repeat viewing, having an extra 90 minutes to kill in my car beforehand might not be a bad thing...
