"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

shrift, I feel so close to you right now.

It's the Earth! It's right there, being closer to us. Just ask Tim.

Cause I'm not sure I've ever seen you in anything that wasn't (a) jeans or (b) leather pants.

How can you trump jeans and leather?

I will post pictures when I have them, if only for the novelty factor. Bed now. Must be at hairdresser early tomorrow morning.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

And Sinapore pulls out of Serenity, going for a direct to DVD release instead. I wonder if they'll get the official DVD out before the pirate DVD is out there?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I am one with Singapore.

And! Free canings!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Another said he had been a sushi chef -- I could marry him, maybe.

Too perfect

The evil is this way?

Saw Serenity again last night, with one of my sisters. She did not watch "Firefly" or "Buffy" or "Angel." She liked most of the movie. Laughed out loud a lot. But the scenes with the Reavers freaked her out and she would not go see the film again. (She regularly sees movies she likes mulitple times.)

This sister sees a lot of movies and had seen the "Serenity" previews several times. She was not interested in seeing the movie after seeing the previews and only went because I suggested it. After she saw "Serenity" she thought the movie was not well-marketed. She said that fans of the show were already going to see the movie and needed very little prompting. It was folks who never saw the series or any of Joss' work who needed to be told why they should want to go.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

After she saw "Serenity" she thought the movie was not well-marketed.

When I told friends I had seen and enjoyed Serenity, I, without fail, got a "Really?" or some variation on "Really?" . It has a B-movie sheen and the telly ads didn't work to dispel that.

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.

Oh, addendum to my post last night, after the movie my friend did take a moment to mention how positively smoking she thought Gina Torres was in The Dress.

As for the earlier references to wanting more Dark!Mal, a world of no. I think he was plenty dark in the final cut of Serenity, and I had plenty of love for the character to excuse his behavior. Had they gone any darker, I would have hated him. I can't imagine how people going in cold would have reacted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Kalshane, you're probably right about DarkerMal. I wouldn't want him to be any more tortured or cruel than he is.

Some of the scenes I've read in the script that were not in the movie, I think the movie's better without, and the DarkerMal stuff is undoubtedly in that category.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

There's a meme on LJ right now. Oh like you were surprised. Anyhow, it's "Which Peanuts character are you?"

One of the possible answers is Marcie. Sir.

OMG! It all makes sense, now. Zoe is totally Marcie!

If I only had a brain...

ita, why don't you count as a fighter? Because you've totally got professional counted. Just the not-killing-your-coworkers thing proves that beyond debate.
