'Safe'
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.
I saw it for the second time at a dollar theater, and I still think it's a great movie. The theater was much more packed than I expected. Pretty good crowd.
This was the reaction to Wash's death:
"I am a leaf on the wind."
laughs throughout
Beat.
"Watch how I—"

I almost wanted to laugh, but my heart was beating too rapidly for things to be funny.
It's playing at our second-run theater too.
I'm planning on seeing it again this week -- although I doubt there will be any sort of crowd.
No second-run theaters for us.
Of course, I've already seen it seven times, so I suppose I can wait until the DVD comes out....
Waitaminnit. Where are you, sumi?

Sing it.
I'm in DeKalb -- where are you?
Okay, so that's a little further away than I thought you were. I'm in Chicago.
It disappeared from here quite a while ago and (so far as I know) just reappeared in the second run place.
Is it still playing at the regular theaters in Chicago?
I haven't had time to look, but a couple posts up tommyrot says no.
The sound and rendering in them compares unfavorably to my home rig.
This has been buggin' me and I just figured out why.
Carpool to SF with friends. Late supper, then visit an art gallery together. Watch "Objects in Space" and sip sake there. Attend the first midnight showing of Serenity at the Metreon, which plays to three packed auditoriums. Go home exhausted, well past 3am.
A very pleasant evening out. And for the life of me I can't see how the home theatre experience can compare with it, no matter how perfect the sound system.
