'Safe'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Twice in the theatre, might even have teared up twice. Haters to the left, yo.
I'm with ita ! on this one. Saw it at a preview showing and once again before it finished it's general run. I've made my peace with the Simon retcons. I think Mr. Universe is the only major issue I still have, but I'll deal with it given that it was a movie and not and episode.
A 60's era comedian noted that the skepticism of Shakespeare as author of the plays and poems was based on his humble origins and his lack of a university education. "Now that one third of Americans attend college," the comedian said, "why look at all wonderful plays and poems of the same quality that are just flowing like water". Don't remember the comedian's name, but that was decent snark.
I'll admit it, I thought Serenity was deeply flawed. I mostly enjoyed it, but it was no Firefly.
I watched Firefly. And Serenity was no Firefly. Pretty, exciting, fun, even. But the characters I'd grown to love were all just subtly off--some more than subtly.
I...thought Serenity was an ok adaptation of a TV show I didn't much care for. (You may now stone me as a heretic.)
Heh. That was me, totally. Though I liked some characters MUCH better in the movie than I did in the show, notably Jayne and Kaylee.

So how exactly do Buffistas decide to stone someone for heresy? Do we open Lightbulbs?
What amuses me is that you both went and saw it.

Remember how there were preview screenings? One was in Cincy, and SA was still in college in Kentucky, so we figured we'd go. It wasn't a big fannish thing for me; it was more like, hey, I'm hanging out with SA watching a movie.

Before I had kids, I basically went with DH to everything. I was seeing 3-4 movies a week.
