I'd like to chime in and say I've been curious about Allyson's opinion since her @@4EVAH comment a few days ago.

I'll admit, I was kind of hoping this was just about Krumholtz and his fembot.

Rob Zombie and a bunch of his friends, dancing to thrash music.
Okay, this made me laugh. A lot. Especially because, for the past few days, I've been thinking of the Reavers as Rob Zombie.

Sorry to be clueless but what does @@ mean in this context? Or a long string of @'s for that matter?
Also, Allyson didn't like it? I'm shocked, shocked.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

eye-rolls.
Or a long string of @'s for that matter?
A whole bunch of eye-rolling.

"There are two sorts of people in the world: those who believe Joss Whedon is a genius and those who are wrong." - Connie Ogle, Miami Herald
I'd be interested to see if non-fans fall for Wash -- I think he was played pretty well in the movie.
At the screening I saw on Monday, the crowd definitely fell for Wash. I was worried that people weren't getting into it emotionally until that point. When Wash started to repeat "I am a leaf on the wind..." everyone began laughing and that made the death more dramatic because those laughs abruptly stopped and turned into gasps. Further confirmation that the audience was invested in everyone's fate came when Simon was shot and there were more audible reactions. At that point, I knew the audience was really living with these characters.

Or possibly expressing a sentiment of "Not the face!" in the latter instance...

I didn't hate it, but I was disappointed. It was so, so different from the show that for a lot of it I was just re-missing the show. I think I'll enjoy it more the more I watch it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know, if you look at Wash's death as a plot device to get Zoe into that dress, I don't see how it wasn't worth it.

Excellent point. That dress. GT in that dress.
I hope she kept it. It's fucking incredible on her.
