Pod person. Lazy.
It was lovely to see you, though!
I just should have gone in to see Transporter II and met you afterward.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

See? Not a total loss.

Well, you'd have had less invested, but it was a much stupider film. I mean, if you're looking for plot or characters or obeisance to the laws of physics. Fun, though.

I can't be trusted! I thought Serenity was fun too.

And, it would seem, Spiceworld.

Never said anything of the sort. Spiceworld was an appalling movie. But I got what I wanted out of it -- the grounds to be able to see that with first hand authority, and I don't regret seeing it for a second.

(I went to the film with a co-worker who'd loaned half the office her DVDs. She was embarrassed by the people in costume.)
So were these people in costume behaving in an obnoxious way? Or just the fact that they were in costume was embarrassing.

"When I look at people that I would like to feel have been a mentor or an inspiring kind of archetype of what I'd love to see my career eventually be mentioned as a footnote for in the same paragraph, it would be, like, Bowie." ~Trent Reznor
I'm betting it's the latter. I took three of my fanspawn to the preview and two of them squirmed like mad at the costuming and the singing of "The Hero of Canton," even though previous conversations/arguments showed they could geek out as much as the next guy. I'd just call it the capacity for contact embarrassment.

Some fans wore costumes to the red carpet thingy.
I found that weird.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
I'm completely cool with costumes in a con setting, but admit I inwardly cringed at that guy who dressed as Spike for PBP 2002.
