I'm old school. Like Happy Shopper.

Wheeeee! I just watched it. I can hardly see or hear a thing that's going on, and yet I am still bouncing up and down in my chair with barely contained excitement! Must now rewatch a zillion times and see what I can extract from it!

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

We need Mejia.

I think so. I've started making screencaps of a rough-and-ready kind, but I don't feel confident to transcribe it-- I'm not sure if the poor quality sound is the recording or my computer, but it's not high enough to do much by wasy of transcribing.

Serial: Okay, so I got a bit carried away with screencapping. 111 images of downloaded-and-blown-up Serenity trailer, and doubtless a few gaps to fill. I won't upload them all unless someone's terribly interested, because they take forever to upload, but here are a few highlights (I've left the 'trimmings' on at this stage because the times help me place things in the reel):

Chiwetel Ejiofor, right?

White ball thingy

Simon facing an explosion

Ship!

Mal and I think Zoe

Mal and Zoe again

River

eyes (are the rectangles in the lower right corner a quality issue, or significant?)

Mal

Group shot

Someone kneeling between someone's legs (Inara?)

blurry figure with gun

Wash in the pilot's seat

blue shock wave in a corridor

Zoe on a security screen

Mal looking into a safe

Here's hoping the links work.

Oddity: I can't find where the Reaver image is from. I am expecting it to be in the trailer, right? Also, I'm saying 'right?' too often, which means I'm starting to fear I'm talking to an empty room, and therefore should shut up now.

The Reaver appears, for just a flash, at around the 32/33 second mark. It's so fast that I missed it the first few times too.

I'm intrigued by the shot after that. It appears to be River, and in one frame she's on one side of the screen, and then the next she's the other. Bit like that creep little girl in the Ring ::shudders::

In that shot of possibly Inara, it looks as though there's people in the background, all sat on yoga mats, or something, watching. So maybe she's giving a Companion seminar on good technique or something!

Got him! Thank you.

The shot directly after that is Mal shooting, right? This shot. Then there's a blur with packing cases, then there's River behind struts, then she walks on a bit. Then a little flash of fighting, then Inara talking to CE.

Heh. Could be. "Just a little wider, dear, that's right. It gives your partner some elbow room."

More seriously, I wondered if she was waking someone-- I thought it could be a improvised dorm room or something.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

nods

Looks like Chewitel Ejiofor to me.

Go Team Chewy!

Nobody

I also liked the shot of River clinging to the ceiling. Looks as if we're going to be seeing some really cool River tricks in the movie...

Thank you, Fay. Nice to have a second opinion. :) Go Team Chewy indeed. I'm really looking forward to this.

And yes, Mike, this movie is going to give us some very cool River moments-- perhaps aided by SG's dancing background; there are shots (the clinging shot, for example) that look quite ballet-ish to me, not that I'm an expert.

Um.

Some on-set photos have surfaced. Dabblers who regard costumes as spoilers may want to avoid clicking.
