seandcSo, I took myself off to the local cinematorium today - I really need a new umbrella. Cold is quite a bit better than it was (even with wind trying undo the healing), and I'd been planning to take today off anyways - for today was the opening day of Serenity.
Am I about the nerdiest person alive for even half-expecting the studio-ident panels to shorten themselves to 'Versal? The school designs reminded me of something, with the "classes" under the incredible-shade-tents. And was that Earth or Miranda River was looking out over? I've read somewhere that Earth was meant to have blown itself to smithereens, but it could've been a little egg of an idea for a sequel/book.
I won't say who bought the farm yet (although there was definitely rural-land-acquisition going on), but it's sudden, and call me an idealist, but - why? Of course, this can be somewhat blamed on the Stargate writers going through the ranks of not-main-credits characters - for my fandoms I'm just saying "enough already!" There are a couple of scenes where things seem especially hopeless.
The bar scene? Cute cartoons with bigsharppointy teeth? I would've freaked out myself. Or just been going "Yay, Batcave!" (and yes, Mr Universe's rig did make me think "Oracle" ;))
The plan of disguising Serenity as a Reaver ship? Inspiredly nuts! Extra-pissed Mal is fruitier than a nut cake. I thought that earlier the cut-with-a-knife tension between him and Simon was a little start-of-the-series as opposed to later (although last time I watched I was all over the place, and I might just be being a dope anyways), although it might also have been from the whole cooped up together for a year thing.

lizblackdog of the excellent timing:
*looks at people edging away* What? I can't kill anyone with my brain! Or just swallow a bug! I'm jus...
Miranda...
Anyway, I enjoyed it. Thanks to bigger-name films taking up the two big-screens at my cinema (I was too busy being wet to notice which movies they were - probably Cinderalla Man and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory seeing how it's the holidays) we were relegated *dramatic sigh* to one of the smaller-screened rooms. Much narrower room and the armrests don't lift up - but when the film's actually going it doesn't quite seem such a small screen. I'd guess there were about 20-odd people there (mid-morning screening), laughing at the right places (although not sitting in the right places... my row! grrr) ;)
A random thought - they're advertising some reality show "become a princess" or some such on the telly, and there's a line about "being a royal has never been tougher!" I'm just thinking - has anyone checked this with Buckingham Palace? I'm seeing a long letter back from the Queen, outlining many generations of much tougher royal times...

lizblackdog of the excellent timing: | You scored as River Tam. The Fugitive. You are clever and dangerous, which is a nasty combination. The fact you are crazy too just adds to your charm. They did bad things to you, but you know their secrets. They will regret how they made you.

Date: 2005-10-01 05:34 pm (UTC)I haven't paid much attention to the ad, but I'm guessing the prize is a trip to England, measure up against the royals, everyone wow wow, such a good job training, grin, make nice etc, etc - saying "we'll train you up to royal standards, just like Mary Donaldson" (or whatever her name is - the one who married into the Danish royals).
Or, of course, Buttercup from The Princess Bride - although she did have the Ancient Booer taking away from the spectacle such a show would be...
