...well,
Serenity tonight!
After a long, long wait, Serenity, is in theaters. I am excited and will be seeing it tonight with Cyndi (my wife), a couple friends visiting from Norfolk, VA,
Gary and
Rrrob. We are making a whole geeky movie trip out of it. I'm wearing my
Firefly shirt, but Cyndi has put the kabosh on my
Jayne hat.
I have been avoiding everything Serenity related for months now. I haven't read any reviews or seen any previews (
even in the theater). If a preview comes on the channel I'm watching, I've been changing the channel. I am Serenity-pure. I have read comments in various
Slashdot stories, but nothing that talks about the movie itself, other than to say whether they liked it or not (there were a lot of screenings over the past few months of the movie in different states of completeness).
Obviously, I will post about how the movie is afterwards. I expect it will be great, and hope it will be hugely successful. As much as I love playing the "geek ranting about how great this one cancelled show is, and what a tragedy that it was cancelled, and I'm so elite compared to everyone whose never seen it, and boo-hoo, stupid fox, the world will pay for this injustice!" guy, I'd really like to see it do well. Possibly, I want this just for my own selfish reasons, since Universal (I think) has licensed it for up to 3 movies, and if it does well, it could mean a sequel or two.
So, go see it. I predict you won't be disappointed. I've heard that it is great on its own as a movie, and that you don't need to have watched the show to get it.
