Serenity Now Bitches!

Just got back from an advance screening of the upcoming Firefly flick Serenity. So fucking good! Thanks to Scott for snagging tickets for the crew.

The crowd was not the coolest or most attractive. And there was one uberdork who clearly was born in a lab. The flick started at 10pm, so we got there at 7pm to guarantee not getting the seating joust and also brush up on our card skills. I own all bitches at Bullshit. It's because I lie so well, but tell the truth even better. Also I know when people lie to me. Your eyes will always betray you. "Ballad of Jayne" was broken out by kids who did not have tickets. They were soon removed. But one kid managed to snag someone's extra. He was sort of in costume. The gloves were blue. Yes. True. But the sneakers blew it. Nice try bitch, but I need full fucking commitment or I don't want to see it. Get it? Got it? Good.

Once seated, Adam Baldwin came out to greet the crowd. Yep, Winona Ryder's dad from How to Make an American Quilt. He didn't mention the singing, so I assume he was spared that sad display. He made a quick statement and it was on to a filmed intro from Joss. (Adam hung out after to sign posters.) Joss was very funny and sentimental. I tend to think Joss could do an Evening with... like Kevin Smith did and it would be a good watch.

Then the magic happened. I'm not about to drop spoilers about this film. Not even a hint about basic plot. I will say that everyone picked up their parts exactly were they left them. Like no time had passed. Amazing. I loved every moment and I can't wait to see it again in September with all of the final touches added. And I'm asking you to do the same. This was an incredible show that got fucked around by the network and died too soon. But thanks to the effort of the show's creators and actors and fans from around the world, we get to see another tale. And if this does well, we will get to see more. I want to see more. So go see this movie. I guarantee it blows the fuck out of The Fantastic Four, and that movie will make bank. If you want I'll go with you and buy you a soda. A big soda. They have big sodas.
