Back from Serenity charity screening

[butterfly]

Tired but happy. I really love that movie. I love Joss -- much as I really like the shows that I'm into these days, none of them have Joss' bite and power. Rewatching Serenity reminded me of how much I love the people that he creates -- Mal and Wash and River and Simon and Zoe and Kaylee and Inara and Book and Jayne all matter to me on this very personal level. I really feel that I know them and that... yes, we're part of something together, about creating a world and a place that makes a difference.

To me, Mal represents endurance -- that ability to last through pain and loss and come out the other side. Watching the show and the movie, some part of his strength becomes my own, and that's the true power of great art -- the power of inspiration. Joss Whedon is an artist, and a very good one.

Hello -- it's nice to meet you. You have a lovely icon there. I'm afraid that I really have almost too many people on my friends list as it is, so I'm trying not to add anyone new, but it's very nice to meet you.

I`m sory, but It seems to be mistake of you. I had suggested not to become your friend in LG. but in live, in ICQ and e-mail. And if we will understand each other well, you could come to me, to Russia as a guest. We could trying to become friends. If only you want offcause. So..that`s all. Will be waiting to your answer! Have a nice day!

*smiles* I wasn't able to get to a charity screening, but I recently rewatched my Serenity DVD when I was having trouble sleeping and I completely agree with you about Mal and endurance. I also realised how much I *loved* that movie, how much I care about every single character, how they are all so, so real to me.

Joss just really has this talent for creating strong, memorable characters and finding amazing actors to put in the roles. With Firefly, I find it especially remarkable considering how little time they had to make that deep an impact -- after only the episodes that we got, plus the movie, I feel like I can really know these people.

Ah yes, I feel the same. I'm here for your story from the Danie/Jack ficathon but I am a Joss fan in the end. Every once in a while I think about how pathetically happy I would be if Firefly came back to tv (although I haven't hear a thing to support this hope). It would be like winning the lottery. Yes, Joss is god.

*sigh*

Yes, that would be a glorious thing. Joss is such a wonderful creator of worlds and people.
