I held the future up to a looking-glass;
it bears a striking resemblance to embers of the past.

Serenity!

butterfly: (Can't Stop -- Wash)

Serenity was, of course, brilliant. I won something at the raffle, too! A beaded bracelet and necklace. They will go perfectly with the shirt that I was already planning to wear to Club Vivid. Yay! Plus, I got swag from making additional donations, plus I bought a chalkboard mug (and chalk to go with it). And they showed JW's Equality Now speech before the movie. His 'strong women characters' speech that makes me cry (always, whenever he gets to the bit about equality being like gravity, being necessary to stand on this earth as men and women).

The movie made me cry five times (each time, I cry more and laugh more and just adore it more -- how does he do that?). Also, Simon and River are so Dean and Sam that it broke my heart. Oh, this makes me love both sib sets even more than I did before!

There was so much cheering and general wonderful-ness in the audience. I'm really hoping that this is a permanent yearly event, because it's so much fun.

And, now, I will go watch The Sound of the Drums.

Possibly part of a series. Still undecided about that at this particular moment.

Story Title: Keeping Her in the Air

Mal wasn't surprised to see River... (spoilers for Serenity) )

So, I've seen Serenity three times now. Each time, I've liked it better (and I liked it a good deal the first time 'round). It really is a movie that rewards repeat viewing. Spoilers for Serenity, the movie )

Yeah, I really want to see the movie again.

Many thanks to the people on my flist who had timeline thoughts. I'm leaning on the side of Joss not having the best math in the 'verse, as is common with writers. Though repeated viewings of everything in order may help me on figuring things.

Ah, and for those people on my flist who haven't or can't see the movie yet, I'm putting all of my post-movie posts in a special Post-Serenity Firefly Stuff memory section.

Spoilers for Serenity (I love this movie, so much) )

butterfly: (Unpredictable -- River)

Side note: one of the things that I see, in pro movie reviews, are 'compare and contrast's that are about saying one thing is better than another. Most recently, several reviews of Serenity are saying 'so much better than the new Star Wars' flicks. This is a mindset that I can somewhat understand, but one that I most emphatically don't share. It seems to be based off of the zero-sum game -- the idea that love and appreciation are finite and that to love one thing diminishes the amount of love that one can hold for another, similar, thing.

Now, I only live in my own head, but for me, love is not a zero-sum game. Love is infinite, and I have found that loving new things only increases my appreciation for the things that I loved already. Ex. loving Star Wars gave me a whole new wave of understanding and love for science fiction in general. I tend to think of this as a good thing. I do understand why reviews would do that, as they assume, perhaps, that one can't see all the movies in the world and want people to prioritize based on their preferences. But this does, I think, explain why I'm not overly fond of movie reviews in the first place.

Main note: So, I have something of a rule. I do my best to appreciate things for what they are, not for what I wish them to be. How successful I am at that is debatable, but I think that it makes me happier as a fan.

Still with the big spoilers for Serenity, and a bit more in-depth now )


I just... I love this movie so much, and I most definitely recommend it. I'm very much looking forward to seeing it again tomorrow.

I have not a thought in my head right now but for Firefly, as Serenity has made everything else blow away.

Short but massive spoilers for Serenity, the movie. Seriously, do not click unless you've seen it. )

ETA: If you saw the movie in previews and wrote about it then, I'd love to know so that I can go see what you said. Because I'm going to go back over today, but there were a lot of previews for this movie, going back quite some time in the past.
