Last night, at the last minute, I got free passes to Serenity. A month before the rest of the world.


Wow. What a lovely lovely movie. You must go see it. And all your friends. Rent some if you don't have any. See it over and over again.

I won't spoil nothin', since you've got a ways to go before you can see it. But two main characters die, someone has sex (and not just the Reavers), and we find out where SPOILER comes from. Little Summer Glau really grew up.

There's only three things I didn't like, and they're all very minor fanboy issues. 1) The TV show theme song isn't sung in either the start or end credits; there's an instrumental version at the end, which the fans clapped at, but really, I want the song. o/` Take me out, to the black, tell 'em I ain't comin' back. Burn the land and boil the sea, you can't take the sky from me... o/`

2) There's a line at the end delivered by one of the survivors, which is too cheesy for words... It's actually a quote from the show, from "Home", but still cheesy.

3) River's a little too powerful to be plausible, but she's consistent with Firefly.

Again, when it comes out, go see it. And, you know, feel free to spend the next month hating me for having seen what you haven't.

o/` I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me... o/`
