Score!
« on: August 30, 2007, 06:51:23 PM »
Happy Birthday to me!  The wife got me a Firefly T-shirt and soundtrack album, and a copy of Serenity.  We haven't seen the movie yet. 

Also, we went to see this guy speak and take questions.

Happy Birthday, Fistful! Cool T-shirt. Let me know how you like Serenity. I re-watched the entire series + movie last weekend. Might do the same this weekend unless I get Heroes.

Children, I am now come to the time of my life when I am weathered one score years, ten years and one.  And now that I have entered upon my dotage, I would like you all to know how exceedingly proud I am of each and every one of you.  Except for you, Riley.  You're a brat.  Tongue

A score is 20, plus 10, plus one.  He's 31.

Damn.  I wish I were 31 again.

Fistful,

You're gonna enjoy the movie a lot. 

A little different feel than the series; it's faster paced and darker in tone.

Ultimately, you'll come away from it grateful for the continuation to the Firefly story line.

And hopeful for a sequel !

As with the Firefly series, I approached the film cautiously, fearing I would be let down by all the hype.  But on first viewing, I liked it.  It will take a second viewing for me to really get a feel for it, though. 

In any case, I am definitely wishing there would be a sequel.   cheesy
