I have a scifi evening...

[dangermousie]

Mr. Mousie and I had a scifi night tonight. First we (re)watched Serenity for the umpteenth time - God, how I love this movie! The only downside is that watching it makes me so blindingly angry that 15 eps and a movie is all we got and instead we got the patheticness of Dollhouse (Dollhouse renewed, even, when Firefly wasn't. UGH).

Every time I watch it, I also remember going to a midnight screening with a very enthusiastic audience. They reacted throughout but the thing that sticks in my memory the most is the whole theater literally gasping when Simon went down. I remember watching that movie for the first time and thinking Joss was going to kill them all. I know how Wash-lovers felt because at that point I thought if Joss killed Simon, I was going to burn my DVDs. :)

Anyway, the movie is just as awesome as ever, and I must do a rewatch of the show, it's been a couple of years. Interestingly, my favorite characters stayed the same - Mal, then Simon, then Kaylee, then Jayne, then Zoe, then Inara, then Wash, then Book, then River.

Anyhoo, since I posted ton of Mal/Inara stuff every other time I blabbed about Firefly/Serenity (I shipped the two so hard I even wrote fic) this time I bring you a Kaylee/Simon vid instead. The two of them are just such caring unselfish people I am glad they got a happy ending. Or a happy beginning hopefully, which is even better :)

And then we rewatched Galaxy Quest, one of my fave movies as well. Myself and fire_snake saw it in a theater with a geeky audience when it first came out and everyone (us included) laughed so hard I thought someone was going to rupture something.

ETA: I lied. I can't have a Firefly post without mentioning Mal/Inara. One of few fannish things I love more than a good ship is an 80s pop song. So a ship vid set to an 80s song? Score!

I didn't 'get' Mal/Inara until the movie, I liked what their relationship brought to the show but my shipping was for Kaylee/Simon and Wash/Me. Maybe watching the whole series in one weekend had something to do with it. But OMG after the movie a shipper was born and I had to go back and re-watch the series (such a hardship) and use my Mum's internet connection (I'd just moved into a new flat) to troll the internet for fic I could devour later. ^_^ Good times.

A scifi evening sounds like a brillant idea, I could do a Dark Knight (nope, still haven't seen it) and a Iron Man double feature.

Yeah, I love doing those little theme evenings :)

I was hooked on Mal/Inara from the pilot - they are totally my kind of otp

Firefly was SO much better than Dollhouse. I haven't watched the movie Serenity for a while though *sigh*

Yeah, Dollhouse is not very good -it's quite sad it's going to get more eps than Firefly
