dangermousieWhoa, so good
Bought Serenity DVD. I've forgotten how brilliantly good it is. And worth $$$ just for the deleted scenes and outtakes alone.
The outtakes are hilarious. I especially loved Wash's "back seat driving" comments. And I think I have a bit of a crush on Nathan Fillion now, after his little riff on finding Haven destroyed scene, e.g. "Kaylee, find that kid who's taking a dirt nap with Baby Jesus. We are going to need a hood ornament." And dancing with Morena.
I also loved the deleted scenes. The "pirate" one cracked me up. Mainly because I was trying to imagine Mal and Inara getting it on in a burning temple and nope, not working. I also loved seeing Inara reflected in The Operator's eye glasses because it was such a cool shot. And Book's prayer for the dead. But my two favorite deleted scenes were Mal and Inara after Mal transforms Serenity into a reaver ship and Mal and The Operative at the end. I loved that when TO asked him how Mal survived losing everything instead of so faux-profund statement we got Mal basically tellin TO to fuck off and muttering TO was a whiner. So in character. Mal wouldn't tell TO even if he knew how, which I don't think he does. He hates TO after all and is not the guy to pointificate.
The fave deleted scene though was Mal and Inara after stripping of serenity. When I first saw the movie I wanted to see her with him after that scene and they did shoot it! Glle has no bounds. And she does ease his burden a bit as he was falling apart. I loved the bit about Simon preparing ODs of morphine and I loved M/I's quiet conversation, the only one they really have. When he finally asks her why she left, as if the words are torn from him and she replies "Why didn't you ask me not to?" I about died. (Of course, woman, he was going to tell you he loved you in HoG until you had a fit of "attachments are evil" so hmmm...) It's about a billion steps forward, for them.
