firefly

I think this is a great idea.

I stumbled across a really cool blog post, comparing the crews of Serenity (Firefly) and the Millennium Falcon.

I never thought of that! And I like the choices made.

And I love the Chewie comparison. I happen to think Star Wars could have been improved with Jewel Staite in there someplace.

Which sci-fi crew would you best fit in? v1.0

It was a toss-up between Galactica, SG-1, Matrix, and Serenity (Firefly). Firefly won since I don’t trust the government…

Seeing Serenity today:

Talking to my wife before:

Me: Mind if I go to a movie?
Her: No, that’s fine.
Son: Can I go?
Me: You’ve already seen it.
Son: What is it?
Me: Serenity
Son: Fuck, yeah!
*okay, not those exact words, but that’s what he meant*
Wife: Graar!
Me and Son: *Leave before wife can find the cordless phone. Pretty sure divorce lawyer is on speed-dial*

Buying tickets:

Me: Two for Serenity, please.
Lady behind us: I heard that’s good.
Me: It is.
Lady behind us: *funny look*
Me: Saw it last week.
Son: This is our third time!
Lady behind us: Two for Wallace and Gromit, please.

During the movie

Me: Whedon, you bastard!
Son: *says lines three seconds before characters do*
Me: SHhhh.. there may be somebody here that hasn’t seen it yet!
Son: I can’t wait for Narnia to come out!

After the movie

Wife: Was it any different this time?
Son: No.
Wife: Are you glad you went?
Son: No.
Wife: Graar!
*finger twitching on speed-dial button*
Then maybe you should have stayed home…

Shiny!

I’m gonna load up on coffee this afternoon, since I’m thinking of going to the after-midnite showing of Serenity. It starts at 12:30, so after almost thirty minutes of new car and coca cola commercials, that means the movie itself will run to nearly three AM.

And that? Is past my bedtime. A little.

Plus we have soccer (9:30 and 10:15 AM games on opposite sides of town, naturally)

We’ll see how it goes…
