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…

This is pretty damn funny.

Mosquito: Behind The Scenes Preview I haven’t looked at the movie yet, but the still photos are priceless. Link found at browncoats message board. or Google. I don’t know.

Take my dog, take my cat
Western without cowboy hats
Look at me I’m on TV
You can’t take this show from me

Take our doctor, make him squeal
I’m told our whore is quite a deal
We say Zed instead of Zee
You can’t take this show from me

They’re airing baseball yet again
We might not break episode ten
But you can’t take this show from me
