"Serenity" June 23, 2005 Screening

[sisabet]

I saw Serenity. Now I cut for my reaction, which could be spoilery although I mention nothing specific and y'all know I am already kinda high-strung so I mean anything could have happened and I'd be freaking out. Jayne could have beat Mal in a rousing game of Gin Rummy and I'd be all "DID YOU SEE THAT!!!!"

Just so you know.

ETA: Also? Mapquest lied. LIED!

So - cut



OMG

OMG

OMG!!!111!!!!! (this is also what I told the little studio dude handing out keychains, as my reaction)


See, I could blame the 800 mgs of ibuprofen that I took yesterday but no! I blame Joss. I had an ulcer attack after this movie and it is all his fault. That last bit - there was acid pumping in my stomach - I forgot to breathe and I swear I have never been as terrified at the theater as I was then.

Just so you know.

Right now, I have made it into work (barely) and I am popping pepcid and am no longer in active pain, just sore. Also? No more ibuprofen for a while.

sweetestdrain was wonderful and humored not only me but also The Boy. She also rightly pointed out that when one walks swiftly past a bronze fireman statue it is easy to fool your eyes into thinking you just saw a Mountie. I think it was the suspenders. Someone should write that AU.

She is also adept at picking out spelling errors from those annoying "Movie Facts" screens.

And then we saw the movie.

I'm Dead. Officially. I know I say that a lot but this time - this time it is true. That movie actually caused me physical pain. I am Dead. Maybe just ded. Dedish.

That last bit is the most tense/worried I have ever been at a movie.

I still don't think I'm over it.

How did Mapquest lie, did you get lost? Did you get good seats?

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Do you know if all of the screening "waves" get the same version, SDW?

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

We had great seats and we were never really lost if you believe the answer lies inside of you all the time....

::looks for grail::

It was an adventure!

*shields eyes*

I'm totally unspoiled so far (apart from the trailer) so just - gimme a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Tell me! How are your thumbs?!?!

My understanding is that the May 5th and 26th versions were pretty much the same, but this version was slightly more cleaned up (better color, better effects, apparently some different music, too) but is still not quite finished.

Wasn't it? It really felt like I was in a simulation. And I think I stopped breathing at the first visual of Serenity all BIG like that. Gah.

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Cool. Now I'm really curious about the coloring!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

So enthusiastically up that I hurt myself!

BIG DAMN MOVIE!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

[sweetestdrain]

Yay! Awesome, awesome movie. I hope your stomach is feeling better by now. And again, thank you so much for having me along. I had a great time. (When we hang out again - which we should! - I'll have to remember to have my coffee first so I don't abruptly fall mute.)

OMG!!!!!!!

Hey!

[cristophoros.livejournal.com]

You could have taken me with you and the Boy. I am so jealous right now. Firefly kicks butt.

:(

Re: Hey!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Oh man - you should totally rag on the boy about that! He needs to be more on top of his relatives' Firefly devotion.

The Good News? The movie was FANTASTIC and they might have another screening soon. I'll def. have the Boy keep you posted. He has a phone now!

Re: Hey!

[cristophoros.livejournal.com]

He has a phone now? As in a cell phone? I don't even have a cell phone...hmmm...depressing.

Well, the boy spent his day today capsizing kayaks and later he got his hair put in corn rows. Wanna see pictures? Yep I've got 'em. Need an email addy to send them to though.

Oh and about Firefly, another screening would be great. Yes, have the boy keep me posted.

:)

Re: Hey!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Cornrows!!! Hee - yes, I so want to see pictures. My addy is sisabet at yahoo dot com.

And he *should* have his cell with him and I know what you mean about depressing. His phone is *much* nicer than mine.

And I know the boy is dying to see Serenity again, so I'll for sure keep my eyes out for more screenings.
