So, I saw Serenity.
Eh, it was okay.
Yeah, RIGHT. It was awesome! Best gorram movie I've seen in a long, long time.
Like, ever.
Following will be mad quotage shamelessly gacked from the thread on Browncoats because I'm too lazy to type it up myself, man. But first! The stuff in the theater before the screening!
My mom and I managed to put together Firefly 'verse costumes in about fifteen minutes. She looked like a cowgirl, and I went for a distinctly more Chinese feel. I wore my dark red shirt from RenFest - y'know, the one that bunches up at the neck and elbows?, - my swishy black pants, my mom's red and black Chinese jacket, black high-heeled boots, and a black neck choker with some dangling beads.
We stood in line for a while, just in front of a British guy, and right behind some teenagers. When we got into the theater, we sat in the middle of the second row. On my right was a bunch of teenage girls (and further down, a couple and their kid who looked about eight, which is awesome), on my mom's left there was a couple who were really cool. We were chatting, and whenever my mom said something, me and the guy would reply with almost the exact same words, and then laugh. And his wife and I argued against him on the merits of Riley, which was cool.
At one point, about 45 minutes before the screening, a theater worker (cute teenage guy) came up front to check the microphones. They were crapping out and not working for about five minutes, so when he finally got them to work, everyone started cheering super-loud. He grinned and asked if we wanted him to sing or something, and everyone screamed "YES!", so he did R2D2 noises into the mike before going to the back. It was hilarious. I love Browncoats.
Sitting in the second row turned out to be a brilliant idea - because Jewel Staite showed up! Seriously! It was awesome! And her husband looks like a high schooler. Seriously. He was YOUNG.

Also, I now have a Serenity keychain and a Serenity mini-poster autographed by Jewel Staite. Go me!
