On a whim, I gave my Aunt Lisa a call last night and we chatted about geeky sci-fi stuff for a while. She is, of course, a huge Firefly fan. She’s also never seen Farscape which I told her she needed to see. I don’t talk to my Aunt very much, but I should. Of course, I don’t really talk to anyone in my family very much outside of my mother. I’m not sure why that is. I love them very much. I hope they know that. :\
I saw it last night and it was awesome. I can’t really comment more about it until it’s released as I don’t want to spoil it for anyone. It’s really hard to discuss it without discussing details that reveal key story elements. Look for a review this weekend.
The charity screening went pretty well. The turn out was marginally good. I was disappointed that there weren’t many folks there that hadn’t seen the show already. However, it was a fun event and worth the money, especially since most of it went to charity.
The day couldn’t have been any better as when I got home, I received my confirmation that I will be able to attend the screening for bloggers only on September 26th. My 30th birthday will be extra special! I will have to get there early to get a seat. I tried to go to the screening of Hitchikers Guide the Galaxy and we weren’t able to get seats even though we arrived about 45 minutes early.
Here’s the Serenity synopsis according to Universal:
Joss Whedon, the Oscar® – and Emmy – nominated writer/director responsible for the worldwide television phenomena of BUFFY THE VAMPIRE, ANGEL and FIREFLY, now applies his trademark compassion and wit to a small band of galactic outcasts 500 years in the future in his feature film directorial debut, Serenity. The film centers around Captain Malcolm Reynolds, a hardened veteran (on the losing side) of a galactic civil war, who now ekes out a living pulling off small crimes and transport-for-hire aboard his ship, Serenity. He leads a small, eclectic crew who are the closest thing he has left to family –squabbling, insubordinate and undyingly loyal.
Apparently the PR people for Joss Whedon’s new movie “Serenity” are inviting bloggers to an advance screening. Naturally, being one of the biggest fans of the show, I signed up. There have been a few screenings in Portland over the past few months, but I’ve never been able to see them. I’m hoping they e-mail me back with some information about it. It’s scheduled to happen on my birthday, so that would be a terrific present.
