Reeling

[darkemeralds]

A big thank you today to prime_meridian, serenity_valley, str8ontilmornin, corellian_sugar and electrcspacegrl for forming a big supportive gang around me at last night's Serenity screening.

Portland didn't get a castmember appearance--Big Damn Disappointment--and our screening was extra-long and complicated because the reels were out of order. There was a huge disconnect from one scene to the next, then everything ground to a halt and the lights came up. The official from Universal stood to ask us if we wanted to correct the problem or carry on, but before he got three words out, the audience as one said, "Fix it. We'll wait."

So we had a twenty-minute intermission while reels were put right, then we got to see several early scenes a second time. If it had happened any later in the movie, I'd've killed someone, I think.

We got out at 1:00 a.m., and, unwilling to go silently home, some of us met up at a late-night place, Montage, starving but with no appetite at all. So we drank. And decompressed. I found a shot of Laphroig very...salutary.

I can't stop thinking about the movie. It woke me after only three hours of sleep. It's that powerful.

Thanks! That's actually quite helpful. Becuase it's starting to wear off, but not nearly enough yet. I'll know I'm all better when I feel like writing porn again.

I actually managed to write something last night that flowed (as opposed to feeling like I was forcing it out through gritted teeth) and it wasn't porn but it was a light scene that had all the crew in it. So I think I am bouncing back...

If you need cheering up, there is a very nice vid up on The Pretty Fits.

And when you are ready, I posted some M/S squeeage on my page for you and Kis.
