I'll ramp down off Serenity soon, I promise

[darkemeralds]

A couple of Firefly/Serenity items that seem worth sharing:

David Griek at "Entertainment Geekly" has managed to write a coherent and worthwhile review of Serenity that is completely spoiler free.

And obsessive24 has created a Firefly opening credit sequence to the theme from Friends that made me smile and smile. And maybe sniffle just a bit. Go here to download. 2MB. It's dessert.

That was cute. :) Thanks for posting a link to it.

S-a-a-a-a-y, vcrusch...you wouldn't know the whereabouts of the movie script, would you? (see comment thread below)

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

No,wait--that comment thread isn't below. It's in wedjateye's journal, but anyway, talk of the movie script floating around. I remember hearing tell of it shortly after filming commenced last summer.

Any thoughts?

[wedjateye.livejournal.com]

Priceless! Thankyou for that. Laughed hard.

And the review is good - I'm impressed how he managed to get a particular concept in there without spoiling it for anyone.

Have you seen obseesive24's Space Cadet (M/S) yet? Watch the catwalk scene the second time it comes around (M and S from pilot where he is just about to tell him Kaylee is dead). Have a look at where they have their hands. Mal in particular.

Made my day.

You have a subtle eye, Wedj. I had to watch that, oh, five, six times before I really got it.

Well, "had to" might be putting it a bit strongly.

[wedjateye.livejournal.com]

I don't think I'm that subtle. I was actually admiring the camera angle, thinking I didn't remember them shooting from above like that. Somehow, it just drew my eye DOWN and there it was. :)

I then had to confirm my impression with several repeat viewings. And it has been independently verified by both Kispexi2 and obsessive24. So there you have it. My first foray into bringing a slash subtext moment to the world. (Or to a little corner of LJ anyway.)

bringing a slash subtext moment to the world

It's a demanding and rewarding task. Somebody has to do it. And by the way, I checked on the DVD just for a higher-resolution view, and there really is very much a "cock of the walk" attitude going on there. Mal's practically pointing at his, and Simon turns away ever so slightly, yielding the turf.

What makes this all especially interesting is that this was the very first scene Nathan and Sean filmed together. The chemistry on that set must've been mind-blowing.

My, you are thorough in your crosschecking

I checked on the DVD just for a higher-resolution view

I like that in a fellow-obsessive. Haven't had the chance to check the DVD myself (partner has hijacked tv since I spend so much damn time on the computer).

this was the very first scene Nathan and Sean filmed together

Yes. Blows my mind anyway.

Also, have you seen a very funny fan vid called 'Why' with Mal, Jayne and Simon? By Andrea and off the bad in latin site. I can find you the link if you haven't. Cracked me up.

[emeraldsedai.livejournal.com]

I'd love a link!

Sorry, I'm crap at html for comments so it took me a while - I put the link on my LJ as I can use the rich text editor there. Hope you enjoy.
