Mark Watches ‘Serenity’ LIVEBLOG!

This should be fun, since we’ve not done a liveblog on the new site with the new comment system. If this is your first liveblog ever, welcome and sit down for a brief instruction on how these things go down.


1) This is where the liveblog will take place. You can bookmark this page.

2) The liveblog starts at 11am PST. That’s 2pm on the east coast and 7pm in London. Consult a world clock if you aren’t sure what time it starts!

3) At exactly 11am PST, press play on your copy of Serenity! Inevitably, you may be a few seconds ahead or behind other people, but that’s ok.

4) COMMENT. That’s it. We are all going to be sharing our thoughts, emotions, reactions, and CAPS LOCK GIF PARTIES throughout the duration of the film.

It is literally that simple!

I will post a recap tomorrow afternoon with my thoughts of the film and then ask for what you guys thought. And then everything will be sad because that’s it. 🙁

Well…actually, I’m going to get ahold of the graphic novels ASAP and I’ll post one-off reviews of those over on Mark Reads! And then it will all be over. Sad times.

Anyway, if you have any questions, let me know. See you tomorrow!

  35. Miss_Connell says:

    Why do I love the spinning gun check in thingy so much?

  36. Fuchsia says:

    KAYLEE AND JAYNE, BOTH OF YOU PLEASE NEVER CHANGE.

  37. CollegeBookworm says:

    Kaylee WOULD use a vibrator. I'm so proud of her for saying that.

  38. pica_scribit says:

  39. Becca says:

    At least Zoe and Wash are happy (ish)…

  55. NB2000 says:

    Summer Glau is awesome. That is all.

  56. hpfish13 says:

    Everythings about to get crazy!

  57. Mary Sue says:

    OMG I AM LATE fast fowarding the netflix to minute 32 (Hey, I saw this movie originally in the early screenings, with less music and stuff, and a bajillion times since then, I CAN DO THIS).

    PS Fanty and Mingo. <3 Such pretty scumbags.

  58. redheadedgirl says:

    What's that sound? THE SOUND OF SHIT GETTING REAL

  59. SorrowsSolace says:

    XD Some of the lines are awesome in this movie and good for Kaylee for getting a good come back in.

  60. Becca says:

    Fruity oaty bars make a man out of a mouse
    Fruity oaty bars make you bust out of your blouse
    Eat them all the time
    Then they'll blow your mind…

  61. pica_scribit says:

    Damn, I miss my hookah pipe!

    MIRANDA!

  62. Fuchsia says:

    Such a hauntingly good shot and then RIVER STARTS KICKING EVERYONE'S ASS

  63. Karen says:

    SUMMER GLAU IS A GODDESS.

  64. Eilonwy_Llyr says:

    Oh. Oh my, River.

  65. kellythered says:

    HOLY SHIT RIVER!!!

  66. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    'Do you know that girl?'
    'I really don't.'
    River is so amazing in this scene.

  67. canyonoflight says:

    BADASS

  68. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    RIVER IS THE VERY BEST BADASS OF ALL TIME

    • sara_subrosa says:

      SHE WILL KICK YOU PRETTY AND SQUASH YR BALLS

    • Laurel says:

      Even more badass since Summer did all (or at least nearly all) of her own stunts. Trufax. And this bragging has everything to do with my ladycrush on her, yes.

    • Mary Sue says:

      I can’t remember where I heard this conversation, but apparently the stunt director said to Joss, “Hey, Summer can kick behind herself, around a pole, and kick a guy in the head.” and Joss said, “Let’s do that!”

  69. Jerssica says:

    NGL, when I visited Japan over the summer, I sang 'Fruity Oaty Bar' roughly every 5 minutes.

  70. Pseudonymph says:

    Did she just grab Jayne's "nethers"?

  71. amandajane5 says:

    Fruity Oaty Bars!!!!!!!!

  72. Eilonwy_Llyr says:

    But is Jayne not getting more awesome? "Hey, a tussle!"

  73. hpfish13 says:

    River you are so freaking awesome!! And no Mal you really don't

  74. CollegeBookworm says:

    River hitting Jayne in the crotch = awesome. And kind of deserved.

  75. ravendaine says:

    BEST. SCENE. EVARRRRR.

  76. fireflyfan says:

    Best fight scene ever. The slow motion at the beginning of rivers fight was to show it from her point of view.

  77. Openattheclose says:

    Joss Whedon signature, the petite woman kicking all the men's asses!

  78. Znachki says:

    Except for the flip and the handspring, that fight is all Summer Glau

  79. Anonymouse says:

    HOLY CRAP!!!! River kicks some serious ASS!

  80. monkeybutter says:

    I like seeing it from River's point of view. It's a nice callback to the stick-gun bit from the last episode.

    Also, great fight scene!

  81. hpfish13 says:

    Did she just go crazy and fall asleep?!!

  82. Robyn says:

    Joss put the around the column kick in just because Summer Glau can do it. She is the Best.

  83. xpanasonicyouthx says:

    WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED

  84. Fuchsia says:

    I always feel so bad for River here. What the HELL did they do to her that she just goes into murderous rages and has no clue?

  85. sara_subrosa says:

    Oh, Wash. <3.

  86. Narcissaa says:

    BEST FIGHT SCENE EVER OMG.

    <img src="http://imgur.com/Yq1Nh.gif"&gt;

  87. Anonymouse says:

    O.o What just happened?

  88. chikzdigmohawkz says:

    'Start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a 90 pound girl.' Love Wash.

  89. Openattheclose says:

    "Don't say it!"
    "It only works on her Jayne."

  90. kellythered says:

    "It only works on her."

    "WELL, NOW THAT I KNOW THAT!"

    LOL ILU JAYNE

  91. CollegeBookworm says:

    "Start with the part where Jayne gets knocked out by a ninety pound girl, because I don't think that's ever getting old!"

  92. SorrowsSolace says:

    The phrase Simon says to knock River out is Russian, I think it's loosely translated too "The chickens find this ridiculous."

  93. hpfish13 says:

    Jayne you are wonderful

  94. Mogatrat says:

    Loljayne
    DAMN Mal.

  95. kellythered says:

    Damn, Mal!

  96. canyonoflight says:

    lol Jayne.

  97. swimmingtrunks says:

    How did Mal get a medal of honor for the battle of Serenity? Isn't that when the browncoats fell? Who was around to pass out medals?

  98. Znachki says:

    eta kurum na smeck – laughter for the chickens. It's Russian.

  99. fireflyfan says:

    Jayne's eating the frozen grapes he was using.
