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!
Wash I love you!
"Didn't we have an intricate plan as to how they was gonna be not here anymore?"
Oh Jayne, your grammar is so amusing.
"Can I make a suggestion that doesn't involve violence, or is this the wrong crowd?" Oh Walsh, never change.
"Can I suggest something that doesn't involve violence, or is this the wrong crowd for that?"
Oh, Wash…
MR UNIVERRRRRSE <3
Mal, your face is a picture of brooding.
And thank you Wash. <3 Mr. Universe
Mr. Universe, such an interesting new character
MISTER UNIVERSE <3
So how exactly does the Mr. Universe thing work? I mean… just how does it work?
It explained in the novelization.
Ah, I haven't read that! I don't actually know why…
He's a really talented hacker. Who obviously made lots of money and bought his own planet.
I love Mr. Universe.
David Krumholtz! 'Can't stop the signal.'
The "Mr Universe" thing always feels so "out of the blue" to me. I mean, if there'd been even one reference to him on the show…. I like the character, but them going to him feels so out of place to me.
I would imagine in the original scope of the first season, there was an episode devoted to meeting him. But they had to just cram him into the movie since he was going to be a big part of the season.
There are many characters we hadn’t met yet.
Damn Fox.
So where's our friend who was already at Mr. Universe like twenty minutes ago?
MR. UNIVERSE, I LOVE YOU!!!
CAN'T STOP THE SIGNAL!
"Can't stop the signal"
http://xkcd.com/311/
WIN!
Love it!!!
lmao
Honestly, was the idea with the makeup to make Mal look as world-weary as possible? Because it worked. Aww, Mal…
Can't stop the signal!
She would be sleepy
a hungry angry baby <3
"I cried, like a baby. A hungry, angry baby."
Also, you can marry inanimate objects in the future?
He's Mr. Universe. He can do whatever he gorram wants.
Equal rights for lovebots!
"You can't stop the signal"
If I'm completely honest, that line always gets me a little choked up…
lol. The Love Bot.
Aw, Mr. Universe. I love you but you're slightly creepy.
Miranda, what are you!!
"Go back further"
"No"
"Uhhh please?"
Real Dolls of the future!
"The OATY bar?!" Oh, Wash, so incredulous.
Subliminal messages in commercials!!!
I love that Mr. Universe is a member of the tribe (aka Jewish). For those who didn't notice, his "wedding" to the love-bot includes Jewish traditions like breaking a glass. And well, a yarmulke.
I didn't notice. That's kind of awesome.
There are two Jews on Firefly- Mr. Universe, and the postman back in "The Message"
I noticed that! I loved that little detail. Multiculturalism ftw.
…now if only we could get ourselves some Asians in our West/East hybrid future.
Religious diversity in popular entertainment FTW! 😀
I love that he's David Krumholtz because I had a huge frickin crush on him when I was a kid.
This movie likes to break all of my hearts, one after the other.
WHY DOES IT BREAK ALL OF MY HEARTS
Do you all know what it is your carrying?
WE DON'T. WE REALLY DON'T.
I am just realizing now that he's the guy from 10 Things I Hate About You.
HOLY SHIT YOU ARE RIGHT.
And The Santa Clause!
And Numb3rs.
And Freaks and Geeks,
one of my favourite actors I don't see a lot!
Oh, this scene. River, please stop crushing my soul ;__________;
Do you know what it is you're carrying?
I feel bad for River, continually referred to as a weapon or a thing, while they conveniently forget she's still HUMAN.
"Am I talking to Miranda now?" *ANNOYED RIVER FACE*
Oh, River. I love you so much sweetheart.
Ok, I know I keep naming things my favorite things, but the look River gives Simon when he asks if she's Miranda is winning right now.
Love River's face when Simon asks if he's talking to 'Miranda'.
Am I talking to Miranda now?
::side eyes::
LOL'N FOREVER.
I love that look on River's face
Aww… poor River.
No Sad River. 🙁
roflllllll her face
River's "No you idiot" face is hilarious when Simon asks if he's talking to Miranda.
Uh-oh
"Bullet in the brainpan–squish!"
So creepy omg.
I love this line so much dskfjhsdkjfhsdf.
God, just the look on Inara's face…chilling.
I love Mr. Universe.
ron glass aged seemingly 10 times more than the others
Haha "Am I… talking to Miranda now?"
River: *bitchplz*. Does someone have a gif of that look?
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/kretch1967/gifs/Firefly/24vmlci.gif" border="0" alt="Photobucket">
THIS LOOK. SO GREAT.
YES. TY.
I was wondering if anyone had ever made a GIF to that, ahahaha.
LIKE THE VERY BEST GIF, RIGHT?
Hell yeah! Right click, save!
Things are gonna get much much worse. SO OMINOUS
River 🙁 There are not enough sadfaces…
UGH WHY IS HE VISITING INARA.

Simon is still the best big brother ever.
BOOOOOOOOOOOK
.The Inara scene. No words needed. She knew right away he was a bad man.
I LOVE BOOK'S CORNROWS SO MUCH.
Shepherd Book! What happened to your hair?
Apparently Ron Glass' granddaughter braided it for him.
IKR!!! I feel sad that it's gone.
Book, I still don't get you.
I want complete Book story. Nowwww.
I love the relationship that Book and Mal have fallen into.
NIGHTMARE OF ALL NIGHTMARES NO NO NO DO NOT WANT
Shepard Book!!!!!
Mal – Have to tell me about that some time.
Book – No, I don't.
Shepherd Book you are so wise and knowledgable
Mysterious Book is being mysterious.
"I wasn't born a Shepherd."
NNNNGHHHH
Little River is a brunette Luna Lovegood.
"When I talk about belief, why do you always assume I'm talking about God?"
Good question, preacher-man.
Mary Sue why are your comments always appearing in front of the others
it's kind of annoying.
That's what I was wondering.
Samesies. But I think that's just the comment section being weird.
OR THE FACT THAT SHE'S MARY SUE COME ON NOW.
Nathan Fillion's pants are loooow.
WHY HELLO MAL. HOW SHIRTLESS YOU ARE THIS MORNING.
Book knows a lot about Operatives. It's weird.
Also, the implication that Book never has to share his backstory? SO ANGRY.
Book tamed his hair! 😀
The actress who plays the teacher was totally Walt's mom on Lost, wasn't she?
Yes! She's also currently on Bones; she plays Cam.
OMG I never noticed that! Haha, dealing with Walt and River, that would be fun.
Yes and is Cam on Bones
yay fanservice~
Book is kinda weirdin me out.
INARA!!!!!
"You'll have to tell me about that sometime."
"No I won't."
Lol everyone watching the Mal/Inara chat. LOVE THAT JAYNE HAS SNACKS.
Its interesting that they overlaid Summer's voice over the original dialogue of little girl River
awkward conversation is awkward.
and i <3 Walsh throwing food at the screen when Mal is lame
The popcorn. I can't. It's too adorable.
For a second there I thought we were FINALLY getting some Book back story… dare to dream…
Yeeees, I love everything about this scene! Oh Mal and Inara…and everyone in the cockpit.
THEY'RE SO AWKWARD. Haha. Inara's training can't help her with Mal at all.
Hahaha at all the crew eavesdropping/spying on Mal and Inara's conversation XD
I LOVE THAT PART!! It's unbelievably cute.
'Take it you all were watching?'
'Yeah.'
'Did you see us fight?'
'No.'
'Trap.'
And they're all eating popcorn while they're watching the conversation.
I love the outtakes for that scene, too.
"TRAAAAP!"
Ha, that reaction shot.
oahdfjhdsjadhsfsa OH MY GOD THE WHOLE CREW WATCHING THEM. Amazing.
OF COURSE THEY ARE. This crew is way too involved in each other's lives.
With popcorn! (or something similar)
INARA AND MAL ARE SO AWKWARD.
