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!
Liar. You TOTALLY looked through the stuff.
TRAP!!!!!!!
WOW, awkward much, Inara/Mal? JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY.
DUMBASS!
TRAP!!!!
"D'you see us fight?"
"no"
"trap"
Hahahahahaha, they knew it was a trap. LOL
Haha. I love how they're watching them talk.
Awkward conversations are awkward… Also, were they eating POPCORN!?
"Sooo, trap?"
"Trap."
:DDD
I love the outtakes for this scene.
"Did you see us fight"
"N–"
"TRAP!!!!"
I <3 Nathan Fillion
I love the bloopers for this scene.
I'm referring here to people.
JOSS WHY IS YOUR DIALOGUE SO SEX!
"And risk my ship?"
I am in deep love with the Companion training house. The whole place looks so utterly beautiful.
PS You see more of it during the deleted scenes on the dvd.
What??? And risk my ship?
I can't even deal with how much I love Zoe for this.
You take the ship, you come and you rescue me!
Random sidenote: Zoe's hair being down for like MOST of this movie makes me unbelievably happy.
LOL
"what? and risk my ship?"
She has gorgeous hair. I want hair like hers so badly.
Kaylee ♥
"Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony, and one of those little plastic rockets…"
'Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket.'
"Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocket and—" Hahaha <3
Mal, that headpiece!!
Dear Buddha, please bring me a pony and a plastic rocketship.
<3 Mal and your silly shawl.
I'm obsessed with the excess of tassel sounds in this. Joss, you make my life better.
I love Inara's room. Especially her bed. Where can I get a bed like that? I want one so badly. 🙁
I knnnoooooooow. I want me room to be just like that, though I suspect my cats would render it all to shreds.
True fact: I've spent a good amount of time on the internet searching just for that style of bed. I have no idea where to even begin to look so it's been totally unsuccessful.
Oddly enough, I think that style of room would be perfect with some cats! Or maybe a very proper dog. But Inara seems like she'd be more of a cat person.
Mal's costume is fantastic, as is his lack of respect towards religion.
The Operative is so. so. creepy.
Mal has read poetry?! Shocking.
The Operative looked so confused for a moment. XD
"It's worse than you know."
"It usually is."
lol. ICU reference to Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I hated that poem so much.
Yes, I've read a poem, try not to faint.
Haha, they said umbrage and I thought of the toad lady. HP has infiltrated everything.
I always thought that too.
Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.
Yes, I've read a poem.
I wish Nathan FIllion was in all the things.
Also, can I just mention that Chiwetel Ejiofor is phenomenal as the Operative? Because he is.
Operative, you are too Genre Savvy
HAHAHA MAL IS CRAZY PREPARED
"please. spend an hour with him."
xD ilu Inara.
My favorite scene in the film I think. Love the dialog and how the enemy can deconstruct film/hero cliches and of course Mal straight up Han Solo's him with a funny line.
Please, spend an hour with him!
"You wanna find someone, use your eyes."
Good advice.
GO MAL!
OMG NO OPERATIVE!!
INARA!!
I CANNOT FORM A COHERENT THOUGHT RIGHT NOW.
Haha. Mal thinks of everything.
"I'm unarmed."
"Good" -bang-
OMG Mal, that's why you aim for the HEAD!
He's shooting from the hip. Body shot was just about the best he could hope for.
"I am not a moron."
The best kind of villain are the ones who are always one step ahead.
I LOVE that exchange.
You hit Inara!!! You horrible human being!
This movie has SUCH great dialogue. Joss Whedon. God I love it.
"I'm unarmed."
"Good."
BLAM
"I am of course wearing full body armor. I am not a moron."
Always go for the headshot. IDIOT.
CHAOS. WTF.
That's not incense!
FUCK YEAH INARA!!
This fight sounds like it hurts so much.
"…and that's not incense."
"… that ain't so hard…" lol.
"That's not incense."
YOU GO, INARA!
Inara you are amazing!
INARA KICKING ASS WITH THE NOT-INCENSE!
Inara's back on Serenity
"And that's not incense."
Inara! Everyone is awesome in this movie!
I love Serenity's plasma trail. It's so pretty.
YES!!! That is definitely NOT incense!
I love how different Mal and the Operative are in this scene. Everything from their appearance to their fighting style. The Operative is so collected and formal in everything he does and Mal is dirty as hell.
Also "and that's not incense." YEEEEES
Inara!!! You get a gold star!
Inara! ♥
Cry Baby Cry make your momma sigh..
"You wanna run this ship?"
"Yes."
"Well… You can't."
'You wanna run this ship?'
'Yes!'
'Well – you can't!'
Well, you can't
Jayne, you in danger, girl.
"You wanna run this ship?"
"YES!"
"Well…you can't"
"Do you wanna run this ship?"
"Yeah."
"Well…you can't."
Oh Jayne. You're not wrong, but you're not exactly right either.
OH SHIT IT'S GONNA GO DOWN.
Jayne. What are you doing. What what WHAT are you doing.
Look at your life, look at your choices.
I can't help myself. XD
Look at your life, look at your choices!
OMG favorite part coming up… "You want to run this ship?" "Yes." "Well…. you can't!"
JAYNE HIT A SOFT SPOT. Holy shit.
"Are we caring about that?"
You want to run this ship?
YES.
Well…can't…
I'm so glad that they didn't lose any of the great dialogue transferring from TV to Movie mediums.
"Nodoby's saying that." "Nobody besides Jayne is saying that."
"Nobody's saying that."
"Nobody beside Jayne's saying that."
GUYS FUCK. I couldn't get my mom to go away and I just muted the sound so I wouldn't fuck up my timing with the liveblog but it means I missed like FIVE WHOLE MINUTES.
Luckily I thought I was going to miss the last ten or fifteen minutes for airport pick-up duty but my brother's flight is delayed. Convenient.
I like that Simon got out his prettiest blue shirt because it's Wednesday.
It is a pretty little shirt.
It'd look better on my floor. js.
Mal and Inara will now proceed with their scheduled argument.
"Nobody besides Jayne is saying that"
Most of my comments are just quotes
I love grown-up River in the Academy set. And I love her costume.
That's the clothes the Alliance made her wear when they were experimenting on her. A nice touch.
River has the most horrific dreams of all time.
River your mind is a terrible place to be
They just don't get a moment to sit down and catch their breath this whole entire movie.
WHAT IS THIS I AM SO CONFUSED
River remembers what/where Miranda is.
The school freaks me out -so- -much-. Poor River. Poor River's brain.
JAYNE WHAT ARE YOU DOING???
Sorry, Jayne. You're not match for RIver.
And…River kicks Jayne's ass. Again.
JAYNE I THOUGHT YOU LEARNED YOUR LESSON TRYING TO TAKE OUT RIVER.
Give up Jayne. Your no match for River. She's 1000 steps ahead of you.
