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!
River, you took out Jayne and that is awesome!
"This isn't about the war, Mal." Why does this make me think of The Big Lebowski? LOL! "What the fuck does anything have to do with Vietnam, Mal?!"
JAYNE LOOK AT YOUR LIFE LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES.
Firefly + Sassy Gay Friend might make my head EXPLODE FROM AWESOME! <3
Man, I know what's going on and I'm disconcerted with those corpses that keep flashin.
Oh, Jayne. You can't handle the girl. Don't even try.
She looks so badass here.
OW OW OW OW KICK TO THE THROAT OW.
Again Jayne? Seriously? Haven't you learned?
RIVER NOO IT'S SIMON
WHY are your comments always showing up as most recent? Make it stop.
I KNOW it's irritating RIGHT?!?!?!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING.
THANK YOU FOR DELETING IT.
IT'S STILL HERE.
Maybe delete all the comments?
I think it may be cuz of our replies? IDK but look I took caplox off for the first time in this liveblog!
River!!! You hit Simon!!!!
River's escaped!
She has a gun! Vera?!
what the fuck is happening
River, whatcha doing?
Jayne looks like a pinup model in the back.
"You might as well shoot me now"
*click*
"Or we could keep talking"
Miranda… the plot thickens.
"And if I'm wrong, you best shoot me now. *cocks gun* Or… we could talk more."
River you found Miranda!
MIRANDA.
River is so good at multitasking.
Not a gun… Superman! /irongiant
Did your mind go esplodey, Mark?
OH GOD BRB CRYING RIVERS.
Jayne, she can kill you with her brain.
"Half of writing history is hiding the truth."
Love that quote.
REAVERS!!!! That is bad!!!!
No!!!!! Shepherd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No. Haven.
No. No. NonononoNONONONONO!!
omg. Soul-crushing despair ;_;
OH NO ALL THE BAD EVER. 🙁 🙁 🙁
OH MY GOD I FORGOT ABOUT THIS
HAVEN!!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
AW FUCKING FUCK NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Oh god no, DAMN YOU JOSS WHEDON WHY MUST YOU KILL THE AWESOME CHARACTERS?!
Noooo, Book, noooo 🙁
Oh God.
HOLY FREAKING SHIT WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN.
;_;
"Should have been me." "Yeah, that crossed my mind."
Joss…why do you fill my life with sadness???
DAMN YOU JOSS!!! 🙁
Book 🙁
BOOK! OH NO BOOK BOOK OH NO NOT OKAY NOT OKAY THIS MOVIE GUYS. THIS MOVIE.
Fuck you, Joss Whedon. Fuck. You.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
nooooooooo crying all the tears
Oh no why did I decide to do this? My creys!
I don't care what you believe! Just believe in it!
-WEEPS OPENLY-
<img src="http://imgur.com/c0IfJ.gif">
omg Merlin gif yes! Perfect.
BOOK. BOOK NO PLEASE I HAVE SEEN THIS MOVIE SO MANY TIMES AND I STILL GET UPSET AT THIS. THIS IS ONE OF THE WORST PARTS OF THE MOVIE.
"I don't care what you believe. Just believe."
I HATE YOU JOSS WHEDON.
Joss Whedon you are the evilest person ever!!!
Have we mentioned that Joss has no problem killing off his characters? He and JKR have that in common.
HAVEN. BRB SOBBING FOREVER. ;_;
Joss, why do you love to tear our hearts out so?
On a totally shallow and inappropriate note… I HATE THAT SHIRT SIMON IS WEARING
it gets worse.
I changed my mind. Operative, you are the worst person ever!
But the sadness is also one of the things that makes the movie/series so great. I totally want to jump into the movie now and kill The Operative. In cold blood.
'I don't murder children.'
'I do. If I have to.'
The way he just calmly says "I know I'm a monster" gives me the chills every time.
Same here.
"I believe in something greater than myself. A better world. A world without sin."
Fanatics are always dangerous
The Operative is a dick.
"I don't murder children."
"I do…." for some reason, this part makes me laugh. Even if it shouldn't.
Oops, looks like I'm a bit behind, D:
endless fucking tragedy. what the fuck.
Joss didn't get a lot of time to screw with our emotions in 14 episodes. He's making up for it.
Oh god the Operative is a purveyor of THE GREATER GOOD.
At least he knows he's a monster.
Now he's made Mal mad!
Joss believes that if heroes can't die, then there is no real drama.
I really do take issue with Joss's need to actually kill off characters to "raise the stakes" or whatever. It's fiction. If you're going to make something happen make it mean something.
This does mean something, though. This is one of the most important parts of the film.
I agree with both your points. Book's death does mean something, and Joss's "raising the stakes" is sometimes excessive.
I love The Operative so much. He's scary, honest, and at times rational which of course makes him even scarier.
I love that the Operative knows exactly what he is, and is okay with it.
And now Mal is on the war path….
This is what shit getting real looks like.
There's something particularly horrifying about this plan
And by something you mean everything right?
Yeah, that's pretty much what I mean. But in particular the aspect of having to become their enemies to succeed.
The part where, if it goes wrong, they all die horribly painful deaths?
NOW IS THE TIME WHEN ALL OF THE SHITS GET REAL.
So sad what they had to do to Serenity. 🙁
"Jayne, try not to steal too much of their shit."
Ah the gag reel, source of many inappropriate giggles during a horrifically dramatic and depressing scene.
I love that you can see how much Mal hates doing this
This part is so fucking creepy. I love it. The screams…
Ghostin among the Reaver ships. Spooky.
There is something physically painful about what they do to Serenity in this movie. The poor ship.
I can't even imagine what they're hearing over the wireless.
THOSE SCREAMS…*shudder*
this part makes me so tense every time
And now I can't keep watching because my bitch sister decided to take over the room I was in. Despite the fact that there was another better tv. And now she's harassing me in my room. What the fuck?
'Define "disappeared."'
"Define disappeared."
In the showing I saw that line got a huge cheer.
"Define disappeared." That's what happens when you completely hide a planet. It backfires on you!
This movie always makes me SCARED TO BREATHE.
this is so fucked up.
I love how they still have the same spacesuits.
I LOVE RIVER'S DRESS. THAT LITTLE BIT OF CINEMATOGRAPHY WITH THE FLOATY DRESS AND HER WALKING IS DKFJHSFKJHSFKJHSFD.
Me too, that shot is so gorgeous
They filmed this part at a high school in CA. I kind of want to visit it.
This is a high school? LOL WHO WAS THEIR ARCHITECT?
Some post modern expressionist group.

You'd think it gets less creepy after they pass through the Reavers, but it doesn't.
Space Western version of a ghost town!
Miranda is so creepy. It always reminds me of Resident Evil.
Zoe is so goddamn graceful with that gun.
Omg so excited for this part.
Welcome to Miranda
I DON'T LIKE THIS AT ALL.
(River, can I have your pretty flow-y dress plz?)
The part with the people all hermetically sealed reminds me of The Stand for whatever reason.
They just lay down… Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck.
*Swirly Shot* … *Stop on Jayne's arm* Yes please.
For some reason 'please god make me a stone' always makes me cry so hard.
