just got back from watching the trade/reviewers' preview of Serenity.

it's fucking awesome.
Posted by SuperFunGordon, around October 2005:
 
I saw that, it's great (:

Night Watch looks like fun, too...
Posted by Saltation, around October 2005:
 
where did you see it?

i saw the first 30mins of nightwatch in a scifi channel preview -- very french feel to it, very intense
Posted by SuperFunGordon, around October 2005:
 
I thought it was Russian.

I saw Serenity in the USA.
Posted by Saltation, around October 2005:
 
yeah it is, that's what's weird about its feel

when was serenity released in yankeeland?
Posted by Sul, around October 2005:
 
Oh it's that Firefly movie thing. I dont think I ever caught the telly show. Will probably go see it.

How comes you were at the trade/reviewers' preview then? Are you going to be on the movie poster? - "it's fucking awesome" - Salti.
Posted by Saltation, around October 2005:
 
that has that certain style that just says "that's salti, eh", to be sure.

i got lucky -- an e-mate used to be a journalist/reviewer and still gets invites to some things. she mentioned she didn't want to see this one and i jumped up and down. score!

also: tonight is the WORLD PREMIERE of "kinky boots" at the same cinema (which they were setting up for when i left), and "someone got run over by a bus" on shaftesbury avenue, also as i was leaving. keep an eye out for when i leave things -- that appears to be when the Action is

a quick search on "Firefly" video on Limewire seems to show the whole series is there -- very worth checking out if you can't afford the DVDs. and the movie is much much better if you know the characters/back-story, as some key characters in the movie are at the end of their rope so would be difficult to work out why they're behaving/relating that way based just on the movie

Christ, talk about destroying all teh romance when describing the beautiful love-making act...

One line movie reviews! That'd be a great site.

Get preview tickets for very little effort.
Posted by Sul, around October 2005:
 
Oh and I might buy the DVDs. Silverscreen has them cheap I seem to recall. Although I just ordered a fucking lovely bass so I shouldnt be splashing around the cash so readily.
Posted by Sul, around October 2005:
 
Although I made that sound like a fish I do, in fact, mean a guitar.
Posted by Saltation, around October 2005:
 
you can make a guitar sound like a fish?

dude. you're a fucking LEGend. bobothy marley should look out, you'll be choking in your own vomit in NO time.

What's 'Serenity'?
Posted by Sul, around October 2005:
 
hehe. I dont know alot but I know that a married man will never know what serenity is :)

i saw it on saturday (opened friday here) and it was pretty good. downloading firefly at the moment...
Posted by Saltation, around October 2005:
 
ah bummer- you saw it before you saw firefly?
arse and bugger. your understanding of the characters would have been confused by the movie. the characters are all under major strain from the outset, and the characters and their interrelationships that so affect their interactions don't come across that clearly from just the movie.

i'd say some other stuff re how FUCKING dramatic the latter scenes are, in light of how normal the lead-up in the series is, but i am steadfastly refusing anything remotely resembling a spoiler. and there's not a lot you can say about the plot without being a spoiler.

Saw bits of that on Wossy t'other night. It bothered my 'Oh Shit It's T4 Sci-Fi' alarm on what I saw :/

It better be good though, as it's likely the new Mrs B will drag me to see it with her on Friday.
Posted by syl, around October 2005:
 
This guy is damn sexy
Posted by Saltation, around October 2005:
 
what's "Wossy"?
Posted by bumdog, around October 2005:
 
Jonathan Ross's show innit.
Posted by Brock, around October 2005:
 
Jonathon Ross - Film 2005.
Posted by Brock, around October 2005:
 
Um. Innit.

Hello AP; the other day I wished SuperFunGordon congratulations on getting married, because Doc Lucid said he was you. So congratulations on getting married and may you have many very happy years.
Posted by cal, around October 2005:
 
i don't think the dog of bum is really married

but you have a new missus?
Posted by Brock, around October 2005:
 
Surely no woman could be that gullible? It must be a girlfriend, surely?
Posted by bumdog, around October 2005:
 
cal: Yeah, i'm now seeing a film studies lecturer. she's cool. The last one sort of ran off with a 'friend' of mine. Cheers.

Not married though thankfully! :)
Posted by Doctor Lucid, around October 2005:
 
Hello again AP! So what was that 'wedding' I went to? Some kind of 'film set'? An 'elaborate practical' 'joke'?

New bass? Splashing? I can make mine sound like a chicken if that's any help.
Posted by SuperFunGordon, around October 2005:
 
Hi Bumdog. Everyone thought I was you.

I'm not, am I?
Posted by Doctor Lucid, around 8th October 2005:
 
Ssshhhh, AP.
