beansideI really haven't updated in a while. *shrug*
Ah well.
The short version is that we spent the week housitting for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
justsonya and tobiasnevermore, taking care of their lovely kitties.
Originally had planned to go to Rehoboth for a couple days, but we were so enjoying the peace and quiet that we skipped it, and did mini/day trips instead. It was highly relaxing, and very, very nice. Their kitties were utter dolls, and I enjoyed getting to cuddle them. Wednesday, we enjoyed quality time withalysonwonderlan and sleeping_dragon for full moon, which was lovely.
On Sunday night, I put a bid in on ebay, and lucked out, winning two tickets to see the sneak preview of Serenity in Philadelphia.
So, last night, after work, we did the trek up to the AMC at Neshaminy mall, which is a lovely theater, I might add.
We got in line about an hour before the show, and proceded to have fun.
If you ever get the chance to do that sort of preview/midnight showing, or special event for geek movies, I highly reccommend it. We chatted with the nice people in line, then were offered some tasty cake in honor of it being Joss Whedon's birthday. Then, they passed out lyric sheets with both the theme from Serenity, and "The Hero Of Canton" aka, Jane's song. Then, a birthday card circulated for Joss, and we signed. After a half hour wait, we were allowed into the theater, and given a pretty placard for the movie, and a keychain.
There were no previews, but we did get the great little clip from Joss at the beginning, which was both funny and moving. You can tell that he's put a lot on the line for this movie. And I really, really want it to do well.
Now, onto the movie.
Since I promised not to give spoilers, I'll simply say: Go. See it as soon as you can. It's a wonderful, funny, touching, sad, exhilarating ride. It's Joss at his best. The dialogue is sharp, the characters are fleshed out, and the story has some great twists and turns, and some genuinely heartbreaking and beautiful moments. Think the emotional impact of "Once More with Feeling," "The Body," and yet the laughs of "Bewitched, Bothered, and Bewildered," and "Tabula Rasa."
I'm just hoping that they have other preivews so I can see it again.
Now, I sleepy. *snore*

Squee!
Date: 2005-06-24 05:15 pm (UTC)T and I have been watching the fandango site when the browncoats site mentions the tickets are on sale, but I guess ebay is the way to go. We've missed out twice since they started doing the previews. Did they jack up the price very much for the tickets?
I am going to see this movie- and probably a few times just because I want it to do well too.
