So I caved, children and "Serenity"
Friday, October 28, 2005

An update to my other blog in which I said I wasn't going to take my nephews to see "Serenity" (a movie which they've been dying to see since they've seen my Visual Companion and trading cards and the extended trailer on my comp).

Anyways, after watching a few episodes of Firefly and getting really excited, they finally wore me down (and, hey, selling more tickets to the BDM, who can complain about that?), with the promise to let me know if it got too scary for them.

It was a really quiet session and we were able to talk freely without bothering anyone. Anyways...

#### HERE BE SPOILERS ###



### SPOILERS I TELLS YE ###


As you can imagine, both the 7 and 9 year old boys giggled and were insanely happy when River grabbed Jayne's balls.

Kyle, 9, upon seeing the Operative kick Inara across the room: "He hurt a woman! Oh, he really *is* a bad guy. *pause*. And I wouldn't call him a gentleman at all."

He got right into it.

And when Mal sneaks up onto the bridge to stop River: "Keep your gun ready, that's it, that's it, yes, keep your gun ready... Ohhhh no."

I had to reassure both of them that there were no Reavers on Miranda.

And he couldn't even speak with the whole "leaf on the wind" scene. Could. Not. Speak. His mouth just fell open and he stared at the screen.

They loved it, they were highly impressed by the fact that it was the 'same people' in the 'same ship' with the 'same bad guys' (Reavers and Alliance) as the TV show.

I'm so glad they enjoyed it. It is very exciting, and a little scary, but ultimately so well done....
and it was a good time to go, the movie is disappearing from the theaters too quickly.
