May 3 movie: Serenity. Lisa, Shayne and I talked about going to the "Can't Stop the Serenity" benefit. But we couldn't figure out how to buy tickets, and it became kind of annoying, so we decided to just rent the movie and watch it together.
It was fun to get together! It reminded me of the Buffy nights we used to have. Back when Buffy was a great show and we enjoyed watching it together. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Serenity. Too much speechifying though. Joss sure was fond of the speeches. At the end of the movie Mal gives a particularly egregious speech to River about how love is the first rule of flying. Lisa and I were like, "I thought for sure the first rule of flying was 'don't crash'! Or 'check your equipment,' or 'have enough fuel'!"
That's just a quibble, and I really do love this movie. Gina Torres has to be one of the most beautiful people on the planet. No wonder Joss cast her as a goddess on Angel.
