levertovfan | Serenity and more

So I saw Serenity last night and it was--to risk sounding like Tom Cruise--magnificent. The sets, the characters, the heartbreak, the dialogue, the fact that Joss did even manage to insert some Ideas. It was certainly much, much darker than the series. It was a lot more violent than I like my movies and the fact that it was only PG-13 is a lousy commentary on our standards for violence on the screen. I won't see it again today because the violence and the emotion were overkill, but I'm definitely going tomorrow.

At work things have been gearing up for me because I will be going to the Girl Scouts National Convention in Atlanta from the 6th through the 9th (it will be a cultural experience) and then the next morning taking the train from Washington up to New York City, where I will spend some time with my father and step-mother, who will be in town for my second cousin's Bar Mitzvah.
