So, Kris & I just got back from Chicago. We drove down there yesterday to see a super advance screening of Serenity, which is a movie spawned from the cancelled Joss Whedon series Firefly
Yes, we drove 5 hours there, spent $150 on a hotel room & waited in line for hours to see a movie that isn't even finished yet. It was totally worth it! I know I am a complete geek. I acknowledge this & have even embraced it. If you have even a passing fancy towards science fiction, do yourself a favor & rent/buy the series on dvd! Then on September 30th get your butt to the theater to see this movie! Seriously! You like Star Wars? Lord of the Rings? Trust me, you will love this. If you liked Buffy or Angel, why the heck haven't you seen this already? Dude, its Joss!
There was even a "special message" from Joss at the beginning of the film that was very heart-warming.. actually made me a little teary. And, Summer Glau was there in the flesh! She is absolutely adorable!
There were a few things that didn't quite click in the movie, but they were fairly minor & will probably be cleaned up in the final editing process. I totally can't wait to see the final cut.
I am not a complete freak, & I would probably not have done this for any other film or tv show. This one is special. It crosses genre's & gender lines. It's the show that the cast, crew & fans refused to let die. Its a kind of magic. See It!
Ok, geekiness is over.. next post will be on knitting! :)

Yippie! Geeks unite! LOL
I liked the Firefly series while it was on tv for far too short a season. I've been reading science fiction since back in the days of Heinlein's Star Beast. It's taken a bit of talking, but the library is finally starting to get some sci-fi titles in the large print for us pre-baby-boomers {g}
I can't wait for Serenity, also! Of course, at least we get Joss here at DragonCon in September and a bunch of the cast members, too. Nothing like adding to the excitement, what?
Hey, we have a bunch of geek knitters here. That's awesome. :-)
