serenity

I had to go into town again after all (necessities like groceries and wifi gear) so I took in a movie.

Serenity is ok but it seemed to downplay a lot of the spahgetti western riffs that I enjoyed in many episodes of Firefly. And I was disappointed that the reavers were explained so easily. And the more I learn about River the less intriguing she becomes, really. And of course big budget hollywood cgi+volence is feh.

On the plus side: Barefoot++; they weren't afraid to kill characters off or do some character development; the wacky little corners remained off-key; and if the series manages to continue things will have changed in interesting ways.
