[exsequar]

I was being all optimistic and glass-half-full about Serenity's box-office performance - but I just read an article that pretty much shatters all hope I have of a sequel. To make things worse, my local theater is taking Serenity off the screen tomorrow (the last showing starts in 10 minutes) and I never got to see it with my friend Sean. Which I was really, really looking forward to. *sad little sigh*

On the plus side, I received my Serenity visual companion and novel in the mail today. They're pretttttty. I read the first chapter of the novel and it's quite good! The narrative is as though it's Mal's stream of consciousness (at least in this chapter, the battle of Serenity Valley) so it's got the Firefly-ian type of syntax to it. The author does a pretty good job of imitating the way they speak.

I also have a great Firefly fic rec... it's absolutely hilarious. Big Damn Zombies, Sir by Shrift. I highly recommend you check it out :)

Hee, you read it. Yay! Sara will be so proud.

You lot should also be proud of me. Look at this LJ activityness *facepalm* which, according to spellcheck and oh, common sense, could also be called activeness. Which is, you know, a real word and doesn't involve mangling the English language. I deserve a cookie. Or at least a gold star. ;)

What article was that? Have a link?

I thought Serenity was doing pretty well, it hit 23 million today. It had a fixed budge of 40 million, so theyll definitly make that money back. I dont see why Universal wouldnt want to expand the franchise.

Of course, were I kidnapped by witch-killing mountain folk I think I'd be rather more than 'disappointed.'

Oooooh pretty Serenity merchandise. Is the visual companion worth buying? I'm so addicted to the movie right now and my cinema just stopped showing it too so I'm thinking the book might tide me over until the DVD release! And a novel too! Woohoo. I'd better go check out Amazon!

I read the fic and thought it was fantastic! Thanks for recommending!
