Joss Whedon is My Master Now

[anotheranon]

Things I noticed upon 2nd viewing of "Serenity" (no, I've not had it on constant DVD rotation since September):

• The thing about Serenity's costumes isn't in the cut, it's in the detail. The operative's diagonally pieced sleeves, Zoe's weathered side zipped top, and the buttons on Mal's breech hems all serve to make the pieces more than mere "jacket", "vest", "pants", they really do :)
  
• Summer Glau was excellently cast - graceful AND predatory, vulnerable AND terrifying.
  
• Is it just me or was Jayne constantly eating something?
  
• Joss Whedon is a master storyteller, bar none! This is modern mythology, folks!
  
• Seeing a movie with an audience consisting mostly of fans is just fun on a Rocky-Horror type level - everyone gets the joke :)
  

Deeply tired and headachey now because I'm up way past my bedtime (such a lightweight, me). Time to snooze.

Knew about it and posted about it twice in LJ ... when I came across the prepublication news and again when I got and read my copy. You must have been speedreading on those days. ***GRIN***

I may well have been speed-reading - zipping through is my default so it's hard for me to slow down :/ My apologies if I cavalierly skipped it, or thought you were referring to the graphic novelization of the movie itself!

***twinkles*** Nothing to apologize for ... I'm a speedreader myself and am constantly sailing by stuff (which I think is cool because on the second, slower read I get "surprises" that I missed the first time). Just wanted you to know that I hadn't been selfishly withholding information, since the graphic was released in February 2006 (the original five comic books came out either just before or at the same time as the movie ... can't quite recall).
