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.

An extension on the first bullet point . . . I'd like to schedule coffee and pick your brain about costuming and fan stuff.

I'm glad y'all had a fabulous time.

No it's not just you ... Jayne seems to be constantly munching out of little foil bags in this film. :p

Hell, if you were out thisaways, I woulda taken you to the movie costuming exhibit at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. They had costumes from Serenity on display so that you could get a close-up look at the detailing.

Baldwin apparently came up with the notion that Jayne had to always be touching or eating something during his scenes. Thus, the constant eating.
