I had a good boob day, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
niqaeli braided my hair while I was watching House at her place, so I'm feelin' pretty. (By the way, I love how easily Mal uses the word pretty.) We went to see Serenity for my third time, and I think I'm finally ready to post about it.
Back in June,niqaeli and I went to one of the not-so-sneak previews, and Nathon Fillion was at our showing. That was very fun. He said some things which were spoilers and some which weren't, so I'll leave the ones that weren't spoilers outside the cut to intrigue all you people who haven't gone to see it yet (what's wrong with you?).
The sneak previews had an intro by Joss Whedon that ran before the film, saying how amazing it was that he got to make this movie after the show was cancelled and how important the fans were. He said he was relying on us to tell everyone we knew, because the film didn't have a lot going for it, in terms of not having any big stars or anything. From halfway up the theater, Nathon Fillion shouts, "WHAT?" Hee.niqaeli and I hope Joss's intro gets on the DVD.
Fillion did a question an answer session after the movie, as well as a signing. I was trying to come up with a good question, and failed. What I did say to him--I had to say something, you know me, brazen--well. Someone asked him what it was like to see himself up on the big screen, and he said it was great and all but was his nose really that big? Amidst the laughter, from the third row, I called out, "Well, you know what they say about a man with a big nose!" He gave me a faux dirty look and protested that his family was there. I am a bad girl. Also, a bad lesbian. He also pulled out the "Hey, I have family here!" defense when people asked him about naked scenes, such as in Trash. People who were not me, truly.
The question I might have asked him if I weren't quite so brazen was were there any pranks on set. Someone else asked it, and his answer was that he didn't have any time for pranks this time around, but due to his previous shenanigans, every time anyone was a victim of a prank, everyone assumed it was him and got him back. Once he came out to find gummi worms melted all over the windshield of his car, stuck in the wipers and all. Adam Baldwin had done it, and the ironic thing was, Fillion informed us, he'd never done anything to Adam, even during the series.
Fillion talked about his gaming, he's big into Halo 2. Someone asked if Adam Baldwin had a controller named Vera, and Fillion said Adam didn't, but he did. His four controllers are Vera, Sticky, Rosie, and Preparation H, and he quoted the bit from Austin Powers (I believe) about how preparations A through G were just not good enough. He gave us a typical day in his life: Gaming, getting a call from his agent, "They said what? But I can play a strong, black woman! ...Oh, fine, never mind," and back to gaming.
This is a borderline spoiler, but it mentions a shot by style rather than content, so I'll leave it outside the cut. They had two major sections of the ship set that were all connected because there was a very long steadicam "oner" shot in the beginnning of the film. Fillion talked about how hard it was to see the Serenity set get torn down again, at the end of the shoot, and how on the last day of shooting, they had already torn down half of it while they were shooting on the other half, and how sad that was.
Alright, now we're into spoiler territory. *shuffles through notes from first screening* Mostly, I don't have anything intelligent to say, any grand theories. Some more stuff Nathan Fillion said, a lot of summary... I'm trying to sort out all the summary and "I like X!" stuff and just leave Nathan's commentary from the preview screening and my more interesting brainwaves of analysis from last weekend and this afternoon.
