"Things are about to get interesting."
"Define interesting."
"Oh god, oh god, we're all going to die."
There's a Serenity (Firefly: the movie) trailor here.
Still excited over the purchase.
Watched "The Island" today. The chase/blow up stuff scenes dragged on quite a bit, and there wasn't as much character analysis as I'd have liked, but it was interesting. Of course, being a science nerd, I find the whole plot a mute point if you can just as easily (and with much less ethics and long-term investment concerned) take a cell, revert it to a stem-cell stage, and make it grow into any organ you want. Seriously, people, it might not be good SF material, but it makes more sense.
...am too much of a science fiend, right?
May go with dad to 1000 Islands Tuesday, back Wednesday. See how that turns out.
And now, dinner damnit. And I so need a book to read, rather than HPotter 4 (though enjoyable as a story, still not satisfying literature).
Oh, and Ewan McGreggor has aged, and that makes me sad. But I got to hear his Scottish accent for a little bit, and that... Well, I just had loads of Sith Academy flashbacks, but that was good too.
Y'know, I think it really was the SA that really hooked me to slash. All the other fics I'd come across before that were just PWP ("plot? what plot?", or more correctly, "porn without plot") and not very good ones either. Come to think of it, most of those early fics were Mary Sues and really badly written to boot. (I'll refrain from writting synopses of teh more scarring ones.) But the thing about SA was that the relationship was intersting (and fine, the sex scenes were actually good).
By the by, before I forget, the woman who started and organized the SA, Siubhan, is a published short-story author and has a novel coming out sometime soon called "Chameleon Unbound". She used to have the first few chapters online, but alas, no more. But it looks like a really good read. See it's page here and click to read an excerpt.
I do realize this is shameless pimping, but I really like her writing, although I've never read any of her published stories.
And that, kiddies, is it for tonight.
