Then we went to see "Serenity." Apparently I am the only one who is disappointed in this movie. It was a good movie with an exciting and interesting plot, but I guess I feel the way people do when they've seen a good movie that was based on a good book, and they'd read the book first. You can fit only so much into a movie.
Through the first half of the movie I was thinking that this movie isn't really part of this series, but rather part of a different series in a parallel universe. People who were getting along better and better throughout the series were getting along less well in the movie, for example.
During the second half, I was thinking that this is too much like a modern turn-of-the-century movie and not enough like a TV series. There was too much focus on special effects and heart-stopping excitement (or dread, really) and not enough focus on character development, continuity, and dialog. So sad.
I'd rather read fan fiction than see the movie again. Well, good fan fiction. Well, maybe I'd rather write fan fiction than see that movie again.
Must not write fan fiction for nanowrimo. Must write own novel.
