in which I do not write a strongly worded letter to Joss Whedon

[angelgazing]

Hi.

I missed yesterday because there was shopping and Serenity and dying.

Then today there was more shopping and Serenity again and I still died.

Everyone, and I do mean everyone, should watch this movie.


That being said: Joss Whedon is a horrible bastard version of a fanboy but I know why he [spoiler] and that's the worst goddamn part. I don't want to understand why he did it. It's an awesome movie. It just breaks me.

Now: replying to comments and then fic, I think. If I can find a beta (hinthint). The kind of beta who would be all "oh, no, you are a stupid, stupid girl, why would you write River that way? This cannot be posted!" Because that's the kinda shit I need to know.

::begs all prettily::


ETA: Spoilers in the comments!

Dear Joss,

I love you.

However.

I'm sorry Jean Grey died in X-Men. But do you need to kill off a beloved character in EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO because you're possibly the world's biggest fanboy? Wryyyyy? It just ain't right sir.

However.

I love you.

Yours Truly,

modernmouse


Having said that, I must also say: Yes. Serenity. OMG yes. I have no words for the love that I feel.

Now, see, I wasn't aware that Joss wrote X-Men two. Or possibly I'm just missing the point. The fact of the matter is I felt stupid for not knowing it was coming. lol Afterwords, when my mom was still shrieking about how she will not watch Serenity again (she did) and she won't go see another one if it gets made (she will) I was faced with the horrible realization that I know why he did it.

So now I just need to write fic about it and get it out of my head, because Joss Whedon really is just a high-paid fanboy. I'm sort of jealous. I can be a fangirl! Why can't I get paid for it?

Seriously though, did that movie not hit perfectly on every point? lol I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a moment where I didn't feel exactly what he intended for me to, which is rare beyond all rare things before it.

*whimper* Why? What happens? Someone doesn't, like, die? Who is it? Seriously, what? But don't tell me.

I'll beta if you want, but I'm far more likely to say 'please add another 10000 commas as I love them so,' than giv you any actually helpful feedback.

I'll be leaving now, so I don't read that spoiler up there. Gah.

I tell you nothing!

For seriously, you do not want to be spoiled for this movie. There's just... There are no words for how fantastic it is to go into it blind like I did. Well, not totally blind, because I'm pretty sure that I went in seeing more than like, people who haven't watched Firefly (and what's that about, I ask you?) but blind as to what would happen. Seriously, I wouldn't even read reviews because I didn't want to know. And it was greater for it, I think. There are some moments that will absolutely take your breath away. (And moments that will give you chills, and ones that'll make you cry and moments where you're sitting on the edge of your seat and moments where you laugh out loud and that is why I am stupidly in love with anything by Joss Whedon.)

Which, sadly, means I can't allow you to beta the fic I've got stuffing up my head until after you've seen the movie. Cause it's so post-Serenity it's sad. Or crazy. (I mean, what, no, I'm not thinking of trying a River POV. pft.)

(Nospoilers!)

I've now convinced myself someone dies, and have been thinking about it all day. It's not Wash, right? Because, really, it just can't be. I won't allow it. And I know it's not Mal, because that would just be stupid. I'm not amused. I keep seeing spoiler links, and it's taking all my willpower not to look. *bites nails* I don't want any of them to die.

I will tell you only this: There is a scene where Mal is shirtless. I was thinking about it, and I decided that that alone could very well be worth the price of admission. Seriously.

And I spend my time crushing on Jayne and his hot arms of crushiness. (Which, by the way, are EVEN HOTTER on the big screen.)

I know! Everyone and I mean everyone should go watch the movie. I loved Serenity. Ok I spent the first part of it not liking it because it wasn't Firefly which was actually pretty dumb but I thought there was this transition between Firefly and Serenity that was a little hard for me at first. But omg, Joss Whedon just broke me. I was completely sobbing at the end of the movie and I don't cry easily. Joss Whedon has killed characters I've liked before, hell I should have expected it you know? But I really didn't expect him to kill anyone in the movie so I was in total shock. I'm impressed that no one leaked this huge spoiler and it's been out for months and I didn't hear one word of it. That is pretty amazing. I don't think I've ever felt that much ever for a movie before, I've never felt that awful when a character has died. I do understand why Joss did it but still...*sigh* At the end of the movie, I was so proud of the movie and I have so much love for it. I'm going to see it again tomorrow! The great thing about Joss Whedon's work is that it gets better the more times you see it. gosh I really hope there's a sequel cos I want more.

It's funny you say that aout not liking it because it wasn't Firefly, because I got a little caught up in the beginning with how much it was written like a TV show. From the scene cuts to going from one place to the credits (also a cut, but it seemed repetitive to say it that way) it was just so very teaser: credits: act I that I was starting to wonder if Joss Whedon had forgotten how to write a movie script.

Honestly though, I don't know why, but I didn't expect it either. And at the end, I was on the edge of my seat, and it did exactly what he wanted to to, because I thought all bets were off.
