Shiniest movie of the year

Stuff I like

Serenity.

I tagged along with best friend Jane to the premiere up at Universal last night.

You laugh, you cry, you get scared. The whole deal. Eat popcorn and enjoy. It's Joss Whedon, people. The guy can write in three-emotion layers in the middle of chase scenes. If he felt like it, he could make you feel ennui, schadenfreude, and hyggelig, all while something enormous blows up.

The writing is the Joss level of brilliant you'd figure, and his direction is eye-popping and full of surprises. There's even some stuff I think readers of this site will particularly dig.

It's a world. And the world is very cool. Most fun I've had at a movie this year.

With all the bad news and grumbling on this site, for once here's a bit of good fun.
