I'm a little behind with this, but I realized I had over a hundred other pictures on our digital camera that needed to be downloaded and organized before I did the fun stuff (ie. Serenity pics) or it would never get done. So my photo section has a few new additions from the trip home and our little jaunt out to Kananaskis Country.
Anyways - opening night! It was awesome. When we went to see Serenity at a preview showing in Seattle, a lot of the crowd had been at the previous screening and were, though still happy, a little blasé about the whole thing. The crowd on Friday night though - wow! I think Alana, Matt and I were likely the only ones who had seen it already, given that the pre-screenings were all (a) hard to get into and (b) very far from Calgary. So the crowd was just pumped. We chatted with other fans, who were also dressed up (some a lot more than us!), we sang The Hero of Canton, we had a great time. And the big shocking moment? You know, when {big gigantic spoiler here} happens? Watching the crowd's reactions was priceless, especially 'cause I knew it was coming - the huge laugh cut off right in the middle to give way to shocked silence. It was beautiful, I love it when movies have that much of an effect on me. And the emotions {the big gigantic spoiler} evoked were just as strong (maybe a bit stronger, even, as I was anticipating) as the last time.
Best of all, our theatre was SOLD OUT. It makes me so happy to see this little flick succeed, since so many people spent so long wanting it.
Can't wait to go again next weekend! :) It's a great little movie and I'm dragging as many people as I can everytime I go.
