Big Damn Movie

fenchurchJust got home from seeing it for my fourth time (first time in general theatrical release). Wow. The effect of the music and the added sounds was amazing... though I still thought some of the CGI was a tad cringeworthy (sadly, I think the worst shots of the ship were the very first ones we saw).
I loved the changes they made, some of the little snippets that were added in and even some of the bits they cut... a few of the scenes that were entirely too artfully done were cut down and not nearly as conspicuous (don't get me wrong, they were very pretty... but really didn't fit in with the rest of the movie). And there weren't nearly as many shots of River's feet!
We ended up going to see the movie at the new theaters at Alderwood Mall (which are absolutely fantastic) and the place was packed to the gills (considering the "auditorium" we were in was humongous, that's quite a feat). Though it seemed a bit strange to not have someone up front before the movie leading us in the theme song and in the Ballad of Jayne... I'd kinda gotten used to that from the Advance Screenings (however, after the movie was over we did overhear a passle of teenage girls singing the Ballad of Jayne as they were heading out of the theater). Oddly, I also didn't see any cunning hats. Maybe I just missed them, but I'd figured at least a few people would wear them.
Okay, I don't know why the "River is made of chocolate" thingy makes me laugh every time I see it, but it does...
It still just slams me when Wash is killed. Yeah, I get why it happened (for both plot reasons and real world reasons), but it doesn't make me any happier. I loved him individually, but he also made up one half of my favorite character: Wash&Zoe (seriously, there was just something so wonderful about the dynamic of their relationship that made it a character in its own right).
The Operative is still annoying. I don't know, maybe if they'd gone with a non-British accented actor fo the role. I think it was partially the accent that pushes it a bit too far for me.
Love Mr. Universe... though that may partially be because the dirty old woman in me thinks that David Krumholtz is hot, hot, hot!

I like his brother - the guy from Northern Exposure - in Numb3rs though!
I've only seen it once, but I loved the Operative. Over-the-top, sure, but what a fun character.
Looking forward to seeing it again!
