Well this week I was able to borrow the first season of HBO's Deadwood, and have become immediately hooked on it. Sure there is blood, nudity and copious amounts of swearing, but that is just the extra. The town set up is gritty, and rife with interesting characters, this sure isn't Miss Kitty's Saloon.
On a side note, Starbucks has a oddly tasty Green Tea Slurpee thing now. After they give you one of those little dixie cup samples, you start craving it like mad. Are you eating it or is it eating you?
Well last night, due to a handy time from my sister, I found out about a press screening for Serenity up at the one of the movie theaters by the Lincoln Center. Universal was nice enough to allow any fans who wanted to show up, free admission. Probably letting the New York Times reviewer hear the audience reaction would help them “get” the film. I did have to slip out of work a little early to get to the 6PM show, and I was convinced that it would be full up by the time I got there. But in fact the theater was only about 3/4ths full. Universal only told a few people in the Firefly Fan scene about the screening 24 hours before hand. I am sure they did not want a rampaging mob of fans- this after all is to let the huge number of NYC based national film reviewers have the best viewing experience. So in that respect the mission was accomplished, I think.
