Serenity, My Take

I saw the movie Saturday night.

I loved the tv series and was filled with remorse when it was discontinued. I expected seeing the movie to be like reuniting with your long lost love. Bruising passionate kisses lost in the euphoria brought on by the scent of that little patch of skin below the ear, but wait, that didn't happen.

Instead, the movie picked up right where the series left off. It was as comfortable as that old leather jacket that comes out of storage when the leaves start to turn. With the ease of talking to an old friend that you haven't seen in years, the movie picked up right where it left off.

When I started to notice things that were different from the series, the movie would address the differences. This happened more than once and each time it happened, it reinforced the feeling that this movie was made personally for me.

I enjoyed it and recommend seeing it.

But I do have to wonder how Joss Whedon feels about Ritalin.
