Serenity Again!
A REVIEW of the longer, everything-and-the-kitchen-sink script of Serenity, which apparently reads as mostly the same beast only far less tragedy and much more like a 2-hour long episode of the show. Some bits I would've liked kept in:
SIMON
You were in that same war. But
you live almost like a person
might; you have an actual
relationship — a marriage. You
didn’t turn into some… Gorgon…
ZOE
I’m career Army, my whole family
is. I was already in when the war
started. Mal volunteered. He
joined the fight because he
believed. He believed his planet
should be left alone. Believed we
would win if we gave our hearts to
it, that his generals wouldn’t lay
down arms while his men were still
dying around him… that God would
help us in our darkest place.
She cinches a knot tight, moves to the next body.
ZOE
(continuing)
See, that’s the difference between
Mal and me. All I ever lost was a war.
-- as well as more Inara, Book-on-the ship and more humor at Jayne's expense (best thing, ever!). Reading the review makes me appreciate the movie as it turned out.
and a gloriously satisfying interview of Joss Whedon by Brian Michael Bendis. The topics range from the movies (Bendis' favorite movie of all time is Reds directed by Warren Beatty, and Stan Lee's is My Fair Lady, which fucking boggles my mind!) to comics to music and the writing process.
