Serenity
So the whole gang met down in Augusta to catch the 7:20 showing of Serenity. Josh, Tim and I finished up the last couple episodes of Firefly a week or two ago so we were pretty excited to see the film. We also brought along a couple of Firefly/Serenity virgins - Diane among them - and I was very curious to hear their reactions to the movie.
Before the movie Diane had made a vaguely disparaging comment about the potential entertainment value of the movie, and I told her I'd pay her a dollar if she made it through the movie without laughing out loud at least once. I got to keep my dollar.
I liked it quite a lot. Diane said, (and I quote) "I'm glad you made me watch that. I liked it." Which means she liked it more than she was willing to admit. When I mentioned that the entire series was something like 14 episodes I got the impression that she wouldn't be totally opposed to the idea of watching it. Perhaps a little reluctant to undertake another series, (we're working through MacGyver and The X Files already) but not an outright refusal. That's something, I guess.

Well, in the spirit of defending myself...
Yes, I liked Serenity. I actually liked it more than a little bit. This was CLEARLY evidenced by only one check of Justin's wristwatch during the movie.
However..
I made no disparaging comments, before or after. To disparage something is to belittle it. No way did I belittle anything. :) Any comments that I made were merely expressions of disinterest.
I also must point out that I watched not one, but TWO zombie movies this weekend. I enjoyed both of them.
I'm really not as closed minded as most people would think. I'm just stubborn.
Hmpf.
Stubborn is an acceptable adejective, yes. I'm glad you enjoyed the Zombie films - though even I have to admit, Return of the Living Dead is not a spectacular film. I suppose it doesn't claim to be any such thing.
