Yet another hilarious movie summary: Serenity in 2000 Words. I especially love the part where everyone gets introduced.
JOSS WHEDON: Wasn’t that a cool bunch of transitions? Now watch the intro scene designed for people who haven’t seen the series! I promise you’ll like it anyway!
SERENITY: *Flies through space, goes in for re-entry*
FANS: Woo-hoo!
PEOPLE WHO HAVEN’T SEEN THE SERIES: Why is everybody cheering?
SERENITY: *loses piece off her nose*
MAL: What was that?
WASH: This is going to be interesting. By the way, if you saw the series, you know I’m the lovable, mild-mannered pilot with a deadpan sense of humor.
MAL: Define “Interesting.”
WASH: (deadpan) Oh god, oh god, we’re all going to die?
FANS SEEING THE MOVIE FOR THE FIRST TIME: LOL! Even if Whedon kills off a character, as he’s been known to do, it couldn’t possibly be Wash!
FANS SEEING THIS AGAIN BECAUSE JOSS WHEDON IS OUR MASTER: Whedon, you bastard!
JAYNE: I’m a badass with lots of big guns. If you saw the series, you know there’s a town where they think I’m like Robin Hood.
ZOE: I’m a bigger badass than he’ll ever be, even though I only have one gun. If you saw the series, you know I fought in the big war with Mal and then married Wash.
KAYLEE: I’m the cute, happy, earthy mechanic. If you saw the series you know I totally want to jump Simon’s bones.
Way cool.
WHEDON, YOU BASTARD!
Hmm, 4 hours until I see it again…
Buffy Fans: Haven’t we seen this before?
🙂 Y’all should’ve watched Buffy, you missed out on 6 years of classic Wheedon (actually I was watching an episode the SF channel yesterday, and there were multiple Buffy-moments)
