Where are all the manly movies.. seriously it's been all chick flicks so far... :|
anyway 40 days and 40 nights is about this guy Matt who after a lot of encounters with the fairer sex and this feeling of utter emptiness inside decides that it would be a awesome idea to go into celibacy for 40 days straight. And if this is not a pretty much impossible task on its own here we go and ad Erica, the nice hot girl from the laundry mat, that Matt of cause falls in love with...
look i know that age wise this is a little off since it is about post college people meaning adults.. however this one has a special place with me because well i was 15 when this one came out.. and yes i have watched it a lot when i was younger.. it was actually a long time since i last saw it though and there was some scenes i had completely forgotten about. Anywho i do love the theme that it portraits because to me no normal person could ever live in absolute celibacy. People would go insane which Matt actually does in the movie.. not insane insane but insane enough (boy that sounded a little crazy) I even discuss this theme every now and then (i don't discuss that often though) that it is just wrong for the Catholic churches to ask this of their priest and in my opinion this celibacy thing might be at fault for some of the cases surfacing over the years about priest because it is about generally suppressing a huge part of what a human is.. anyway the movie is a great chick flick and it has good humor.. and a lot of cruel people not believing Matt can do this...
I might have mentioned this but i'm kinda a big fan of Nathan Fillon... i find him quite funny and very talented.. so when i started looking at the series part of my wanna watch list it just seemed like the right time to start watching firefly... thing is i had already started watching it but then my precious (that would be my external HD) suffered a breakdown and was not to be recoved...
so we have gone way into the future... the earth is no more (at least i don't think so) and the verse (guess universe is to long a word) is controlled by the Alliance. In this world is a very special firefly (oh that would be a space ship), a firefly named Serenity. Serenity is the home of a very wacky crew lead by Captain Malcolm 'Mal' Reynolds. Mal bought Serenity after the war that gave the alliance the power. He has along with him his "armybuddy" Zoe, her husband Wash, the mercenary Jayne and the young and truly adorable mechanic Kaylee oh and the companion Inara... and together they share a lot of adventure throughout the 'verse'... especially after taking on passengers...
i absolutely loooooove the humor in this show... and i find it more than sad that there is only one season.. i better get my fingers on the movie serenity just so i can get a small last fix of this thing XD
there is one thing about this series... as far i figured out there is one order the show was aired and another order that it was supposed to air in.... the later being the one on the boxset.. or that is what i seem to remember... this making it a quite discussed theme among watcher being that it is the wrong episode posting.. but so far i manged to watch 14 different episodes so i think i'm all good there XD
anywho where was i again... hm seems nowhere... bugger... well other than the humor (which is hilarious) there is this thing that i tend to always fall for in this land of the series... well written characters... in this case it might even be a small dose of really good casting.. i don't know how to really explain this so i'm gonna go with an introductions of the members of Serenity.. this also makes me practice getting some more photos on this dang thing :P
Met the one and only Captain Malcolm Reynolds also known as Mal.
Mal served in the war as said above. Afterwards he bought a firefly, a transportship and named it Serenity after the battlefield of his last fight. He sees the crew as his family and is very protective of them. Also he has chosen a new carer of a mostly gray nature. Yet for a criminal he has a very high sense of moral... oh and he just comes with some of the very best quotes
"i swear by
Zoe is the very much kickass second in command. Where Mal is kinda light in his way of being Zoe is more practical. Their time together in the war has made a very special bond between them.... one that Wash, Zoe's husband, is a bit jealous about.
Bringing us to Wash the insane yet brilliant pilot of the Serenity.
Every now and then he just comes with some funny things and then he fly around that firefly like a mad man...
"Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction"
" We live in a spaceship, dear"
The sweet and love Jayne... Jayne is a mercenary and boy does that man love his guns! And yes it is a funny picture i found of the man but i just found him so cute with this nice hat his mother made and sent to him... oh and when he is trying to trade "Vera" for "what Mal got" that was just absolutely priceless :)
So Inara is a companion which basically is a future version of a courtesan. She rents a shuttle and goes around doing legal business while the rest of the crew goes around doing there not so legal stuff... She do however care deeply about the rest of the crew and she seems to be quite happy about Mal ;)
And now to my absolute favorite character in this show... Kaylee, sweet adorable Kaylee.. she is just so damn cute.. seriously i just wanna go and hug her! She is sweet and innocent and really has the cutest smile ever.
she is the youngest member of the crew and it is very clear that the others treat her like a little sister protection wise. Let's just say that Mal gets more than one evil look when he hurts her feelings..
Now that is the original crew... in the very first episode Serenity is taking on passengers... some of these stays on the ship becoming a part of the crew...
this guy right here is Shepherd Books... Shepherd has just left the Southgate Abbey to go see the "world"... However it has been suggested more than once that he is not a shepherd but you never get to a truth in this... though he is not really against shooting people.
When boarding in the first episode the nice doctor Simon comes along to.. bringing with him a well blind passengers. The blind passenger being his teenage sister River. Thing is Simon kinda kidnapped his River from a school/institute thing because she was sending him weird letters that made no sense. River is however somewhat weird... broken somehow.. which makes some right interesting things happens...
so that was a whole lot of stuff on the people in this show ;) there is no doubt i liked this show a lot is there :)
