hehe, saw a police car and some other car on the side of the road, but for some reason the non-officer was leaning in the window of the officer's car. irony!

saw Serenity last night. pretty good scifi. for a long time i've been wondering where i know the lead actor from, and after none of his movies from imdb ringing a bell, i realized he looks/acts/sounds like brendon fraser. anywya, serenity's space combat was good, the hand-to-hand combat was... ok. it looked alright, maybe a little slow, but it had people taking sword wounds to the stomach then continuing to fight (and eventually win the fight). the funniest part of the movie relates to "the reavers", a race of ex-humans. they used to be human, but somehow they turned into crazy space savages that are nothing but pure hatred; all they do all day long is rape, pilliage, and eat people alive. their ships are covered in corpses, blood, and junk from enemy ships. and they use giant crossbows (called "cannons") instead of guns and lasers like everyone else. oh yeah... most of their ships have giant claws and arms, too... they capture enemy ships, bring them back to the homeworld, and rip the ships open in space, and for some reaosn you can hear all the people screaming as they flight out. and they do things like flay people and hang them outside their ships, etc. it's kind of excessive. and everytime you see these guys, they do nothing but wave their arms around and scream, with bloody faces and bodies covered in scars. it makes you wonder exactly how a race that does nothing but scream, flail,a nd eat people manage to have a massive unstoppable space fleet. like, so when they see an enemy ship, the bridge must go like

captain: "gruaaaaah! *slobbering* afffthhher zheeehhm!"
pilot: *flailing wildly* "wrrrruuaaaaaah! wooorhuaaahruuuuaaaah!*sets coordinates*"

while all the other ship guys just run around screaming, clawing at each other.
but yeah, besides that (or maybe because of it) it's decent enough. as usual, the hero pays lip service to altruism, but ultimately is actually pursuing selfish values (apparently wanting to save the world from monsters and oppressive dictatorial regimes constitutes selflessness; because you obviously have nothing to gain from stopping that!)
